The Philippines' first ever KPop Nation, with over 5000 attendees, made sure Filipino fans ended the year with a bang!
This highly anticipated event organized by the KFest Management opened its doors in SM Megatrade Halls 2 & 3 to KPop fans at 10 AM.
Various KPop merchandises of our favorite KPop artists were sold and the event area became busy for those who were shopping their hearts out! Booths were not only for these merchandises but there was also this so-called "Marriage Booth" where you can have a marriage certificate... and even a "you may kiss the bride/groom" part!
Hosts Jobel Gomez and Mikko Gusi pumped up the crowd for the performances that followed! Performances from different artists were present. One of which was 1:43, an all-male group, even danced to T-ara's hit, "Bo-Peep."
