Ahead of the release of his much-awaited movie “Bounty Hunters,” South Korean actor Lee Min-ho visited Chinese malls to promote the film and received extraordinary response from his fans.

According to reports, the film’s cast and crew held a special preview in Beijing last week and traveled to Xi’an and Fuzhou provinces on June 23 and 24 as part of the movie promotions.

Soompi reported that a “Bounty Hunters” promotional event in China was recently canceled. Lee Min-ho’s agency said, “When thousands showed up for the ‘Bounty Hunters’ roadshow, local authorities canceled the event for safety reasons. Lee Min-ho’s visits have attracted thousands of fans, but on June 25 in Guangzhou, more fans than usual were in attendance because it was the weekend.”

After the cancellation, Lee Min-ho made arrangements for the event to be replaced with a film screening, and the actor personally made an appearance at the theater to surprise fans.

For those that weren’t able to attend the screening because of limited seating, Lee Min-ho went out of his way to greet fans that were waiting for him in front of his hotel, Soompi reported.
