South Korean heartthrob Lee Dong-wook, most recently seen in tvN’s hit drama “Goblin”, will be going on a tour in Asia to meet fans, media reports said on Wednesday (25 January).

Yonhap News reported that Lee’s agency, Kingkong Entertainment, said the actor would start the meet-and-greet sessions in Seoul on 12 March, before moving to other countries in Asia from April.

The actor “has been preparing for the upcoming event in his spare time despite his hectic schedule to make up for the great love he had received,” Kingkong Entertainment reportedly said. More details of Lee’s tour will be available after 30 January, the report added. According to Hellokpop, Lee will be visiting eight countries.

Lee’s role as the Grim Reaper in “Goblin” drew praise from fans, especially for his star-crossed romance with Sunny, played by Yoo In-na. The 16-episode K-drama, which also stars Gong Yoo as the titular character and Kim Go-eun as his “bride” Ji Eun-tak, recently ended its run on Saturday.

Lee Dong-wook was previously in Singapore in 2011, where he sang at fan meet for the drama “Scent of a Woman”.

Anger mounts over China's response to deadly car attack
STORY: China's government faced mounting anger Wednesday over its handling of the deadly car attack there earlier in the week - and appeared to be taking steps to limit news of the incident. On Monday, a man drove into a crowd at a sports center, killing 35 and injuring 43. But the government took nearly a day to announce the death toll, and the incident has been little reported by state media. Some online posts criticising the government's response, or questioning what the attack means for Chinese society, were rapidly removed by authorities.Candles and flowers that had been laid at the scene on Tuesday evening at the sports center's west gate later disappeared.A Reuters reporter on the scene said they were removed overnight. The west side of the sports center was blocked with metal barriers and guarded by security.Despite the efforts to clear the site, many kept dropping off fresh flowers on Wednesday morning. “It was just a spontaneous feeling that I had (when I came to lay the flowers). Even though I didn’t know them personally, it felt like those time when I had family members pass away in the past. So I (kind of) understand that feeling, and this is my feeling.”“We need to fundamentally improve the happiness of our people, to ensure equality for everyone. Also, there shouldn’t be extreme thoughts. Innocent people are involved here – but what did they have to do with anything?"Local police have named the suspect as a 62-year-old man with the surname Fan. He is being treated at a hospital for serious injuries after apparently stabbing himself following the attack.Investigators say the incident was seemingly triggered by the man's anger over his divorce.Chinese authorities on Wednesday called for 'full efforts' to treat those injured in the attack.
