Korean rock band CNBLUE’s frontman Jung Yong-hwa and actress Park Shin-hye will co-host a fan meeting in Japan to promote their series “Heartstrings,” both their agencies confirmed on Wednesday.
Ahead of the show’s premiere on Japan’s Fuji TV beginning July 9, Jung and Park will be in the country to run two sets of meet-and-greets for “Heartstrings” at the Tokyo International Forum on July 16.
The two stars will screen several scenes from “Heartstrings,” hold a question and answer session and other various events during the event.
“Heartstrings,” helmed by producer Pyo Min-soo, tells the story of people in their twenties and thirties that attend a performing arts school.
Park played the role of Lee Kyu-won, who is studying Korean traditional music and an expert at playing Gayageum, a traditional Korean harp. He later falls in love with Lee Shin (Jung), the lead singer of a band named “The Stupid.”
The pair’s show created a buzz after it was pre-sold to eight countries including Japan, China, Hong Kong, the Philippines and North America.
The show, which co-stars CNBLUE member Kang Min-hyuk, Song Chang-eui and So E-hyun, brought in ratings between eight and nine percent during its two-month run on MBC between June and August in 2011.

I miss heartstrings and Lee Shin/Lee Gyun. Although I am enjoying PSH’s new drama and thought that I put HS behind….finally but watching HS clip on a program reminded me once again of the fact that this drama is special and nothing can take its place for me as my favorite for one of the best OST’s and the chemistry between them. I went on to watch the whole drama once again. Wonder if we will see you both in a project again…..

So happy this is finally happening. I was wondering forever whether “Heartstrings” had aired in Japan or not because I never heard anything about a fanmeet. I was totally looking forward to a fanmeet happening in Japan as soon as it was announced Yonghwa and PSH were doing “Heartstrings”. Hope there’s lots of fancams and news footage on all the entertainment shows. Wishing “Heartstrings” much success in Japan.

I’ve watched full episodes of “Heartstrings” twice and it was really good! It teaches lots of values, with slight comedy and full of emotions! Every episode has something unique to offer. It deals straight to the heart. It made me laugh and cry, sometimes angry, or sad as well as pity and sympathy. Two thumbs up! How I wish my kids can play musical instruments the way these people did. Music heals the broken soul!

I like this show alot even though the ratings in Korea wasn’t that good. I especially love the OST and Yong Hwa’s composition, Because I Miss You. Hope it gets good ratings in Japan.
