"The people here are very friendly. In fact, I was surprised to have fans from Brunei who actually recognised me when we went to a photo 'shoot in Gadong. It is certainly heartwarming to know that the people here actually watch Korean movies and TV series. "I am quite impressed that such a small country has a magnificent hotel such as this one and I am very impressed with the golfing and water sports facilities," added Kim who is also a golfing enthusiast.

"I hope Brunei will host more Korean artistes so that more Korean people will get to know about the country and I am sure that the activities and hotel facilities will likely impress them," he added.
