The upcoming drama ‘City Conquest‘ is scheduled to hold a press conference in Japan.
Scheduled for 7PM on October 4th at Japan’s famous venue, Budokan, the large-scale showcase event will host nearly 16,000 Japanese fans along with an estimated 400 reporters from media outlets such as NHK, TBS, and FujiTV.
In particular, television station NHK has assigned a ‘documentary team’ just for the drama, proving that the drama starring Kim Hyun Joong is attracting considerable attention.
The press conference will include appearances by Kim Hyun Joong himself, co-star Jung Yu Mi, and other drama representatives. Special promotional footage will also be revealed during the event.
In addition, the showcase event will also include the 1 year anniversary celebration of Kim Hyun Joong’s fan club.
Meanwhile, the upcoming press conference is prospected to help ‘warm up’ the currently chilly relationship between South Korea and Japan, all the while playing a part in further spreading Hallyu culture.

Dear hyunjoong love, hoping & praying the best for your coming drama! I feel nervous & yet excited for the coming event. Nervous coz if there really is going to be 400 media people, then I pray the drama will be a wonderful success ^^^ 16 000 fans for a press conference is, well really unique, isn't it? Hope the Japanese fans will come out in droves to support him ^^^ Hyunjoong Hwaiting!
16,000 is plenty, but doable, knowing Hyun Jung's stature. Heat was no. 1. I just realized that Saitama arena was filled with some 30,000 fans multiplied by 2 days; assuming there were avid supporters who also watched on the second day, there should still be at least 50,000 people, if not more, who watched. That is no small feat. No wonder City Conquest is premiering in Japan, and no wonder NHK has fielded a team to do the feature. Kudos to Key East and his handlers in Japan, and to HJL himself, who all worked hard to make this happen.
