Kim Soo Hyun's Chinese fans were upset when the fan meet was delayed by hours and as a result lasted less than an hour.

The actor traveled to Zengzhou, China, for a fan meeting but the event was delayed for three hours. He showed up at 3 p.m. but the event scheduled for 7 p.m. was delayed by 3 more hours and did not begin until 10 p.m. The event was only 20 minutes.

According to the Korean media outlet Korea Herald. the delay was due to the larger than expected turnout. The event was originally supposed to take place at a college but the organizers had not requested enough security guards. The event was moved to a nearby hotel, but the organizers did not have sufficient stage equipment.

When the actor finally did take the stage, he apologized in Chinese and cautioned them to take care of themselves because they had waited in the cold.

His fans were disappointed but from comments left online did not seem to hold it against the actor.

"Poor Soo Hyun Oppa," wrote one fan on his international fan club Facebook page. "But even though it happens he still continues the event for his fans."

Kim So Hyun is popular in China, due to his performances in the dramas "The Moon Embracing The Sun," "You Who Came From The Stars" and "Producer," as well as the films "Secretly, Greatly" and "The Thieves." He lived in Hong Kong for a few months while filming "The Thieves."

As a result of his popularity, tickets for Chinese fan events have be scalped for thousands of dollars.

Kim will soon play the leading role in a film titled "Real," which is due to start filming in January 2016. "Real" is an action thriller about an ambitious man named Jang Tae Young. Kim plays Jang Tae Young, a man who is so obsessed with success that he will let nothing and no one stand in his way. He meets a writer and she causes him to reexamine his priories. Jang Tae Young is a much darker role than Kim Soo Hyun has played in the past.
