MANILA, Philippines – Filipino K-drama and K-pop fans, this is your chance to see your favorite South Korean stars in person!
After two years of live events being halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Philippines has now opened its doors to several foreign acts, with the country starting to host more in-person events like concerts and fan meetings.
While fan meetings might not be as performance-driven as concerts, it can also be as loud and energetic especially during the games and question-and-answer portions. Aside from its fun segments, fans have the perk of meeting their idols up close and personal, and in some cases, even pose for a photo with their favorite artist or take home a signed album or other merchandise.
