Park’s fan meet was supposed to take place at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City and was meant to be the Manila leg of his May Your Every Day Be A Good Day Asia tour. For those who may be unfamiliar with him, he’s one of the hottest K-idols in the Philippines right now, after having starred in hit TV shows Love in The Moonlight, Reply 1988, and Encounter.
Blossom Entertainment announced today on their Facebook account that the fan meet has been moved to June 22, and will still be at the Mall of Asia.
His fans expressed support of his decision not to come to Manila for now. Twitter user @alacapa_nicole said that Filipino fans are always here to support him and will wait once he’s ready to visit the Philippines.
Thank you @BOGUMMY for being a thoughtful man and being a considerate in all things. Godbless also and take care Bo Gum! We are always here to support you and we will wait you here in Philippines!

Park’s decision to skip the Manila leg of his tour comes after a major earthquake on Monday which claimed the lives of 16 people in Luzon. This was followed by another quake in Visayas yesterday, and another today in the Davao region.
