Lee Chae Min rose to the top with the time travel drama Bon Appétit, Your Majesty, alongside Yoona. Following this great success, he excitedly announced his first Asia fan meeting tour. Pictures and videos from the tour’s stop have become very popular online. However, recent news brings a disappointing update: the stops planned for Taiwan and Hong Kong have been cancelled. Many fans are wondering what led to this sudden change for the popular actor. Read on to know more.
The actor quickly became a favourite after playing the strict yet charming king in the hit fantasy romance series. Fans loved his strong performance and the fun story of a modern chef travelling back to old times. To keep the momentum going on, Lee Chae Min started his first big Asia tour called Chaem-into you. He met so many fans in Seoul, Jakarta, Manila, and Bangkok, shared laughs with them and created memorable moments.
Sadly, things changed for the last parts of the tour. The Hong Kong event, planned for mid-December, got called off because of a sad fire accident in the city that happened earlier. Organisers said it was too hard to go ahead safely. Soon after, the Taiwan show set for early January 2026 was also stopped. They explained it was due to sudden problems they could not control.
