In the recently concluded Bohol K-pop Convention 2023: Gateway to the K-Circle on January 6, 2024, at BQ Mall Atrium, Jagna-based K-Pop cover group HESTIA won the grand prize and will be Bohol's representative for the Philippine Finals in Manila this February 18, 2024.
HESTIA bested eight other groups and won the Best Female Dance Performance and Best Female Group awards with their cover of Baby Monsters' debut song "Batter Up".
The event aims to allow all Boholanos to showcase their skills and talents, as well as their passion for K-pop. The event also aims to strengthen the influence of Korea and Korean pop to the general public.
