Fan meets to attend to this November

WE’RE now down to the last two months of 2023, but there are still a lot of events awaiting Filipino fans.

Many international artists came to the country in the previous months to perform and meet their fans, and November is no different. 

Among the events that are lined up for this month is the “K-Blast Epic Party” on November 24, which will be attended by two former members of K-pop girl group 2NE1– Minzy and Park Bom.

Suho of K-pop boy group EXO, South Korean singer-songwriter Seori, Korean indie folk duo MeloMance, and three-member Korean indie band wave to earth are also set to participate in the On Music Festival on November 3. They will be joined by Filipino acts such as OPM singers Moira dela Torre and Darren.

But aside from these live music performances, Pinoy fans are also looking forward to interacting more with their idols through fan meetings.

This event offers fans and their favorite artist a close interaction with one another by playing various games, posing for a photo together, and participating in the goodbye session, which is among the benefits that fans may have access to based on their ticket tiers.

If you missed the news, here are the international artists who are set to visit Manila for a fan meet:

Mackenyu

It was announced in September that “One Piece” satr Mackenyu will headline the upcoming Manila Pop Culture Convention (ManiPopCon) at the Ayala Malls Manila Bay.
