After holding a fan meeting last year, on the night of Saturday, December 7, 2024, Jung Hae In returned to Jakarta for his second fan meeting. The event, titled JUNG HAE IN FAN MEETING TOUR TIME IN JAKARTA, created many funny and adorable memories between Haeiness (his Indonesian fans) and Jung Hae In.
This second fan meeting in Indonesia, titled Our Time, was successfully organized by Brausslive and Diwaku Entertainment at the Balai Kartini Convention Center.
One of the funny moments during the fan meeting involved a fan who revealed that she was single through a note. This happened during the session where Jung Hae In read messages from fans expressing their worries, and he was asked to provide solutions to their concerns.
Initially, one fan shared her concern about her messy room and asked for tips on cleaning it. Jung Hae In responded humorously, admitting that his own room also gets messy because of his busy filming schedule.
“I don’t know how dirty your room is. Actually, sometimes my room is messy too because I’m busy filming and don’t clean my room. If I were to give advice, I’d say start with the little things you can see. If you see something dirty, clean it right away. But my room is clean now,” he said with a smile.
After reading a few more messages from fans, Jung Hae In then picked another note that read, “Oppa, I’m single, please pray that I can get married.” He responded, “Okay, I will,” and many fans in the audience shouted that Jung Hae In could be her future husband. This made the actor laugh out loud. So much so, that Jung Hae In jokingly said his jaw hurt from all the laughter.
“Are you proposing to me? My jaw hurts from laughing so much,” he joked, holding his jaw.
In another session, Jung Hae In mentioned that Love Next Door, which he starred in alongside Jung Somin, would be his last drama where he wore a school uniform, as he felt it was no longer suitable for someone in their 20s. “Love Next Door is the last drama where I wear a school uniform. At 17? But at over 20, I think it’s a bit excessive. I’m getting old. I know I have a baby face, but you guys forget my age. I’m not young anymore,” he said.
On the other hand, Jung Hae In acknowledged that, at his age, he was already suited to be a father and was often called “Appa” (father in Korean) by his fans. However, he admitted that he preferred being called Ahjussi (an older man or uncle).
“Yes, I am an Ahjussi. It’s divided between calling me Oppa and Ahjussi. Some even call me Appa. My age is suitable to be a father, but I prefer being called Ahjussi,” he said.
After being teased by fans with the title Ahjussi, Jung Hae In said he didn’t mind if they called him Oppa. “If that’s the case, I’ll be your Oppa for Haeiness,” he said, making the fans cheer.
Besides answering intriguing questions, Hae In also entertained the fans by flirting in Indonesian, revealing behind-the-scenes photos and scenes from his series, and playing games like bekel (a traditional Indonesian game). He even attempted the trending APT dance challenge from social media, which made fans go wild. It was a fun-filled night, with Hae In learning to flirt in Indonesian!
The highlight came when Jung Hae In, who recently won the Best Supporting Actor award at the Blue Dragon Film Awards, completed the klepon cooking challenge on stage! He made the traditional Indonesian delicacy carefully and enthusiastically from scratch, and what started as making 3 pieces turned into 5 pieces at his request. At the end of the cooking session, five lucky fans were invited onto the stage and received extra fan service when they were fed klepon by Jung Hae In himself!
