Fans were thrilled when news of the fanmeeting tour broke—especially since it marked Lee MinHo’s first event of this kind since 2016. Fueled by anticipation to finally see their idol up close, tickets—especially VIP passes—were snapped up in record time. It’s no surprise, considering the exclusive perks that came with VIP ticket: a limited-edition photocard, a signed poster, a chance to win a group photo with Lee MinHo himself and a brief but unforgettable Hi-Bye session.
The MINHOVERSE fanmeeting kicked off with Lee MinHo serenading the crowd with his angelic voice, performing his 2015 single, "I Love You".

One of the most memorable moments of the fanmeeting was the interactive game segment, where three lucky fans were invited on stage to play with Lee MinHo. The first game was a classic Filipino children’s game, Tumbang Preso. In this game, two fans faced off against him, who had never played it before.
Despite being a newcomer to the game, the actor showed impressive skill by knocking down two cans with a pair of slippers, while the fans managed to hit just one each out of three. The second game brought even more excitement and laughter as the actor and one lucky fan teamed up for a competitive round of "Pop the Balloon." The duo worked side by side (literally!) popping balloons, which made the entire arena screaming with envy and excitement. The air was filled with joy, laughter, and a bit of playful jealousy as fans watched their fellow MINOZ have the ultimate experience—up close and personal with their idol. It was a moment of pure fun, cementing the night as one filled with lighthearted competition and unforgettable memories. And of course, each of the three lucky MINOZ was treated to a warm, tight hug from the actor himself. It was a moment that many fans could only dream of!
The evening was also a nostalgic trip down memory lane as fans celebrated Lee MinHo’s legendary K-drama roles. The cheers were deafening as they showed their love for Go Jun Pyo from Boys Over Flowers and Kim Tan from The Heirs, proving just how deeply these roles have left an impact on Filipino audiences. The crowd also showered love on Lee MinHo's more recent series, When The Stars Gossip. The actor revealed that this role was especially close to his heart, describing it as his most mature and emotionally poignant performance. He even shared that the series' final scene stood out as his all-time favorite, making it a truly special project in his career.

He brought the evening to a heartfelt close by serenading his fans with two beautiful songs, "Always" and "Good Night Good Dream". These soft, soothing tracks perfectly captured the intimate and emotional atmosphere of the night, leaving a lasting impression on his devoted MINOZ. As he bid farewell and left the stage, the arena was filled with waves of love and admiration, with fans showering him with cheers, applause, and heartfelt messages. This outpouring of affection was a powerful reminder of the unwavering dedication his fans have for him. It was clear from the moment that Lee MinHo stepped off the stage that his bond with MINOZ is unbreakable—and as they continue to support him, there’s no doubt they’ll be cheering him on through every new project and milestone in his career.
