Fans can expect a lot more when the Dream K-pop Fantasy Concert is held in the Philippines in January next year, especially that meet-and-greet events will be held.
This will be the first time that a K-pop concert in the Philippines will feature six K-pop idol groups.
The Dream K-pop Fantasy Concert, slated on Jan. 19 at the Mall of Asia concert grounds, will be headlined by nine-member Girls' Generation, EXO (EXO M and EXO K), Infinite, U-KISS, Tahiti and Tasty.
"It is the first time that Philippines will have six K-pop idols in one concert. So the fans can expect all the excitement and fun from their favorite artists," PULP Live World's Happee Sy told Bulletin Entertainment.
Sy said a special stage will be set up and there will be games and prizes for the fans.
"We have a special 'K-Pop style' extended stage to make sure all fans will be able to see their favorite artists. We have also prepared in-between games for all the fans to win prizes and special signed merchandise from the artists," she added.
The Dream K-pop Fantasy Concert, organized by Korean Media Holdings (KMH) and promoted by PULP Live World, will run from three to four hours.
In addition, Sy said meet-and-greet events are being organized for the fans.
"Yes, there are meet and greets that are being arranged with the Idols and the venues. We are also preparing lots of signed CDs to give away to their most loyal fans," she said.
The meet-and-greet events might be held a day before the K-pop concert, she added.
