Jung Hae In spent two days in the Philippines embodying the title of his fan meet, “Our Time,” and shared it meaningfully with Filo-Haeiness just days before Christmas.
On his day of arrival in the country, December 20, 2024, the South Korean actor, known for his hit K-Dramas such as “Love Next Door” and “While You Were Sleeping,” held a press conference where he welcomed fans and even gamely answers questions from the press as he kicks off his “Our Time” Fan Meeting in Manila.
In his opening statements, he gracefully greeted his Filipino fans and expressed that he’s happy to be back in Manila and that he misses his Filo-Haeiness despite being in the country last 2023 for his “The 10th Season” Fan Meeting. He openly shares that if given the opportunity, he’d like to visit Manila Bay.
As the year is nearing to draw its close, when asked of what’s his New Year’s wish, Jung Hae in dwelled on the same goals he has from 2024, expressing the importance of making health the main priority for everyone.
Surely, Filipino fans had taken notes from the actor himself, making it a good headstart for the year 2025, and most especially, for the fan meet to come the day after the press event.
At the fan meeting, hosted by resident emcee Sam Oh, Jung Hae In came prepared with a handful of Filipino words to hype up his fans. He started with “mabuhay” (welcome) and followed with “kumusta kayo?” (how’s everyone?). His Filipino-era hype didn’t stop there, as he introduced himself in Filipino and reiterated how much he missed everyone, expressing his happiness to be back in the country for the fourth time. It was held at the New Frontier Theater on December 21, 2024.
The “Love Next Door” star showed off his talents beyond just acting, bringing off four mesmerizing stage performances. These included staging of his own renditions of songs from his most recent drama “Love Next Door,” as well as notable songs from Nerd Connection, Stephen Sanchez, and Park Ki Young.
As the night was still young, and as the fan meeting was prepped with a total of six jampacked segments, Filo-Haeiness definitely shared the night merrily, of course, not getting out of the picture that the fan meet was a great Christmas present from the actor himself. Most segments were meant for a brief catching up over the year that has passed since the actor has been in the Philippines, some were for challenges, fun and interactive games.
A definite highlight of the evening was the segment called “Our Memory,” where Jung Hae In invigorated everyone and encouraged them to make their own memory, the Philippines way, as he filmed on his team’s camera having fun and goofing around with fans. After much time filming fun and memories together, the end part caught everyone’s attention and was caught up and intrigued as the actor recorded a final message on stage for his Filipino fans that’s unheard of, as it was intended to be released sometime in March 2025 making it a thing to look forward to next year.
The event almost concluded with a touching note, as Jung Hae In could not promise to have his fifth fan meeting in 2025, but instead, promised everyone to come back as soon as he can and when there’s an opportunity despite his busy schedule. He also stresses Filipinos’ passion that he cannot forget since then, as the fans were remarkable and very energetic ever since he is in the country.
During the picture taking, a fan video project was flashed as a surprise to the actor, making the night as intimate to their time together. The fan meeting ended with a goodbye session for all attendees where fans get to say goodbye to him face-to-face as they leave the event venue.
