Sharon Cuneta fangirls over anything Korean, reveals her No. 1 K-Drama actor

Published Sep 8, 2020 11:02 am

Megastar Sharon Cuneta has a big collection of K-Pop and K-Drama memorabilia that would surely make every Korean showbiz fan pink with envy.

For the first time, Cuneta showed her K-Pop and K-Drama souvenir items in one of the recent episodes of her online show on The Sharon Cuneta Network on Youtube.

“I love Korea, Korean food, K-Drama, K-Pop,” said the laughing Cuneta as she displayed tons of CDs, pillows, posters, photos, of Korean celebrities from her living room.

Korean superstars Gong Yoo, star of the blockbuster film “Train To Busan,” and Smart Communications, Inc. celebrity endorser heartthrob Hyun Bin of “Crash Landing On You” fame, are her favorite dramatic actors.

“Gusto ko si Gong Yoo …. halata naman na mahal ko siya. Pinakamahal ko ngayon si Hyun Bin. Actually hindi. Parang pantay lang sila ni Gong Yoo sa puso ko. Sumisingit pa nga si Lee Min-ho pero parang hindi ko kaya. Parang ang dami na niyang fans. Kasama pa niya ang true love niya ngayon,” Cuneta said.

Cunera, wife of Senator Kiko Pangilinan, praised the Korean musical acts SHINee and NCT as among her favorites. “I give my NCT stuff to my Miel (Pangilinan).”

“I also have all SuperM CDs. Isang version lang pero iba-iba iyong covers, di ba? Lahat ‘yun meron ako. EXO, BTS, Red Velvet, Twice, Girl’s Generation,” she said.

“Ang dami ko pong posters pero alangan naman isabit ko po sa kwarto ko. Meron na po akong asawang tao at 54 na ako. Pero bakit? There’s no age limit in being a fan of K-Pop groups or K-Drama. If they make you happy, hey you only live once.

“And I used to never understand K-Pop and K-Drama fans. Hindi ko masakyan pero walang basagan ng trip.

“And now there’s nothing I would like to do than to learn to speak Korean. So I could understand all the K-Dramas better.

“Just do what makes you happy and continue being happy and be inspired by what inspires you. Just listen to your heart. Like me I like Shinee, I like K-Pop. I love K-drama. Whatever makes you happy, Hey! One life to live, especially now may pandemya. Bakit ba naman hindi? So enjoy everyone. Whatever it is that makes you happy. Do that!” said Cuneta.
