South Korean actor Lee Min-ho is receiving a flood of congratulations from his fans around the world on the ninth anniversary of his debut, local media reported Monday.

Lee made his debut with the EBS teenage drama “Secret Campus” in 2006.

“Lee’s fans from every corner of the globe are celebrating his ninth anniversary by sharing congratulatory messages and holding meaningful events. We really appreciate fans’ support and the events prepared for him,” said a representative of Lee’s management agency.

His Korean fans put on “Billboard Event” six years in a row, in which they display congratulatory words and key moments from his films and TV series on billboards across Seoul in major spots like Myeong-dong, Gangnam and Sinchon.

Lee’s fans in Japan have named a street after him in downtown Tokyo while presenting congratulatory messages on the large billboards across Tokyo. They also have had some buses with posters of Lee travel around Seoul to promote his world tour.

Chinese fans are continuously making donations in his name to celebrate his anniversary ever since they made a donation for Sichuan earthquake relief.

Turkish fans conducted a paragliding performance at 2,400m above the sea level to show their love and support for Lee, according to the reports.

Lee expressed his gratitude to his fans saying, “I’m truly grateful for the fans’ love and continuous support. All these warm words mean a lot to me. I’ll repay the support I have continued to receive from my fans with good films”

Lee, 27, has most recently donated 100 million won to help the earthquake victims in Nepal in the name of his fan club “Minoz,” while participating in various charity drives through the donation platform “PMZ” which he established with his fans.
