Korean actor Park Bo-Gum, who starred in K-dramas Reply 1988, Love in the Moonlight, and his latest, Encounter was here in Manila for a fan meeting last June 22, 2019. Without a doubt, one could feel the excitement of the crowd as they waited for Park to enter the stage. The “Good Day” fan meet was supposed to be held last April 27 but was postponed due to an earthquake experienced in Manila.
After two months of waiting, fans finally got to see their Korean idol perform on the Philippine stage!

As soon as the lights were shut off, the audience went wild. Endless cheers were heard all over the arena, and immediately after, Park appeared from the LED screen split in half.

During the question and answer portion, event host Anne Curtis asked him about the three things he wants to accomplish before turning 40. The Love in the Moonlight star said he wants to get married, study abroad and act in foreign films.

He lived up to his promise by giving his fans a “good day” through his heartfelt performances. And last but definitely not least, fans had the chance to meet Park closely. They even received a letter personally written by him during the event’s hi-touch.
