Lee Jong Suk & Moon Ga-young Make KL the Heart of ‘Law and the City’ Fans Celebration
Thursday, August 14, 2025
Kuala Lumpur was swept into K-drama fever on August 10–11 as Lee Jong Suk and Moon Ga-young, the beloved leads of tvN Asia’s Law and the City, made their highly anticipated Malaysian stop for the ‘Star Tour’. This marked Malaysia as the only Southeast Asian stop for the drama’s promotional events, giving local fans a rare chance to meet the stars in person — a memory that will be cherished for years to come.
Since its premiere, Law and The City has consistently ranked as the No.1 international drama on Astro. Following the success of the star tour, the drama also climbed into the Top 10 of all TV programs on Astro and recorded a notable spike in catch-up viewing on On Demand via Astro GO, further solidifying its standing as a fan-favourite in Malaysia.
The excitement began at Pavilion Kuala Lumpur, where more than hundreds of fans gathered at the entrance despite the rainy weather. The area was adorned with striking Law and the City posters, setting the perfect backdrop for the stars’ arrival.
As Lee Jong Suk and Moon Ga-young walked the red carpet, they took time to sign the posters and even snapped selfies with a few lucky fans, drawing cheers from the crowd. The atmosphere was electric as the actors waved and greeted everyone, their warm smiles cutting through the drizzle.
Exclusive Finale Screening — Together With the Stars 
Press Conference — Charm, Insights & Laughter
Both stars reminisced about filming in Hong Kong, with Moon Ga-young recalling the excitement of exploring a new city and Lee Jong Suk praising the great weather during the shoot. When it came to food, Moon Ga-young couldn’t forget the egg tarts, while Lee Jong Suk cheekily mentioned Hai Di Lao — which he happily enjoyed again during his Malaysia trip.
Following the public meet-and-greet, the pair headed to Dadi Cinema for a special finale screening. While the episode aired simultaneously across Asia, this event was made truly unique by the fact that fans experienced the heart-stopping conclusion in the same theatre as the lead actors.
Before the screening, Lee Jong Suk and Moon Ga-young greeted the audience, thanked them for their support, and shared how meaningful it was to watch the ending together. Laughter, applause, and a shared emotional connection filled the room as the story unfolded on the big screen.
The next day, the stars met the press in Kuala Lumpur, with Lee Jong Suk looking sharp in a tailored suit and Moon Ga-young exuding casual elegance in a red-and-white blouse paired with trousers.
They introduced their characters — Lee Jong Suk as Ahn Joo-hyung and Mun Ga-young as Kang Hee-ji — before diving into candid stories about filming.
When asked what drew her to the project, Moon Ga-young admitted with a smile,
“Honestly, it was because of Lee Jong Suk oppa. I loved the script, but the amazing cast sealed the deal.” Lee Jong Suk revealed he was drawn to the role because it let him show a more relatable side of himself, something closer to everyday life.
