Jae Hee Makes Inroads into Taiwan
Young-generation star Jae Hee is poised to emerge as a new hallyu star. He will visit Taiwan on July 10 to promote the series “Sassy Girl Chun-hyang,” in which he plays the lead. The series has been airing in that country since June 4 on GTV as a weekend drama.
During his visit, Jae is determined to do his best to promote “Sassy Girl Chun-hyang” by meeting over 100 fans, appearing on a live show on GTV and holding a press conference with over 20 journalists expected from the local media. On July 12 and 13, he will also hold a photo session for his mobile photo album.
After finishing the filming of the movie “The Art of Fight,” where Jae co-stars alongside Baek Yun-shik, in late August, the actor will launch a promotion tour in Japan, where he is known for his role in Kim Ki-deok’s movie “3-Iron.” The tour is expected to further boost Jae’s popularity as a K-pop star in that country.
After returning from Japan, Jae will choose his next role, which is likely to be a big-screen role, according to his agency.
