Meanwhile, Park said that what she missed the most is Filipino food, particularly sinigang or Filipino stew, as she couldn’t find the same dish in her home in South Korea.
Local performers IV of Spades, DJ Tom Taus and Keiko Necesario were also featured in the event which was hosted by Penshoppe Philippines.
