Editor’s comment: Throughout the whole fan meeting, we believe that fans are able to feel Bogum’s sincerity in everything his does. There was a section whereby Bogum had to walk passed the crowd section and during this section, it can be clearly seen that he actually took his time and tried his best to greet each and every single fan he saw. As for the game session, he just needed three “O” for a bingo game but he said he did not mind playing another two more games. Bogum also took a lot of effort to pick some local words to be used during the press conference and also the fan meeting.

We wish you all the best in all your upcoming projects and wish your life will be filled with health, love, joy and happiness!

Not to be forgetten, shoutout to Park Bogum’s 2016-2017 Asia Tour Fan Meeting in Kuala Lumpur’s EMCEE, Mr. Owen Yap for being such a dedicated and professional emcee. We believe the crowd as well as Bogum himself enjoyed the fan meeting a lot and it is definitely a great start for Bogum’s Asia Tour.
