Actor Kim Min Jae cancels his fan meeting to pay respect for the tragic death of a student at Dongduk Women's University

AKP STAFF

On June 15, actor Kim Min Jae's label Yam Yam Entertainment announced the cancellation of the upcoming fan meeting, 'Telepathy: Words I Wanted To Say, Days I Want To See You'. 

The fan meeting was originally scheduled to take place on June 17 at 6 PM KST at an auditorium at Dongduk Women's University, and would have marked Kim Min Jae's first ever in-person fan meeting. The event was also prepared as a special chance for Kim Min Jae and his fans to spend meaningful time together before the actor's upcoming military enlistment in July.

However, earlier this month on June 5, a student at Dongduk University passed away in a tragic accident, being hit by a one-ton garbage truck coming down a steep hill on campus. 

Now, in order to pay respect to the tragedy and the sorrow of fellow students, Kim Min Jae has decided to cancel his fan meeting. All ticket holders will be refunded. 

Meanwhile, Kim Min Jae is currently greeting viewers as Park Eun Tak in SBS's Fri-Sat drama 'Dr. Romantic' season 3.

I just read the report about the tragedy. R.I.P. 😢
Yes, postponing the fan meet would be best.
Happy that KMJ and his PR team have enough sensibilities to make a good call on such things.

The driver of the truck was "80-something-year-old" according to the linked report. I don't think a person that old would be allowed to drive large trucks were I live. Though based on the description - a "one-ton garbage truck" - it might have been one of those very small garbage trucks.
