: Filipinos Obsessed with Kpop

: Now before we delve deep on our topic, “Filipinos Obsessed with Kpop, we will first
analyze the roots and birth of K-pop itself.
: Did you know?

: It’s a Sunday afternoon, and I’m standing in a sea of colorful lights, surrounded by people
chanting “nega che chalaga” in unison. By now, the 2NE1 mantra, which means “I am the
best” has been tattooed into my being. At this moment, I feel like my skin is clear, my bills
are paid, and the country isn’t in ruins.
: Witnessing an act of unity and shared love for a common thing tends to make a person
feel unstoppable. This is the effect of Kpop Con, the biggest and longest-running fan-
organized gathering of K-pop fans in the Philippines. Now on its 10th year, the convention
is a mecca for Philippine K-Pop fans. It’s organized by The Philippine Kpop Convention,
Inc., a non-profit organization dedicated to bringing local fan clubs together.

: Fans flock to the annual event to buy all the albums and merch that aren’t available in
local stores. And of course to have a good time with fellow fans. For me, a stan two years
into multifandom, it was an effort to understand the community more.

: And what better way to educate my self than by going back to where it all started? So
off we went, writer and photographer (a baby EXO stan, converted only two months ago)
with one mission: to learn as much as we could about K-Pop in the Philippines — and
also maybe cop some merch while we were there.

: In a series of videos shown during the convention, one of the founders, host Kring
Eleanzano Kim, spoke about the history of K-Pop in the Philippines. She explained that
the years 2008 and 2009 saw an increased interest in the industry, a fact we owe to
former Star Circle quest runner-up Sandara Park’s debut in 2NE1 and the dangerously
catchy Nobody by Wonder Girls taking over the airwaves.

: It was around that time that Kring and her close friend, Mishi Camaya, both members of
Cassiopeia (the TVXQ Philippine fanclub) saw the opportunity to gather others with the
same interest.

: “This was 2009, and watching concerts in the Philippines was unheard of at that time.
We only had gatherings,” says Kring. And so the idea for Kpop Con was born from a
question posed by Mishi: “How about we gather the fan clubs in the Philippines and do
something similar to a comic convention, or toy convention?”
: From there, they contacted other fan clubs asking if they wanted to participate,
eventually getting 12 of them to agree and mounting the first ever KPop Con during the
early days of the Hallyu wave, harbored in by groups like Super Junior, Wonder Girls,
Shinee, Girls Generation, 2NE1, and Big Bang.
