KUALA LUMPUR: It looked like a scene from the K-drama Boys Over Flowers, but with much more chaos.
South Korean actor Lee Min-Ho was in Kuala Lumpur for two brand events from Sept 14 to 16.
AsiaOne reported yesterday that when the 37-year-old was at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) on his last day, he was mobbed by fans.
In a post on Xiaohongshu, a netizen shared that they were at the terminal when they saw a group of fans running.
"I overheard someone saying Lee Min-Ho was at the airport and I went to have a look. He walked in within five minutes and the crazy fans kept pushing."
This fan shared a video of the entire fiasco where Min-Ho could be seen trying to help up a fan who fell down.
However, the kind gesture led to mayhem as other fans grabbed his hand and the security staff had to slap their hands away.
The star was not too affected by the commotion and waved at fans before entering the departure hall.
Min-Ho, who shot to international stardom after playing Gu Jun-Pyo in the 2009 series Boys Over Flowers, had a meet-and-greet session for two different brands of which he is an ambassador — at JioSpace on Sept 14 and at IOI City Mall on Sept 16.
At both events, big crowds gathered and Min-Ho was constantly surrounded by security.
Min-Ho took to Instagram Story to repost videos taken by fans, writing sweet messages in Malay.
