The original 'Hallyu prince', actor Ryu Shi Won, proved that his popularity in Japan is as strong as ever by bringing together 3,000 fans for an event celebrating the release of his 8th Japanese album, "Donna Toki Mo". The event was special in that it was also his 39th birthday on October 6th. "Donna Toki Mo" is Ryu Shi Won's first album release since his transfer to avex Entertainment. 39 fans were chosen to receive hugs from the star through a lottery system on site. The actor commented, "'Donna Toki Mo' means 'Whenever' in Korean. I produced this album to thank my fans for always being there for me, from my debut days til now. I'm grateful for your support." Ryu Si Won will be starting his eight-city nationwide tour in November. [gallery link="file" order="DESC" columns="4"] Source + Photos: Sports Chosun
