Top Star Lee Byung-hun Celebrates Birthday in Japan

Top Korean star Lee Byung-heon will hold a showcase to mark the publication of his third photo collection "Paris, a Monochrome Man in a Monochrome City" on July 12, his 37th birthday.
The showcase was hosted by a Japanese marketing firm at the request of Lee's Japanese fans. The event will take place in Nihon Budokan in Tokyo.
Lee's official fan club will also hold a birthday party for him at the showcase. There were so many people wanting to attend the party that the showcase will be held in two separate stages--at 2 pm and 7 pm--to accommodate the 16,000 fans expected.
Lee's fan meeting in May 2006 at the Tokyo Dome was attended by some 42,000 fans, demonstrating his popularity in Japan. The upcoming showcase will again prove his drawing power and solidify his position in the Japanese entertainment industry.
At this year's birthday party, Lee's Japanese fans will sing "Happy Birthday" in Korean and participate in a variety of fun events. Later this year, Lee plans to embark on a tour of large Japanese cities.

Lee Byung Hun to launch Photobook & celebrate Birthday with Japanese Fans
Lee Byung Hun’s management company is planning a birthday party for him on 12th July and at the same time launching his new Photobook.
Although there are lots of Hanllyu stars going to Japan, but to be able to enter the hub of the Japanese entertainment industry and also having a birthday party there, this is a first time ever.
The strong request from the Japanese fans and company (I guess it’s the Management company) has resulted in the organizing of this birthday party. As there are a lot of preparation work and a lot of fans are expected to turn up for the party, it was planned to have 2 sessions of the party.
The meeting of fans on that day would be broadcasted via the Television. At the birthday party, there will also be an introduction session on his new photobook “a monochrome man in a monochrome city”, and photos from the photobook are made into DVD.
On that day, there will be promotion of Lee Byung Hun’s new movie, “The Good, The Bad & The Weird” which is directed by Director Kim Ji-woon.
