When Lee Jun-ho finally arrived in South Korea after concluding his performance in the Arena Tour Mata Aeruhi, he was welcomed by a huge crowd at Gimpo International Airport. While he was guarded by two bodyguards, many fans felt it was not enough and that Lee Jun-ho's agency should hire more security for him.
As he arrived at the airport, the idol waved at fans and continued bowing, a form of respect in Korean culture. At one point, he asked the crowd to look out for a kid who seemed to be at a risk of getting hurt. Later, the actor walked slowly to his car, and fans observed that he looked very tired.
Despite the exhaustion, however, the idol did not forget to wave back at fans right until the moment he entered the car. This caring gesture left fans emotional and they took to social media to talk about the same.
Meanwhile, Lee Jun-ho has gained a massive fan following with the hit Netflix series King The Land, where he played the role of a wealthy CEO, Go Won. Go Won, the successor of the King Group, is known for his distaste for insincere smiles. With his exceptional intellect, grace, and captivating charm, he effortlessly draws people's attention.
