Asia's heartthrob Bae Yong-joon visited Japan last month to promote his latest TV drama "Taewangsashingi (The Four Guardian Gods of the King)." Since the premiere of the movie "April Snow" three years ago, it was his first official visit to the country where he is affectionately known as "Yonsama."

Bae and other co-stars participated in the premium event held in Osaka on June 1, attracting more than 35,000 people and keen interest from the Japanese media.
