After nearly six minutes, during which he casually mentioned that he was putting on weight these days, he finally made the announcement.

On the count of one, two, three, he said, “Please check out the online fan cafe!”

The name of his fan club, revealed online, is Haneul. It is a combination of “Ha” from his name and “neul,” a Korean word for “always,” meaning always be with Ha Sun-woon. The official colors are sky blue and beige ivory.
