Korean superstar Gong Yoo is set to meet his Filipino fans as part of his upcoming fan meeting tour.
On Friday, July 10, Yoo's agency, Management SOOP, announced that the actor will embark on his 2026 Asia fan meeting tour titled The Long Take.
The tour will make stops in Manila, Jakarta, Yokohama, Bangkok, Macau, and Seoul.
"The journey begins," Management SOOP wrote in its announcement.
The announcement coincided with Yoo's birthday and came with a handwritten letter from the actor addressed to his fans.
In the letter, Yoo expressed his gratitude for the unwavering support he has received over the years.
"Every year on my birthday, I spend this season feeling deeply grateful for the warm wishes and unwavering support that you send me. Thanks to all of you who have been with me for so long, I naturally found myself looking back on the moments we have shared. So, this year, I have prepared a special gathering where we can meet in person and reminisce about those times together," Yoo wrote in the letter as per English translation.
He added: "I hope that our story, which has continued for so long, can add a new chapter. Until then, I will continue doing my best where I am and come back to you with an even better version of myself. As always, thank you."
Fans online were quick to react to the news.
"Thank you @management_soop and @gongyoo_official. I will be the first in line for the tickets," one fan wrote.
