Sung Hoon Heats Up the Stage at Oh!K’s 5th birthday celebration!

Wednesday, October 23, 2019

I Live Alone star, Sung Hoon made a visit to Malaysia over the weekend for a highly awaited public meet-and-greet with his fans. Held in line with Oh!K’s 5th birthday at 1 Utama Shopping Centre, more than 3,000 fans thronged the mall to get a glimpse of the star. Burgeoned with screaming fans, the meet-and-greet session featured a string of K-experiences including group photos, stage activities and hi-touch opportunities with the celebrity heartthrob.

Also known as ‘DJ Roiii’, Sung Hoon brought the house down with a special birthday segment for Oh!K.

Thousands cheered on their oppa as he heated up the stage by transforming from a lovey-dovey sweetheart to his club-centric alter ego!

Being cheeky as he always is on I Live Alone, Sung Hoon effortlessly showed off this side to his Malaysian fans during the stage activities. He swept them off their feet by recording a wake-up call video for a lucky winner, took some selfies with his fans and even autographed premiums for them. He also had many up-close interactions with his fans on the ground to ensure that no one was left out.

Sung Hoon also greeted his local followers in a Facebook Live session on Oh!K’s Facebook page, a few hours ahead of the fan-meeting. He shared his excitement to be back to Malaysia after two years and that he has been studying English to better communicate with his fans across the globe. This Facebook Live session recorded close to 1000 comments from excited fans.

This exciting fan meet also resulted in #SungHooninMalaysia becoming a trending topic on Twitter over the weekend. It peaked to the #2 spot remained on the top 10 list of trending topics in the country for an impressive six hours straight. Sung Hoon’s visit to Malaysia was held in partnership with Astro, and was proudly sponsored by Nivea Micellar Water.

Korean Heartthrob Sung Hoon Greets Fans in Singapore

Monday, September 30, 2019

Partnering with Oh!K, StarHub invited star of hit Korean variety show I Live Alone, Sung Hoon, to Singapore to meet with friends in the media and fans. Sung Hoon’s appearance is a celebration of Oh!K’s 5th birthday, and part of a series of engagement activities to bring fans closer to their favourite celebrities, in the lead up to StarHub Night of Stars 2019.

At the press conference held on Friday, Sung Hoon candidly shared his thoughts on being on I Live Alone. He found the filming process very comfortable as he could just be himself. When answering questions from the media, he revealed that he will absolutely not want to release a music album but is open to just singing to have fun with his fans. As an animal lover and owner of a new dog, if he could live like his rich drama characters, he hopes to be able to purchase a private jet so he can bring his dog Yanghee around the world with him.

Later in the evening, Sung Hoon greeted an atrium filled with enthusiastic screaming fans at City Square Mall. 3 lucky fans got an opportunity to play a game with Sung Hoon - persuading him to try out their favourite local dish between three choices: Hokkien Mee, Carrot Cake and Ice Kachang. Unable to decide on just one dish, Sung Hoon made the fans play a game of Scissors, Paper, Stone to determine the winner of a pair of StarHub Night of Stars 2019 tickets.

To thank his fans for their support, Sung Hoon went the extra mile, he dashed down the stage (to the alarm of security members) to present a gift to an audience member and warmly shook hands with them. 20 pairs of StarHub and Oh!K subscribers also took their turns to go on stage for a group photo with the charismatic actor. Ending off the session, Sung Hoon was asked to strike three of his best poses, the actor was very shy and made use of a dog plushie gift as a prop - placing it on his head, into his vest and ending off the event with a huge victory pose.

Sung Hoon’s I Live Alone has been nominated for the Favourite Variety Show award for StarHub Night of Stars 2019. Decided entirely by fans, visit StarHub’s Facebook page now to show your support for Sung Hoon.

To catch more of Sung Hoon, tune in to Oh!K (StarHub channel 816) to watch I Live Alone, a special weekend marathon is airing throughout the month of October, every Saturday at 10.50pm. New episodes of I Live Alone is also available every Sunday, 1050pm on Oh!K (StarHub channel 816).

A wonderful Korea Drama Night with Sung Hoon + Special guests: The King & Rookie Actors, Lee Pan Do & Ho Seong

Thursday, November 02, 2017

In the last week of October, actor Sung Hoon graced Malaysian shores together with uprising K-pop group, The King and also two rookie actors, Lee Pan Do and Ho Seong at 'Korea Drama Night' which hosted by Korea Tourism Organization (KTO).

Thousands of fans swarmed to KLCC Plenary Hall on 28 October 2017 (Saturday), 7pm just to watch Sung Hoon up close. Fans who not able to grab the tickets were seen waited outside the venue just to catch a glimpse of the actor.

If you think Sung Hoon is only good in acting, a big no-no as he surprised the audiences by performing a total of 4 songs, “Pumping Jumping”, “My Style” and drama ‘My Secret Romance’ OSTs - “You are the world of me” and “The Ocean and You”.

Two fans were picked on stage to play games with Sung Hoon during the game session. (ps: Sung Hoon even picked fans from the upper tier *furthest from the stage* which given the chance to every fans at the venue to meet him up close) One of the warm-hearted moments was Sung Hoon trying to solve the issue when three fans instead of two came on stage. Gifts were given to all three fans and Sung Hoon even left his autograph on the photo books. When comes to the photo session, fans showed their desired in hoping to stand right beside Sung Hoon and once again, Sung Hoon switched his position for each fans to have the chance to stand beside him. (ps: such a sweet OPPA)

Other than Sung Hoon, KTO also brought Sung Hoon's labelmates, The King, actors Lee Pan Do and Ho Seong to Malaysia to meet the fans for the very first time. (ps: The King's Bawool studied in Malaysia previously so this was not his first visit~) The King, is a K-pop group who well-known for their popular single, 'The Outline of Love'. (ps: recently, they released the mandarin version of the single)

Surprisingly Lee Pando and Ho Seong sang really well as being an actor. The guests started with collaboration stage where The King’s Bawool and Lee Pando sang drama Goblin's OST, ‘First Snow' followed by The King's ‘Look Back’ and ‘Makes Me High’ performances. The crowd went wild when Sung Hoon joined the stage during 'The Ocean and You' performance. The collaboration stage ended with Lee Pando, Ho Seong and The King's Sejin's 'Blue' performance. (ps: The King live performance was really great too, hope they will comeback and release more songs!)

Before the night ended, Sung Hoon transformed as a DJ and turned the venue into a nightclub. The audiences can't hide but jumping off their seats and followed the rhythm. Thanks to the exciting Sung Hoon DJ non-stop playing the beats during the encore stage, the show was extended to an hour. (ps: thank you for showing your loves to Malaysian fans~ xD)

The surprise is not ended as Sung Hoon prepared a hi-touch session in showing appreciation to the fans who came to the event. (ps: Sung Hoon wore a glove in showing respect to our Muslim friends, He even explained before the hi-touch session that depending on the fans, they can choose to come on stage to greet him without having hi-touch.) We were truly amazed by Sung Hoon's thoughtfulness.

Bonus for our readers! Check out how Sung Hoon's Baby Shark Aegyo. Too cute to describe:
