Filipino fans saddened by Park Seo-joon's cancelled fan meeting

Back in September 2019, Park Seo-joon already thrilled Filipino fans when he flew in for a Bench fan meet. Since then, many have been hoping for his return. When he later signed with Smart Communications, fans eagerly anticipated a possible gathering, though plans were eventually put on hold. Still, the support for him locally has only grown stronger.

After his Bench fan meet in 2019, Park Seo-joon also became part of Smart Communications’ roster of Korean endorsers, joining Hyun Bin and Son Ye-jin.

According to PLDT Chief Revenue Officer Alfredo S. Panlilio, Smart’s partnership with top Hallyu stars like Park Seo-joon, Hyun Bin, and Son Ye-jin was meant to strengthen the brand’s connection with Filipino K-drama fans.
