Globe formally welcomed Korean star and #eamGoodBoy Kim Seon-ho to its family through an online fan meeting held on March 21 on the Kmmunity PH Facebook group.

Kim Seon-ho clearly enjoyed the e-fan meet to virtually interact and greet his fans in the Philippines.

The actor rose to fame through “Start-Up” and the e-fan meet was filled with references from the K-drama.

At the event, he played the traditional “sipa” and worked on several Filipino phrases like “sana mapanaginipan mo ako” (hope you dream of me) and “ang ganda ganda mo” (you are so beautiful).
His fans, the Seonhohadas, were given the chance to ask him questions including his favorite vacation spot, favorite song and favorite daily routine.

Kim Seon-ho said he wanted to go back to Cebu, a place he visited for a shooting, and said these days, he starts his day by having breakfast with his family. Lucky fans were also able to join him onscreen for games and for a virtual group photo.

“I truly am here because you guys are there. And I am feeling all the support and gratitude. I want to be able to give back all the love that I’ve received from the fans,” Kim Seon-ho said at the event.

Essaying the role of Han Ji-pyeong in “Start-Up” has sharply increased his popularity not only in Korea but in other countries including the Philippines.

Last December, he won the Rookie Award for Show and Variety for “2 Days & 1 Night” at the 2020 KBS Entertainment Awards.

On being a new member of Globe’s family, Kim Seon-ho said, "I am very pleased to be the newest part of Globe's family and I am looking forward to all our projects. While we are having this virtual fan meet now, when this is all over, I hope I can visit you guys."

“We are pleased to welcome Kim Seon-ho to the Globe family, with the same spirit of reinvention we have established with BLACKPINK. We continue to bring world-class connectivity and exciting digital experiences to our customers as a way to enable them to transform into the best version of themselves while enjoying the things they love from home,” said KD Dizon, Globe’s head of Consumer Mobile Business.

Globe has been supporting fans of K-culture since the early days of Korean Wave in the Philippines through events and communities such as Kmmunity PH.

The e-fan meeting was co-presented by Fudgee Barr, Nescafe Cafe Creations and Nescafe Creamy latte, with special thanks to Robinsons Malls, Klean Kanteen and Seoul White Korea.
