MODERN-DAY INDIE PUNK ROCK HEROES TURNOVER WILL END AUGUST WITH A CONCERT IN THE PHILIPPINES!
Pop punk and indie rock both have certainly come a long way and evolved into more inclusive and musically adventurous genres and without a doubt, Virginia Beach natives TURNOVER are definitely one of the biggest names in the underground scene that are among the catalysts of this evolution.
And Filipino fans know it, which is why they will be excited to know that the band – consisting of vocalist Austin Getz, bassist Danny Dempsey, guitarist Nick Rayfield and drummer Casey Getz – will be returning to our shores, as part of their Asia Tour 2023. Truly, both longtime followers and fans of underground music with dream-pop, shoegaze, and emo sensibilities know that this is the event specifically for them!
The event is produced by PULP LIVE WORLD and co-presented by Skesh Entertainment and will be held at the Skydome, SM City North Edsa. Gates will open at 6 p.m. and the show starts at 8 p.m.
Formed in 2009, Turnover’s beginnings were mainly rooted with the release of their self-titled EP in 2011, and a split single release the following year with contemporaries Citizen – but like any other underground/indie rock band, found its true strength in performing live and touring, both with fellow rising stars and established names in the scene, including Angel Dust, Blind Justice, Turnstile and New Found Glory. Though the tours were initially in the United States, Turnover began extending their reach with subsequent rounds in the United Kingdom and ultimately, in Southeast Asia.
To date, the band has five full-length albums under its collective belt, namely: their 2013 emo/pop-punk-inspired debut Magnolia, 2015’s Peripheral Vision (which sonically switched to dream-pop…), 2017’s Good Nature (which Alternative Press cited to be among the year’s most anticipated albums…), 2019’s Altogether and their most recent 2022 outing Myself In The Way.
Tickets to see Turnover: Live in Manila go on sale this August 5th for *PHP2,950.00 and will be available via SM Tickets outlets nationwide, and/or can be purchased online via smtickets.com. For more information and updates, interested parties can log on to pulp.ph. See you in the pit!

Manila, Philippines— NYMA, the premier talent management arm of KROMA Entertainment, is thrilled to announce exciting additions to its roster: Christian Bautista, Eric Nam, Jamie Miller, Abi Marquez, and Lester “Buji” Babiera. Each one brings their distinct talent and diverse audiences, building up NYMA as a fast-rising agency in the entertainment industry.
Christian Bautista is a singer, actor, host and model with an illustrious career spanning two decades. His multi-platinum self-titled album propelled him to OPM stardom, with unforgettable hits like “The Way You Look at Me,” “Colour Everywhere,” and “Hands to Heaven.” Beyond his massive success in the Philippines, Christian has established a devoted fanbase in Southeast Asian countries such as Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand. He was cast in the international series “The Kitchen Musical,” which aired in 12 countries, and has taken on lead roles in musicals such as “West Side Story” and “Rama Hari.” Christian’s enduring presence in the industry is a testament to his remarkable talent and ability to charm audiences across borders. He will be co-managed with The Stages Group.
Abi Marquez, also known as Lumpia Kween, has quickly risen to become one of the Philippines’ most popular food content creators. Debuting in 2022, she has gained a significant following of over 2.8 million on TikTok alone, with her videos amassing over 689 million plays. Her frequent appearances as a guest on FEATR, one of the top food and travel YouTube channels in the Philippines, participation as the sole Filipino food content creator speaker at META Singapore 2022, and recent video with Andy Hearnden (@andy_cooks on TikTok), have further cemented her status in the food scene. As NYMA’s exclusive talent, Abi Marquez is expected to attract viewers with even more delectable and mouthwatering dishes.
Lester “Buji” Babiera is an iconic online meme who has been featured on national TV three times in his life—from the “mahiligmag-Facebook” student in 2011 to a “saksi” who witnessed a road crash, and a “cycling advocate” in 2022. Founder of the First Bike Ridecycling community, Buji believes that there will be better roads if everyone rides a bike. To add to his Internet fame, Buji is a rising TikTok star (he just reached his 1.2M follower milestone!) who tells all sorts of stories on the platform. With a new road ahead of him in the entertainment industry, Buji is eager for his next ride as NYMA’s exclusive talent.
Short for “Now You Must Aspire,” NYMA aims to revolutionize the industry by nurturing trailblazers to break through all media spaces. Originally envisioned to bring Filipino entertainment to the world, NYMA has grown to represent global talent in the Philippines. Partnering with EN Management, an independent management and entertainment company founded by Eddie Nam and home to numerous global talent, NYMA has successfully signed two of today’s biggest global musical celebrities— K-Pop superstar Eric Nam and pop singer-songwriter Jamie Miller.

Jamie Miller, currently based in Los Angeles, has gained significant acclaim for his song “Here’s Your Perfect” and as the opening act for Jesse McCartney and Calum Scott’s world tours. With over one billion global streams across digital streaming platforms and a new hit single “Maybe Next Time” (racking up 15M+ views on TikTok and 1.5M+ streams within the first few days of its release), Jamie has come so far since his third-place finish on “The Voice UK” in 2017. Driven by his immense love for his Filipino admirers and appreciation for Filipino talent, Jamie has performed with Asia’s Phoenix Morissette, released a remixed version of his latest single with Moira Dela Torre in partnership with Universal Music Group, and openly expressed his wish to collaborate with SB19’s Stell.
Christian, Eric, Jamie, Abi, and Buji join an impressive lineup of NYMA talents, including actress and K-content queen Kristel Fulgar, visionary founder of Home Buddies “Mayora” Frances Lim Cabatuando, and visual artist and content creator Raco Ruiz.
“To witness the incredible growth of NYMA in just 1.5 years has been nothing short of amazing,” shares Kat Bautista, Head of NYMA. “NYMA represents a vision—for artists to aspire and realize their dreams, for the world to get to know Filipino talent, and to expand opportunities for great international talents to connect with their Filipino fans. I am proud of what we have built and honored that these artists and their respective managements have chosen to collaborate with us.”

The Kim Mo-mi character on the Korean-produced show is played by three different actors: Ko Hyun-jang, Nana, and a newcomer whose name hasn’t been released yet. Each actor contributes a unique shade to this character as she transforms throughout the series.

Kim Mo-Mi: Forced to live three lives under three different names, – Kim Mo-Mi, the corporate employee Showgirl A-reum, and Prisoner Number 1047 – she becomes this enigmatic character who relishes the applause and adoration of her online audience, even as her life off-camera is filled with unhappiness due to her complex appearance. An unforeseen incident triggers her transformation into a murderer, adding yet another identity to her tumultuous life.
Ju Oh-Nam: Played by Ahn Jae-hong, he is an office worker whose only pleasure is watching internet broadcasts after work. When he realizes Mask Girl is his co-worker Kim Mo-Mi, he develops a fixation that takes over his life. Ahn describes his character as “a company employee who wants to erase his presence during the day, and to show his presence in his own world at night.” The actor focused on depicting “a man’s heart that started with the wrong direction right from the beginning,” raising anticipation for his portrayal of the character’s hidden depths.
Kim Kyung-Ja: Portrayed by Yeom Hye-ran from The Glory, she is a mother whose entire world revolves around her son. When her son goes missing, she begins a relentless pursuit to find him. Yeom says: “I hoped that Kim Kyung-Ja’s revenge would not be motivated only by her motherhood.I wanted to include various complex conflicts originating from her age, religion, and other beliefs, and I had many discussions about these conflicts, which arise as she rushes towards a large and clear goal called revenge.” Her nuanced analysis has sparked curiosity about the character.
“Mask Girl” was written and directed by Kim Yong-Hoon, and it was produced by House of Impression and Bonfactory (respectively owned by CJ ENM and Fifth Season). He calls the three protagonists “injured, marginalized individuals,” all of whom are caught up in a murder plot.
With its layered characters and intricate plot, Mask Girl is set to redefine mystery-thrillers. Prepare to unmask the truth of Mask Girl, beginning August 18, only on Netflix.
