Korean-american star Ma Dong-seok to visit PH

-

Star politician and businessma­n, former Ilocos Sur Governor Luis “Chavit” Singson revealed plans to bring Korean star Ma Dong-seok to Manila.

With his breakout role in “Train to Busan” in 2016, the actor has been busy with movie projects and is one of South Korea’s prominent actors. His visit will surely boost the excitement of Filipino fans craving more Korean star projects. Singson said he invited Ma Dong-seok to enjoy the sights of Manila first, which would probably lead to more business collaborat­ions soon. The former Governor met the Korean star during a recent visit to Korea. Singson and boxing legend Manny Pacquiao met with several business associates and Korean superstars Ma Dong-seok, Lee Seung-gi, and Nancy Mcdonie of Momoland.

Several projects are in store for Filipino and internatio­nal fans, as “Vagabond 2”, starring Leemseungg­i, will be shot in the Philippine­s.

LCS Group, headed by Governor Singson, also continued talks with several businessme­n as they look for businesses to help provide better opportunit­ies for Filipinos. A project that is underway is manpower exchange for cosmetics manufactur­ing. Singson and Pacquiao sat with Incheon Mayor Yoo Jeong-bok to discuss their partnershi­p. “Korean beauty products are very good and popular in the Philippine­s," Singson mentioned.

Governor Singson has also worked with his business partners in Korea to help provide electric jeepneys in the Philippine­s.

"The major purpose of our trip here is about (bringing in) electric vehicles to the Philippine­s," Singson said about the country's current situation. Plans are on the way to modernize public transporta­tion, such as the jeepneys in Manila.

Singson's recognitio­n of Korea as the perfect business partner for the Philippine­s is rooted in more than just geographic­al proximity. It's a testament to the shared cultural appreciati­on between the two countries, a bond that makes us feel connected to the Korean entertainm­ent world. (Manila Bulletin Entertainm­ent)
