Naredo, ABS-CBN News</div>MANILA -- Towards the end of her first-ever fan meet in Manila, South Korean star Lee Hyeri allowed herself to be vulnerable.&quot;When I had this fan meeting, I was wondering, will anyone be here? Does anyone love me?&quot; said Hyeri. The question was met by a chorus of cheers and words of affirmation from her fans, who braved inclement weather on Saturday night to troop to the New Frontier Theater in Quezon City to meet Hyeri. They made their presence felt throughout the fan meet, from Hyeri&#x27;s opening number all the way to the final, emotional moments of her visit.&quot;I was really worried, because it&#x27;s raining a lot,&quot; the 31-year-old actress said after opening her fan meet by dancing to Aespa&#x27;s &quot;Whiplash.&quot; &quot;But you guys are so amazing.&quot;<div><a class="fr-green fr-strong" href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/events/2025/5/7/k-drama-star-lee-hyeri-to-hold-manila-fan-meet-in-july-1347">READ: K-drama star Lee Hyeri to hold Manila fan meet in July</a></div>Best known for her roles in &quot;Reply 1988,&quot; &quot;My Roommate Is a Gumiho,&quot; and more recently &quot;Friendly Rivalry,&quot; Hyeri&#x27;s fan meet served as a showcase not just of her dancing and acting skills, but also of her creativity and personality.&quot;From the poster to the full set-up, I was involved in every part of it,&quot; said Hyeri.The fan meet, called &quot;Welcome to Hyeri&#x27;s Studio,&quot; allowed fans a glimpse into the actress&#x27; creative mind. Hyeri envisioned a &quot;fan meeting with a theme park concept,&quot; and brought it to life with an action-packed evening that barely had a down moment. True to the &quot;theme park&quot; concept, Hyeri played makeshift arcade games and won prizes from a claw machine, but also accepted a dance challenge that saw her go back to her roots as a member of the girl group Girl&#x27;s Day. <div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1753773725771072925_Hyeri 3.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="South Korean singer and actress Lee Hyeri during her fan meet in Manila, July 27, 2025 at the New Frontier Theater in Quezon City.

Naredo, ABS-CBN News</div>Some of the loudest cheers came during the &quot;Cinema Village&quot; segment, which saw Hyeri sit down with host Denise Laurel to discuss her most memorable roles. Filipino fans were particularly invested in Hyeri&#x27;s response to a question about her role in &quot;Friendly Rivalry:&quot; &quot;If Jaeyi (Hyeri&#x27;s character) had a secret diary, what do you think she&#x27;d write on the last page?&quot;&quot;I feel like everything was actually Jaeyi&#x27;s plan,&quot; said Hyeri. &quot;So since she&#x27;s apart from Seulgi (Chung Su-bin), I feel like Jaeyi will write down how she spent her time, how is her plan on meeting Seulgi.&quot;Asked about a potential continuation of the mystery thriller series, Hyeri assured that she and her costars &quot;really want to do a Season 2.&quot;&quot;Maybe you guys can speak up,&quot; she suggested, drawing loud cheers again from the fans at the NFT. &quot;You guys have the power … I really want to do that Season 2. Let&#x27;s do it.&quot;Throughout the night, the fans also gave Hyeri a distinctly Filipino experience, particularly when they chanted &quot;iiyak na &#x27;yan&quot; when the actress got emotional, and &quot;walang uuwi&quot; towards the conclusion of the event.While holding back her tears, Hyeri repeated the phrase &quot;iiyak na &#x27;yan,&quot; to the delight of the audience. And when the fans again chanted &quot;walang uuwi,&quot; she lingered on stage.&quot;This is the best reaction ever. You guys are really not making me go home,&quot; she said.<div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1753773747872072925_Hyeri 1.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="South Korean singer and actress Lee Hyeri during her fan meet in Manila, July 27, 2025 at the New Frontier Theater in Quezon City.

Afterward, she expressed her gratitude to them for what she called an unforgettable experience.&quot;You guys were able to remind me that my worries were useless, after all, so thank you so much,&quot; said Hyeri. &quot;I will remember your facial expressions, doe-eyed gazes. I will remember it deep inside my heart.&quot;&quot;Thank you for making me the person most loved today. I&#x27;ll always wish that you guys stay healthy and happy. Let&#x27;s see each other again, okay?&quot;
