FAN MEETING PARK BO GUM 2025 BE WITH YOU FAN MEETING TOUR The Star Theatre Aug 14 If there was a recurring theme for Park Bo-gum's Be With You Singapore fan meeting, it would be gratitude.

Throughout the 3½-hour long event at The Star Theatre on Aug 14, words such as "thank you", "grateful" and "blessed" flowed freely from the 32-year-old's mouth. The South Korean star was also visibly touched by his fans' support as he celebrated his 14th year in show business.

Park - who also sings, plays music and hosts - debuted as an actor in 2011 with a bit part in the crime thriller film Blind, and went on to become a successful performer.

He admitted to the audience that 2025 is his year, with his recent TV series - romance drama When Life Gives You Tangerines and actioner Good Boy - receiving rave reviews and high viewership ratings.

He said it was his wish to take his fans on a personal journey at the fan meeting, for being with him all these years. To the supporters - some of whom flew in from China, Thailand and the United States - the handsome K-idol, famed for his "good boy" reputation, is their Prince Charming personified.

The Be With Me world tour kicked off in Yokohama, Japan, in July, with Singapore being the third stop after Seoul. Other stops include Asian cities like Kaohsiung, Manila, Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur, before the tour heads to Latin American countries such as Mexico, Brazil and Chile.

Here are three highlights of the show that proved Park is a consummate all-round entertainer.
