South Korean actor Lee Min Ho finally returned to Indonesia for a fan meeting after 12 long years. On Saturday evening (April 19, 2025), the fan meeting titled “Mihoverse in Jakarta” was held at ICE BSD, Tangerang. The TodayStageID team had the opportunity to directly cover the event, which was successfully organized by promoter Litxperience as part of the 2025 LEE MINHO ASIA FANMEETING TOUR IN JAKARTA [MINHOVERSE]. And yes—it was a blast from start to finish!
During a press conference session with the promoter before the event, they promised a fan meeting experience like no other. The MINHOVERSE theme was specially designed to invite MINOZ (Lee Min Ho’s fandom) into Lee Min Ho’s universe.
“Each country has a different theme, and the one today is exclusive to Jakarta and Indonesia,” said Sheila, Project Manager of the 2025 LEE MINHO ASIA FANMEETING TOUR IN JAKARTA [MINHOVERSE].
The Long-Awaited Reunion: Lee Min Ho Meets Fans After 12 Years
The fan meeting began right on time at 7:00 PM local time, starting with Indonesia’s national anthem, “Indonesia Raya.” Shortly after, Lee Min Ho appeared wearing a black bomber jacket paired with a crisp white shirt underneath.
“Hello, how are you? I’m Lee Min Ho,” greeted the Boys Over Flowers actor, known for his role as Gu Jun Pyo.
“It’s been so long. After 12 years, I’m finally here again,” he said, smiling at the sea of fans in front of him.
His appearance—black jacket over a white shirt—instantly sent his fans, the MINOZ, into a frenzy of cheers and excitement.
“Thank you so much for the incredible welcome. Thank you for making time for me,” he added warmly.
“I miss you all,” Lee Min Ho said in Indonesian, which prompted even louder screams from the crowd.
And it didn’t stop there—fans went wild again when Lee Min Ho took off his jacket. Amused by the enthusiastic reactions, the 37-year-old actor couldn’t help but laugh.
Flashbacks to Bali: Surfing and Spicy Street Food
Lee Min Ho shared that it had been a very long time since he last met with his Indonesian fans. Aside from fan meetings, he once visited Bali for a photoshoot.
“I went surfing there and just enjoyed the beauty of Bali,” he said.
Event host Indra Herlambang then asked if there were other cities in Indonesia he would like to visit. Lee Min Ho turned the question to his fans:
“Any recommendations?” he asked MINOZ.
Fans shouted out suggestions like Bandung, Makassar, Lombok—even Bekasi.
“Bandung?” Lee Min Ho repeated curiously.
Hearing the name Bekasi, he seemed surprised:
“Okay… where is Bekasi? I think this is my first time hearing that name,” he chuckled.
Some fans even invited him to their homes!
“Come to my house—my parents want to meet you!” Indra translated on behalf of a fan in the audience.
Lee Min Ho burst into laughter.
“Oh really? That sounds good!” he replied with a shy smile.
Trying Indonesian Food — Including the Infamous Seblak
Indra also asked if Lee Min Ho had tried any local food.
“Any recommendations?” he asked the audience.
Fans shouted out: seblak, nasi Padang, sate ayam. Lee Min Ho focused on seblak.
“What’s seblak? Is it like porridge?” he asked.
Indra explained it’s a spicy, soupy snack dish. Lee Min Ho, a self-proclaimed spice lover, was intrigued.
“I like spicy food,” he smiled.
A Special Moment for MINOZ — and for Lee Min Ho
Lee Min Ho considered this fan meeting a very special occasion.
“I’ve been in this industry for a long time. I’ve done many projects, but nothing is more meaningful than being able to meet my fans like this.”
He was far from stiff—throughout the event, he joked around, laughed, and interacted cheerfully with the crowd. The fan meeting closed with him fluently saying “Selamat malam” (“Good night”) in Indonesian—ensuring that every MINOZ left with a heart full of joy.
Fun & Games: Guess That Song and Rock-Paper-Scissors
In addition to performing solo songs and OSTs, Lee Min Ho also invited lucky fans on stage to play games like “guess the OST” and rock-paper-scissors. The prizes? Exclusive merchandise—and even a hug from the actor himself. What a treat!
Blue Dress Code: United in Color and Spirit
From the moment you stepped into Hall 10 of ICE BSD, pastel blue vibes were everywhere—from the entrance gate, official posters, and of course, MINOZ’s outfits.
Like most K-pop events in Jakarta, MINHOVERSE also had a specific dress code. This time it was light blue with white, radiating fresh, cheerful energy—perfect for a night of fun.
A Decade in the Making
This was Lee Min Ho’s second fan meeting in Jakarta, the first being in 2013 during the Lee Min Ho Global Fan Meeting First Love with Indonesia. No surprise that this event brought together fans across all ages and generations.
This stop in Jakarta is part of Lee Min Ho’s ongoing Asia tour, which kicked off in Seoul and will continue through major cities like Bangkok, Macau, Taipei, Manila, and Tokyo.
