Kang departed Seoul on Jan. 10 and went on to meet fans in Tokyo on Feb. 13, São Paulo on Feb. 21, Santiago on Feb. 23, Mexico City on Feb. 27 and Osaka on March 7, spending meaningful time with local audiences at each stop.
Every show was met with thunderous cheers and warm support. Kang tailored his remarks to each city and held candid, heartfelt exchanges, filling the fan meetings with intimate moments that showcased both his appeal and stage presence.
Opening the events with a rendition of Paul Kim's "Every Day, Every Moment," Kang sampled each city's welcome foods onstage, reacting in real time, and revealed behind-the-scenes photos shot locally that captured fans' attention. The audience erupted with applause and cheers at each behind-the-scenes image shown on the screen.
In a drama-talk segment, Kang unpacked memorable scenes and on-set anecdotes, offering deeper insight into his work. Whenever he discussed projects beloved by global fans—from Extraordinary Attorney Woo and Potato Research Lab to his recent, buzzed-about turn as the devoted Crown Prince Lee Gang in The Moon Flows for Lee Gang—the response from the crowd was electric. He connected more closely with local fans through mission games and created lasting memories with selfies and handmade key-ring giveaways.
Kang also energized the room with a dance medley and closed the fan meetings with sincere performances of 10cm's "Confession" and Charlie Puth's "Up All Night," demonstrating his ability to deliver both high-energy and emotional moments. His meticulous preparation and clear affection for his fans colored each venue and helped make the O'Hour tour a moving, memorable experience.
"Even if we don't share the same language, I felt our hearts connect," Kang said. "Fans who traveled from far away gave me greater courage. I will repay them with strong projects going forward."
Kicking off in Seoul and spanning Asia and South America, the O'Hour tour reaffirmed Kang's global reach and popularity, and it has raised expectations for his upcoming work.
