Reportedly by KBZoom, Han So Hee concluded her "2025 HAN SO HEE 1st FANMEETING WORLD TOUR [Xohee Loved Ones,]" on October 26 at Yonsei University's Main Auditorium. The event was the culmination of her four-month world tour, which had experienced several setbacks such as slow ticket sales and canceled foreign performances.

The fan gathering, touted as a celebration of Han's increasing global popularity, was supposed to serve as the grand finale of the tour. But pictures making the rounds on the internet told a different story with crowds of empty seats, particularly on the second floor.

A Daum report mentioned that "in spite of allegations of a total sellout, huge sections of the upper tier were vacant," which fueled controversy among the fans. Prices of tickets are said to have averaged ₩100,000 (around $75 USD), giving rise to rumors as to whether or not the "sold-out" state was a true representation of sales or just a marketing strategy.

The tour, which started in Bangkok during July, visited Tokyo, Taipei, Los Angeles, Hong Kong, Manila, and Jakarta. Although it attracted an estimated 15,000 fans globally, it was canceled for pre-planned events in Frankfurt, Berlin, London, Paris, and New York because of lackluster ticket sales.

Industry sources revealed to KBZoom that sales for the Seoul show only gained momentum less than a week before the show, with remaining tickets allegedly falling below 80 just six days ahead.

In her last comments, Han So Hee thanked her fans. She stated, "The love you give me is the biggest reason I can continue acting and keep going. I always want to say thank you."

She went on with feeling emotional, stating, "Although I've received so much love from many countries, today felt especially meaningful. I hope moments like these happen more often."

Han wrapped up the evening by expressing hopes for the future: "Thanks to you, I've created such a precious memory today. I'll return with even better performances in the future."

Han So Hee will also go on to pursue her acting career with future roles in "Project Y" and "Intern," solidifying her position as South Korea's most in-demand actress.
