With the growing Filipino-Korean ties that led to Filipinos fondness for K-Drama in the midst of the pandemic, one actor took the extra mile to partner with the Korean Cultural Center in the Philippines to send some message of upliftment.
Korean actor Jung Kyung-ho, who played the role of Kim Jun-wan in the celebrated, lighthearted drama “Hospital Playlist” recognized the effort of the Filipino frontliners.
“First of all, I really appreciate all of your support on Hospital Playlist. It’s so nice to greet and meet you all,” he said.
The actor, who sent a message of healing as part of KCC’s K-Healing: Overcome Together Mini Concert, felt for those who are making sacrifices—whether big or small—for the safety of the Filipino community.
“I heard that the medical staff and the other frontliners in the Philippines are also suffering a lot from the pandemic. Although this is a short message, I sincerely hope that this will give you the courage and comfort [that you need],” he added.
In the end, he offered an assurance to the Filipinos that the pandemic will soon be over.
“We are going through hard times together. I, together with the Korean Cultural Center in the Philippines, will cheer for your bright future! Kaya natin ito!” he ended.
