Boys Over Flowers star Kim Hyun Joong was in the country to promote his album, Break Down, and during his stay, he made a Pinay fan's wish come true. On August 26, at the press conference for The Face Shop, a popular Korean beauty brand he endorses, he met 74-year-old Patria Ragasa. She is such a big fan of Hyun Joong's that she and her daughter, Maria Rosario Ragasa, have been following his travels around Asia in an effort to have their photo taken with him.
Maria Rosario even wrote an open letter to the star, which has been circulating online in the past few months, in which she expressed her mother's desire to meet him up close and personal. In it, she also related how much she wanted to make things happen for her mom, who took care of Maria when she had a stroke.
Patria, who celebrated her 74th birthday on the day of the Face Shop event, finally saw her dream come to fruition when event host Grace Lee announced her daughter the winner of The Face Shop's charity auction held from August 18 to 21. Maria placed the winning bid of P100,000 for Kim Hyun Joong's autographed sports shorts and successfully got her mom a chance to have her photo taken with her idol.
Hyun Joong immediately approached the mother-and-daughter tandem after the announcement and shook hands with them. Both Maria and Patria couldn't help crying, especially after the Korean star gave them hugs. Patria was also able to present Hyun Joong with a scrapbook she made for him, and he thanked her with an embrace and a big smile.
Maria's winning bid went to the Abiertas House of Friendship, the beneficiary for The Face Shop's auction.
