Lee Chae Min turned his first Manila visit into a tapestry of heartfelt moments, woven with laughter, sincerity, and shared joy.

Bon Appétit, Your Majesty actor LEE CHAE MIN ruled Manila with charm, sincerity, and effortless warmth during his first-ever fan meeting in the Philippines. On November 23, 2025, the rising actor graced the New Frontier Theater for the 2025 LEE CHAE MIN FANMEETING TOUR ‘Chaem-into you’ in MANILA, presented by PULP Live World, VARO Entertainment, Pinnalive, and Merry Go Round, marking a memorable night that Manila CHAEMFs will treasure.

Best known for his standout role as the king in Bon Appétit, Your Majesty and his performances in High Class, Love All Play, Alchemy of Souls, Crash Course in Romance, See You in My 19th Life, Hierarchy, and Crushology 101, LEE CHAE MIN continues to prove his growing global influence. But in Manila, he showed a deeper side of himself—one that was warm, playful, emotional, and eager to give fans a night to remember.

The fan meeting opened with a breathtaking moment: the lights dimmed, then slowly brightened to reveal LEE CHAE MIN seated at a piano, dressed in a white ensemble, performing a piano version of Stay With Me from Bon Appétit, Your Majesty. He shared afterward that it was his first time receiving such overwhelming cheers while playing piano, expressing how happy he was to feel the warmth of Manila fans. “With your cheers, there’s nothing I can’t do,” he said, grateful for the energy that filled the venue.

Visiting Manila for the first time, he admitted that the first thing on his mind upon arriving was Manila CHAEMFs, and that it’s hot. But he quickly warmed up to the city and the people, telling fans, “You are more than my expectations.” He then explained the meaning behind the fan meeting title Chaem-into you: “Into you” means falling into someone, and combined with his name, it symbolizes both fans falling into him, and him falling into his fans.

The event continued with “IN TMI CHAE MIN,” a segment where fans learned more intimate details about the actor. He revealed that his favorite animal is a puppy, sharing stories about his two expressive dogs. Fashion-wise, he prefers simple monochromatic colors, with black and white dominating his small wardrobe. “I can get ready in 10 minutes,” he joked. He also mentioned that he showers immediately after schedules, listens to OSTs and ballads, and maintains his physique through a strict routine of 30-minute ab workouts six days a week paired with a disciplined diet. When asked what part of his face he likes most, he confidently answered, “My eyes,” and later shared that he hopes to one day portray roles like a lawyer or professor for his Manila fans.

Fans were also treated to “Chaemin Bank,” a nod to his year and seven months as an emcee on Music Bank with LE SSERAFIM’s Eunchae. Speaking in Tagalog, he introduced himself as “Ako po si Minnie Minnie Chaemin, Bank Manager,” which drew loud cheers. He continued joking with fans in Filipino and other local languages, proving just how game, spontaneous, and considerate he was. At one point, he even told the audience, “Getting closer to you, you look prettier,” sending the crowd into a frenzy.

The night’s energy grew even brighter during “CHAEMission,” a playful segment that perfectly showcased his quick wit and charm.

• Challenge – He successfully completed his first mission.
• Harmony – He acted out a food menu using only his body, with fans correctly guessing the Filipino classic leche flan.
• Acting – Fans had to identify the food he ate in a scene, which turned out to be samgyetang. He shared that while he isn’t a big fan of sweets, he enjoyed the macaron because it had Korean flavors and wasn’t too sweet.
• Exciting – A 60-second time limit game where he chose a fan wearing denim—matching his own outfit—for a fun round of charades.
• Memory: Tell Me Your Wish – A heart-tugging segment where he granted fans’ wishes, from selcas and birthday greetings to a hug where he teasingly asked, “Front hug or back hug?”

Between the laughter and games, fans were surprised by a heartfelt VCR showing his visit to a Tonkatsu Hotpot restaurant, following which he suddenly appeared among the crowd in a denim co-ord outfit, serenading fans up close. Manila CHAEMFs delighted in every moment—at one point even handing him a mini electric fan to beat the Manila heat.

But the most emotional moment came when fans unveiled a special fan project video. LEE CHAE MIN became visibly moved, expressing just how much the night meant to him. “The time I spent with Manila CHAEMFs today was one of the best days I can choose among the days of my life,” he reflected, promising to become a better actor and person who will never disappoint his supporters. He emphasized his gratitude again later, saying, “I’m not really sure if saying ‘I love you’ is enough, but I just really love you this much.”

To close the evening, he sang “I Find You,” from Bon Appétit, Your Majesty. “The lyrics say that no matter the time and space, I’ll make an effort to find you,” he said. “Next time we meet, I hope you’re still gonna be here. Promise? Salamat po.”

From heartfelt confessions to Tagalog phrases, spontaneous dancing, fan interactions, and emotional moments, LEE CHAE MIN delivered a fan meeting that felt personal, intimate, and unforgettable. Manila CHAEMFs responded with the same love, filling the venue with cheers, smiles, and unwavering support.

His parting message summed up the night perfectly:

“Thank you so much, and I love you all. With all your love and support, I will try my best to become the best actor. I’ll see you again.”
