Recently, concert halls are high in demand. 400 and 500-seating concert halls have already become 'sold out' in the first half, and it is difficult to find a 700-seating concert hall. This is due to the fast-paced fan meeting of the entertainment industry, which has welcomed the endemic. Actors such as Lee Je-hoon and Lee Jong-suk, who have maintained solid fandom, have already held fan meetings on a large scale, and actresses have participated in them, and the entertainment industry is now in a 'fan meeting craze'.

Park Eun-bin recently successfully completed a fan meeting at Sungshin Women's Unjeong Green Campus Auditorium, a 700-seat concert hall. In fact, as soon as the ticket was opened, all seats were sold out, and the second round was opened, adding to the rapid fan attraction. In front of fans who filled the seats, Park Eun-bin was cheered by singing a total of three songs and answering questions. On top of that, Park Eun-bin's careful consideration was applauded, as she conducted a live performance for fans who could not get seats and even created foreign language subtitles in Chinese and English.

Kim Go-eun will also hold a fan meeting with about 1,000 seats. Kim Go-eun, who celebrated her 10th anniversary since her debut in 2012, will meet fans with "Come in Close" on the 15th. Although it is a rather large number of seats, all 1,000 seats were sold out at the same time as the reservation was opened. There was also word that the ticket price was 'somewhat expensive', but it is expected to prove that it is going to be worth it as Kim Go-eun shows talent in various fields such as singing and dancing.

Fan meetings have been thought to be exclusive to male actors, but it is now being used as a fan service for female actors. In the case of fan meetings, rental fees cannot be ignored because they are activities that are directly related to profits. If the number of seats is not filled properly, the 'minus' cannot be ignored. Accordingly, the agencies worry about holding fan meetings, but now actresses are confidently choosing to do them. This is possible because fandom formation was made through female narrative works such as "Extraordinary Attorney Woo" and "Little Women".

An actor's agency official told Sports Chosun, "We are deciding to hold a fan meeting much more comfortably than before. In the past, there was a burden that we would not be able to fill all the fan seats, but we were able to increase the seats much more than the previous fan meeting because of the formation of fandom due to the drama".

For example, Nam Ji-hyun held a 400-seat fan meeting after "100 Days My Prince" four years ago, but now she has increased the size to 700. Nam Ji-hyun will hold a solo fan meeting at 4 PM on the 26th of next month at Sungshin Women's Unjeong Green Campus Auditorium. As it is the first fan meeting in a long time since 2018, concerns may be ahead, but it is expected to be supported by fans with the decision to boldly increase the number of seats. In particular, Nam Ji-hyun has been drawing attention for her choice of works that bring together female fans. Expectations are high as the popularity of "Little Women" is expected to be directly linked to fan meetings.
