Plans for the KWAVE Music Festival in the Philippines
The KWAVE Music Festival in the Philippines is made possible by Badminton Asia Closing Ceremony KWAVE Music Festival Organizer, Ms. Meeyon Kim (Karry) of SDG Marketing Korea, while Show Biz Town Inc. (SBTown), as led by Mr. Geong Seong Han, and Ms. Kathleen Dy-Go of Universal Records, serves as the production partner for the event.
When asked about the difference between the KWAVE Music Festival and other music festivals in the country, the organizers highlighted that they want the fans to comfortably enjoy the event. “Just go there and enjoy, have fun.”
As the imminent music event aims to be the union of K-pop and P-pop culture, Tatang Robin also hopes to prove that Filipino artists can stand on the same spectacular stage as South Korean global acts. “I wanted to show that P-pop and OPM artists are also worth your every penny.”
Additionally, Ms. Kim proudly responded that if this event succeeds, “K-pop artists will continue to come here,” giving more chances to collaborate with Filipino artists.

The organizers also shared their plans to offer transportation assistance to fans coming from different cities to and from the venue. They will also see to it that there will be food and beverage stalls during the event. Tatang Robin wittily advised fans to not wear high heels and to wear comfortable sneakers instead. He once again reminded them that it is a music festival where all they have to do is attend and enjoy.
Meanwhile, as the biggest sportainment event in the Philippines, the Badminton Asia Closing Ceremony KWAVE Music Festival aims to break cultural walls and become one through music. With the cultural exchange of the sports spirit and music experience of both South Korean and Philippine cultures, the music event hopes to be united with music.
