Last Sunday, January 14, Asia's No. 1 star Jay Chou was at Samaritaine for an exclusive meeting with 200 randomly selected fans, following his outstanding performance at the Paris La Défense Arena the previous day. This was an eagerly-awaited concert in France with tickets selling out in record time.

Jay Chou invited guests to join him for this fun and engaging event at Voyage, on the 5th floor of La Samaritaine. What was in store for them? A talk by the artist, quizzes for fans with surprises lined up for the winners, blind tests, and a contest for the best "story with Jay Chou."

After these precious hours with Jay in person, the lucky few left the event with a bunch of amazing memories.

"I'm thrilled to be back at Samaritaine to meet up with my fans. This is a unique experience to share with them in such a fantastic setting. I’ve got very strong ties with France and Paris, where I’ve already shot two videos."
