However, the fan signing event was soon empty, with no people coming in. Jang Keun Suk shared that people may be shy about entering and picked up a megaphone to promote the event.

I think people are shy and passing by even if they want to come. We need to open our hearts first and make them comfortable to join.

Despite his efforts, when people didn’t show up, the actor said it was because of the rain.

It’s because of the rain. If not, I’m pretty sure the line would be stretched to the street across… Did we pick the wrong date? Let’s discard all the videos and retake it!

— Jang Keun Suk

After accepting that more people would not show up, Jang Keun Suk decided to go out and hand out the rice cakes himself. He met with model and YouTuber Jenny Park, Kim Hyun Joong from the group SS501, actress Oh Yoon Ah, and others and gave them his leftover rice cakes.
