Fans to organize The First Philippine Kpop Convention
Kpop fans are doing it again: making news as they unite for their love of the Hallyu.In celebration of the Philippines-Republic of Korea Friendship Year, Kpop fans in the Philippines will come together to organise the country’s very first Kpop Convention!
Fan power: Kpop fans in the Philippines unite!
Fan clubs of various Kpop artists are coming together for the event, which will be held in October. There will be activities for visitors, song and dance performances and contests and games at the convention.
Proceeds from the event will be donated to Gawad Kalinga, a non-profit organisation that provides homes to the less fortunate.
Apart from that, 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 Philippines-Republic of Korea Diplomatic Relations.
Kim Kie-joo, Counselor for the Korean Embassy in the Philippines was quoted as saying, “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.”
Kim added that bringing in popular Korean acts isn’t too farfetched if Pinoys boldly demand for their fave stars through surveys, blogs, signature drives, etc.
“I think if there is a great number of audience, it should be a very convincing rationale to bring them here,” Kim said.
And with that folks, our K-popped! friends in the Philippines are on a mission to see their wishes fulfilled with the humble Kpop Convention. Details of the event (Where? When? What time? What should I wear?) will be at: http://kpopcon.info/
All the best, guys. 아자 아자 화이팅!
Yo fellow Malaysias, do you think we can do something like that as well?
