South Korean actor Kim Moo-yeol is enjoying a surge in global popularity thanks to his starring role in the Netflix series 'The Sweeper.' The drama has officially entered the streaming platform's all-time top 10 most popular non-English series, securing the 10th position. This achievement marks 'The Sweeper' as the fourth South Korean series to break into the top 10, following in the footsteps of the immensely successful 'Squid Game.'

Kim Moo-yeol, who portrays Inspector 'Ro Hwa-jin' in the series, has captivated audiences with his intense gaze, sharp suits, and dynamic action sequences, embodying the 'suit thug' persona. Fans eager to see him in person will have the opportunity to attend his first fan meeting in Taiwan on September 6th. The event will be held at the Taipei International Convention Center (TICC), with ticket prices ranging from NT$2,600 to NT$5,880.

When asked about his fitness regimen, Kim Moo-yeol advocates a straightforward approach: "Just do it." He emphasizes pushing through difficult moments, whether running or lifting weights, by clearing one's mind and focusing on the action. He humorously shared his "Taiwanese food theory," declaring that "delicious food has zero calories," implying he can indulge freely during his visit. However, he quickly added that this is purely his personal opinion. All ticket holders for the fan meeting will receive benefits such as Hi-Touch, a Taipei-exclusive commemorative photo card, and a poster, with opportunities to win 1-on-1 or group photos and autographed Polaroid pictures.
