Though he wasn’t here for the Grand Prix, South Korean actor Kim Seon-ho held his first fanmeet in Singapore on Sept 15.
Earlier that day, he posed in a few Instagram photos at East Coast Park.
The following day, fans spotted him grabbing gelato near i12 Katong at Joo Chiat Road.
A small crowd followed him to a road crossing where one asked, “Oppa, is it (the gelato) delicious?” to which Seon-ho nodded and smiled.
@ankathereen I love stoplights now! Just casually eating Gelato. Sooo lucky to see him while walking around the area. #kimseonho #kimseonhoinsingapore #kimseonhoinsg2023 #hanjipyeong
