Last week Sunday on Valentine’s Day, the Gentle Song Il Kook Hawaii fan club celebrated their 10th anniversary. The luncheon at Waikiki Resort Hotel with 60 of 150 club members who showed up sang songs, played games, celebrated members’ birthdays, and shared camaraderie. All in the name of their favorite actor Song Il Kook.
A handful of members got to meet Song in Korea and reminisced. What was the main difference from 10 years ago? Actor Song has gotten married and has triplets which fan members enjoyed and was well versed in the children’s name and activities on TV. Congratulations to Joanne Tachibana, president of the fan club and all her members who marked the 10th anniversary. Many more years to come!
