Get ready to immerse yourself in the vibrant world of Korean culture as the Korean Cultural Center in the Philippines (KCC) proudly presents the highly anticipated “K-Culture Next Door: 2024 Korea Festival”! This year, the festival returns bigger and better, spanning two exciting locations: SM Mall of Asia Music Hall on May 4-5 and SM Seaside City Cebu, the Mountain Wing Atrium and Skyhall on June 15-16.
As we continue celebrating 75 years of friendship between Korea and the Philippines, the theme "K-Culture Next Door" symbolizes the close connection between our two nations! Just like neighbors who are a ‘doorbell’ away, Korea and the Philippines influenced and supported each other through cultural exchange and interaction between people throughout the years.
Prepare to be mesmerized as we bring Korea's top indie rock sensation, Jannabi, to the Manila leg's opening ceremony happening on May 4.
In the light of 75 years, there are also traditional Filipino performers who will grace the stage.! The doors are also open for Filipino individual and group performers, as we launched the "Mini K-pop Busking Concert" to showcase Filipino talents while embracing their love for K-culture.
