SBS's ‘You Who Came From The Stars’ has become a knockout hit and has gained a huge following all over asia, especially in China.
Heroine of mega hit drama, Jun Ji Hyun made her first public appearance in Shanghai, China, 21 March 2014.
Dressed up in a black cocktail dress and nude high-heels, Jun maintained her chic and goddess look as her role "Cheon Song Yi".
Jun also presented fried chicken and beer to fans which was Cheon`s favorite snacks in the drama. However, Jun finished her event in 6 minutes after 3 official questions from host about skin care, which broke actor Lee Min Ho`s record of showing up for only 10 minutes at a promotional event.
Some fans cried outside the site for such a short meeting after waiting 3 hours and spending hundreds of yuan on tickets and related products. And 600 fans who attended this event were also required to go though serious security clearance which took nearly 2 hours for just meeting Jun for only 6 minutes.
A superstar who rarely makes more than one movie per year, she is a model-turned-actress who has been part to several of Korea’s biggest film hits, including “My Sassy Girl,” “The Thieves,” “The Berlin File.” “Stars” is her first TV drama in 14 years.
Less comfortably, it has also put the spotlight on her ethnicity. It was back in 2007 when she controversially changed her name from the Korean-sounding Jeon Ji-hun to the more Italian-sounding Gianna Jun. But since then it has emerged that both her parents are of Chinese origin, a black mark in Korea even today, and that she was in fact born Wang Ji-hyun.
Jun initially denied having Chinese roots and does not speak much of the language, but she has more recently confirmed her origins. While that represents a stigma in Korea, it could be a big plus in an era where today China is an economic superpower.
