‘A Date with Joo Won’ Fanmeeting in Jakarta and Singapore

ONE, the #1 Korean entertainment channel in the region, will be bringing top Korean star Joo Won (lead actor of hit television series ‘The Gang Doctor/Yongpal’) on a 2-city tour of Jakarta and Singapore on 9^th and 10^th October 2015 respectively! This will be the first time that Joo Won will visit Southeast Asia, and he will be embarking on the tour immediately after the filming of The Gang Doctor/Yongpal ends.

Titled ‘A Date with Joo Won’ (IG Hashtag #DrJooWon), the meet-and-greet session will provide an opportunity for fans to get up-close and personal with the dashing, boyish actor. The multi-talented 28-year-old star, who has acted in big-scale musicals such as Altar Boyz, Grease, Spring Awakening as well as in numerous hit TV dramas and films, has been lauded for his charismatic and natural acting skills. Joo Won first appeared on TV in the 2010 drama, ‘King of Baking’, which was hugely popular and achieved over 50% ratings in Korea. In 2013, Joo Won acted in ‘The Good Doctor’ to acclaimed reviews and swept multiple acting awards for his role as an autistic doctor.

His latest work ‘The Gang Doctor/Yongpal’ is Joo Won’s first TV drama on SBS (Seoul Broadcasting Network) and on ONE. Acting alongside other Korean big names including Kim Tae Hee (Jang Ok Jung), Jo Hyun Jae and Chae Jung Ahn, the show has been dubbed the most popular Korean drama series of 2015, garnering record ratings in Korea and in the region. Just days ago it was also announced that due to its immense popularity, the series will be extended by two more episodes – bringing the total to 18 from 16 episodes.
