- Invited for the first time on China's most popular variety programme 『Happy Camp』 and achieved highest ratings amongst all other top Korean artistes who have had appeared on the same show before!
- Got many many awards (Korea's Asia Song Festival, China's Miguhui Music Ceremony, Hong Kong's Yahoo Buzz Asia Awards). Amongst which, he received 4 trophies altogether ('Most Popular of the Decade', 'Hong Kong, Taiwan, Asia's Most Popular Korean Artiste'). This proves he is been internationally and massively acknowledged.
- Confirmed his 3rd Drama to be an action melo-drama 『City Conquest』 where he is the protagonist.
Conclusion: He focused on lots of opportunities to interacted with fans. This was an extremely helpful opportunity that help displayed his most honest, sincere and down-to-earth personality to his fans. And that is why his positive power just keeps influencing across Asia, and is slowly making its way towards the world!
It was mainly his Japan activities and the Asia Fanmeeting Tour. This couldn't have been possible if there was not enough enthusiasm from the market. It is great!!
