That's too cool. Same things happen to Korean idols that visit Japan. Nice cultural exchanges!

I heard that his bag was stolen by someone in the crowd. I imagine a lot of people will have to change their email addresses and phone numbers if his phone was in it. They also never said if the fans were all Korean, or if there were a fair amount of Japanese fans mixed in.
