UPSIZE PH | Kim Seon-ho meets Filipino fans in online event

Kim Seon-ho's character may not have gotten the girl in "Start-Up" but he captured the hearts of PH Seonhohadas during the e-fan meet hosted by Globe via the Kmmunity PH Facebook group last March 21.

The fan meet also served as Kim Seon-ho's official welcome to the Globe family.

The e-fan meet was filled with references from "Start-Up," with Kim Seon-ho playing Filipino games like sipa and fun treats given away to fans. Kim Seon-ho gamely worked on several Filipino phrases like “sana mapanaginipan mo ako” (hope you dream of me) or “ang ganda ganda mo” (you are so beautiful), and made serious effort to guess Filipino translations of English phrases such as his on-screen moniker “Dimple Prince” which in Filipino is “Prinsipe ng Biloy."

Seonhohadas also got to ask the actor questions. He mentioned that he wanted to go back to Cebu, where he had fond memories from his last visit and that these days, he starts his day having breakfast with his family.

“I am here because you guys are there. And I am feeling all the support and gratitude. I want to be able to give back all the love that I’ve received from the fans,” said Kim Seon-ho.

Kim Seon-ho has also starred in "Welcome to Waikiki 2," "Two Cops," "100 Days My Prince" and "Strongest Deliveryman," which won for him the best new actor award at the 36th MBC Drama Awards.

On being part of Globe’s family, Kim Seon-ho said, "I am very pleased to be the newest member of Globe's family and I am looking forward to all our projects. While we are having this virtual fan meet now, when this is all over, I hope I can visit you guys."

"We are pleased to welcome Kim Seon Ho to the Globe family, with the same spirit of reinvention we have established with BLACKPINK. We continue to bring world-class connectivity and exciting digital experiences to our customers as a way to enable them to transform into the best version of themselves while enjoying the things they love from home,” said KD Dizon, Globe’s Head of Consumer Mobile Business.
