The dozens of reporters were also annoyed at the sudden request that they learn a couple of Korean greetings for when they met and quizzed the visitors.

In contrast to their demeanor at the airport, the Brown Eyed Girls along with singer Park Sang Min and the boyband T- Max, featuring teen idol Kim Joon, were all smiles when they finally showed up for their press conference at the New World Hotel Saigon.

Unsurprisingly, the center of attention at the press conference was Kim Joon, who has been hot property since his appearance in the Korean television series “Boy over Flowers.”

The carefully staged concert before an audience of 700 to 800 Vietnamese and Koreans went as expected.

The ebullient Brown Eyed Girls dressed in typical fashion opened the show with their recent hits “After That,” “My Style,” “You Raise Me Up,” “Love,” “Stick with You” and “Ochada.”

When T- Max followed with “Say Yes,” “I Love You” and other songs from the TV series “Boy over Flowers” and “Paradise,” desperate females tried to cross the barriers just to hold their idols’ hands.

But it was the charming Park Sang Min who stole the show and had the audience singing along and dancing in the aisles throughout his five-song set.

By winning over the crowd in such a handsome fashion, the veteran proved that there was no generation gap in music.
