Immerse in K-culture with Ayala Malls’ Feed Your Seoul campaign
Ayala Malls is bringing South Korean culture closer to Filipinos by celebrating the best and most beloved Korean food, beauty, sports, K-pop, K-film, and more. Ongoing until the end of the year, the cultural takeover is part of the mall’s Feed Your Seoul campaign. It kickstarted with the arrival of K-Pop superstar, BamBam, for an exclusive fansign event in Ayala Center Cebu and Ayala Malls Manila Bay.
In the flesh: Say hello to BamBam! BamBam was the next KPOP idol to hold a solo fan sign event in the country. Preceded by Jung Yerin and fellow GOT7 member Young-jae, the Thai superstar didn’t just hit the streets of Manila in Ayala Malls Manila Bay. He’s also made an appearance in Ayala Center Cebu, making him the first KPOP idol to hold a solo fansign in the Queen City of the South. Given that not many South Korean artists hold events outside of Manila, Cebuanos were filled with excitement.
Manila fans shook Ayala Malls Manila Bay as they scream in delight at the various activities at the Fansign event. BamBam warmed up the crowd as he went up on stage and performed the title track from his first mini album – riBBon. He shared “I feel really good, I’ve been waiting to perform and meet you guys again.” Lucky winners also got the chance to get a 1-minute 1 on 1 time with BamBam to get their album signed, take a group photo with him, and even say their farewells during the Goodbye Session. “I hope I can have a concert in the Philippines. My next album’s concept will not be as bright, and I hope I can perform it for you.” BamBam concluded.
Time to Feed Your Seoul. It’s undeniable that K-culture is taking the world by storm. This phenomenon is also known as Hallyu—a.k.a. the Korean wave. From food to beauty, fun, and entertainment, more and more countries are getting to know the vibrant culture and its uplifting effect on people. The exciting news is coming to K-culture fans in the Philippines as Ayala Malls adopts Hallyu and introduces the best finds and activities in its nationwide locations!
Dig in on new flavors. One of the best ways to get to know a foreign culture is through the stomach. Indulge in Korean favorites like a hearty bowl of bibimbap, bulgogi, japchae kimchi stew, jjajangmyeon, tteokbokki, and a whole lot more at food festivals across different Ayala Malls.
Glow up with K-beauty. Koreans always had the best skin, thanks to their iconic 10-Step Korean Skin Care Routine.
