The 12th Philippine K-Pop Convention, the country’s largest K-Pop fan event, is happening on Dec. 29 at Space, One Ayala in Makati City.
Now in its 12th year, the annual gathering, organized by the Philippine K-Pop Convention Inc. (PKCI) and Black Star Entertainment, is expected to draw thousands of fans to celebrate South Korean pop culture.
The event will feature performances by local artists influenced by K-Pop, including KAIA, 1st One, Bilib, New:ID, 6ENSE, and Pix!e. Highlights also include competitions such as a K-Pop dance battle, singing contest, and a cosplay competition.
Prizes range from cash to LG XBOOM speakers and gift passes, while exclusive merchandise and fan activities, including a meet-and-greet, are also planned.
Fan club booths and collectible stalls will give attendees the opportunity to meet fellow enthusiasts and purchase official merchandise.
“We’re excited to bring together K-Pop fans from all over the country again to celebrate their shared love for K-Pop,” said event president Jay Juan.
Proceeds from the event will benefit the Philippine Animal Welfare Society and The Hapag Movement, continuing PKCI’s tradition of using fan gatherings to support local charities.
Tickets are available online, and doors open at 10:00 a.m. Organizers are encouraging fans to secure their spots early, with details and updates available through the Philippine K-Pop Convention’s social media channels.
