Happee Sy-Go of Pulp Live World said “Ripples for Hope” was held to spread goodness and happiness.

“I always believe whatever we do impacts the world. The concept of cause and effect is real and it is something we can easily take for granted,” she told Manila Bulletin.

Happee, one of the key figures in bringing K-pop acts to the Philippines including BTS, Super Junior, Treasure, Big Bang, EXO, added, “If you throw a little pebble into a small pond you will see how the ripples will finally reach across the entire circumference of the pond.”

“I believe if we each contribute a small pebble of goodness into our collective pond... our world... these ripples of goodness will generate hope. And from hope... happiness,” she said.

According to her, “‘Ripples for Hope’ is about remembering to exert an effort to spread goodness, to cultivate hope and to bring happiness into our lives.”

EVERGLOW

When night came, K-pop groups Momoland, Everglow and AKMU held a show and awarded the winners of the games.

Everglow opened the show and performed “La Di Da,” “Adios,” “Dun Dun” and “Pirate.”
