Actress Ha Ji-won, well known for her roles in the movies "Love So Divine" and "The Duelist" as well as the TV dramas "What Happened in Bali" and "Damo," will hold her first meeting with Japanese fans May 26.

The meeting will take place at Tokyo's Nakano Sun Plaza Hall, which can accommodate 2,200 people. Ha will shake hands with all of her fans who come to see her on that day.



Ha's fan base in Japan has expanded since movies and TV dramas starring the actress opposite such top hallyu stars as Kwon Sang-woo, Yeon Jung-hoon, Kang Dong-won, So Ji-seop, Cho In-sung and Lee Seo-jin were shown in Japan. The news about her first fan meeting in Japan has drawn significant attention from Ha's fans.

Ha has recently drawn the spotlight as another promising hallyu star for her versatile acting in movies and TV dramas of various genres, such as epic dramas and contemporary films.

Note: She is still loving and beautiful, even she wore a traditional costume.

Given the already established role of "gisaengs," or female entertainers, in the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910), one can easily draw the idea that they existed to entertain "yangbans," or aristocrats, of the Confucian system.

This prevailing description of gisaengs, however, has recently been replaced by a new view that portrays them as multitalented entertainers of exquisite artistic talent and sophisticated social skills.

The shift in view goes on to highlight the life and career of big-name gisaeng Hwang Jin-i as a cultural icon of the times, who left a distinct mark in Korean history with her creative artworks.

Hwang was not only a gisaeng but also a painter, poet and calligrapher of the late 16th century, who rubbed shoulders with some of the era's most intelligent figures such as scholar Seo Kyung-duk and well-known monk Jijok.
