Actor Ryu Jun-yeol was greeted by a 3,200-strong crowd at his first fan meeting Saturday.

The 29-year-old actor “had an unforgettable time with fans” at the Yonsei University Main Auditorium in Seoul, his agency C-Jes Entertainment said.

After singing “Old Song” by ballad singer Kim Dong-ryul, he received a large cake -- as big as himself -- and danced in response to fans’ request.

“Normally, I never sing or dance, but I am here to make my fans’ wishes come true. I am determined to become a gift for fans,” he said.

Wreaths were sent by fans from Korea, Thailand, Taiwan, Indonesia and Hong Kong to signify the various donations -- bags of rice, food and bicycles -- made by them in Ryu's name.

Ryu during the fan meeting played games with fans and read handwritten letters from fans and his father, which made him burst into tears.

Ryu’s global stardom came on the heels of his breakthrough role of Jung-hwan in TV series “Reply 1988.”

After the series wrapped up, he starred in a homegrown film “One Way Trip” released in Korea in March 23, and is currently shooting the forthcoming flick “The King” since February.

Ryu will costar with actress Hwang Jung-eum in MBC’s webtoon-based rom-com TV series “Lucky Romance” starting May.
