Kpop fans from the Philippines have been making news as they work together for their love of the Hallyu (Korean Wave). In celebration of the Republic of Korea-Philippines Friendship Year, fans in the Philippines come together to organise the country’s very first Kpop Convention!
The convention is a fundraising event that aims to bring together fans and enthusiasts of Korean popular culture. Fan clubs of various Kpop artists are coming together for the event, which will be held in mid to late October. There will be activities for visitors, song and dance performances and contests and games at the convention.
The convention also aims to get the attention of the South Korean embassy in The Philippines. Why? Because the embassy may be bringing in Kpop stars in November for the 60th anniversary of the Republic of Korea-Philippines Diplomatic Relations.
Kim Kie-joo, Counselor for the Korean Embassy in the Philippines stated, “I'm not in a position to guarantee who we can bring. We will try our very best to bring our well-renowned Korean stars so that we can really enjoy together with the Filipino people.”
All the proceeds from the event will be donated to Gawad Kalinga, a non-profit organization that provides homes to the less fortunate.
