Kim Hee-sun Sends Letter of Encouragement to Japanese Fan

At a meeting with fans at the New Otani Hotel in Akasaka, Japan on Sunday, actress Kim Hee-sun, after hearing the story of one of her fans who wasn't able to make it to the event due to his ongoing struggle with cancer, was so touched that she sat down and wrote a reply on-the-spot. During her first official fan meeting packed with some 1,200 Japanese fans, the leader of Kim's fan club read the letter aloud in front of Kim on behalf of the fan in the midst of a bout with liver cancer.

In the letter the man said that he had wished to participate in the meeting and expressed his regret that he could not make it, as his condition had worsened. Deeply moved by the letter, Kim wrote a short letter of encouragement, wishing him good luck and a quick and full recovery, also telling him to "be brave". Every last fan applauded Kim for her heartfelt letter and it was obvious that Kim herself was emotional.

At the meeting, Kim sang the theme song of the heroine in the drama "Sad Love Story", titled "No Matter How Many Times We Have to Be Separated", while accompanying herself on the piano to the great delight of the Japanese fans in attendance.
