Meeting fans in major Asian cities, Lee received a warm welcome everywhere he went, reaffirming his status as a globally beloved Hallyu actor.

Particularly during team events with local audiences, he showcased popular characters from his works, taking fans on a nostalgic journey through his most memorable scenes.

From team-building games and bottle flipping in Bangkok to catchphrase and staring contests in Macao, and various other games tailored to each city, Lee ensured a thrilling experience for all attendees.
The fan meeting's name, 'MINHOVERSE', a portmanteau of Lee Min-ho's name and 'universe', symbolizes Lee's desire to swim through a special space with his fans, uniting them across Asia with thoughtful segments.
Highlighting the event was Lee's performance of 'Without You', sung for the first time in 12 years, along with 'Stalker', transforming into a rocker, and 'Be My Last Love', 'Always', 'Good Night, Good Dream', offering a diverse repertoire that indulged fans' ears and perfectly concluded the 'MINHOVERSE MAP' with overwhelming emotion.
