    Penshoppe FanCon 2018 was an incredibly special experience

    Fans of Korean superstars, Sandara Park and Nam Joo-Hyuk flocked to the Mall of Asia Arena to attend the massive sold out Penshoppe FanCon last Sunday, July 29.

    Filipino fans waved their finger hearts proudly as global fashion retail brand Penshoppe brings not one, but two members of #TeamPenshoppe to the Philippines!

    Sandara, who started her career in the Philippines before joining now-disbanded girl group 2NE1, and Nam Joo-Hyuk, best known for his roles in Korean dramas Habaek from Bride of the Water God, Han Yi An of Who Are You School 2015, Jung Joon Hyung of Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo, Prince Baek Ah of Scarlet Heart Ryeo and Kwon Eun Taek of Cheese in the Trap graced the runway wearing Penshoppe’s pre-holiday collection.

    Prior to the event, Sandara Park and Nam Joo Hyuk got the chance to catch up with media as they answered a few questions at a press conference.

    PENSHOPPE FANCON featuring Sandara Park and Nam Joo Hyuk featured special musical performances from DJ Tom Taus, Keiko Necesario, IV of Spades and, Club Penshoppe PH (Penshoppe’s local brand ambassadors) – Khalil Ramos, Maris Racal, Ronnie Alonte and Loisa Andalio.

    And the fun did not stop there, the show also unveiled Penshoppe’s Pre-Holiday 2018 collection. A playful clash of old meets new, the collection was clearly a fashion led back-to-school range. It gave a sartorial edge that went beyond the books, remixed with sporty statement details – a new take on athletic dressing that is anything but unpolished.

    The key pieces from Penshoppe’s Pre-Holiday 2018 collection featured relaxed tailoring in comfortable silhouettes, enhanced by nostalgic, interesting textures – tartans and checks, vertical stripes, statement slogans in print, patches or tatting finish, in rich, vibrant colors. Each ensemble was a head-to-toe moment that blended effortlessness with a dose of classic ivy league details.

    Of course, PENSHOPPE FANCON featuring Sandara Park and Nam Joo Hyuk will not be complete without #TeamPenshoppe’s Sandara Park and Nam Joo Hyuk. After walking the runway, Sandara Park and Nam Joo Hyuk got the chance to interact with select audience members through fun activities. 200 lucky audience members also got the chance to meet and greet the two Korean superstars!

    “This was clearly the biggest of the year!” Jeff Bascon, Penshoppe Brand Director notes. “After we announced the event, tickets were wiped out in just 5 days! We’re ecstatic about the overwhelming support that we got from the fans. He then adds, “We share the excitement that everyone felt on seeing the two (Sandara Park and Nam Joo Hyuk) together on stage for PENSHOPPE FANCON! Thank you all for being part of PENSHOPPE FANCON featuring Sandara Park and Nam Joo Hyuk!”

  • Nam Joo Hyuk’s First Fan Meet in Manila Was A Night To Remember

    Nam Joo Hyuk’s First Fan Meet in Manila Was A Night To Remember

    It was a memorable Saturday night for Nam Joo Hyuk’s Pinoy fans.

    More than 4,000 fans gathered at the KIA Theater to catch a glimpse of the South Korean actor in the recently concluded ‘Weightlifting Fairy,’ a K-drama series on ABS-CBN.

    Nam Joo Hyuk’s first-ever fan meet in Manila was a huge success. Various programs were organized during the event and let him and his fans interact and have fun. The South Korean actor charmed fans by doing fun games with them, giving them hugs and roses, and singing songs. Screams erupted around the KIA Theatre throughout the program, especially as the actor also sang a few lines of Coldplay’s ‘Yellow’ and the audience joined in. He shared stories about his childhood and his career, sharing that he had started out as a basketball player before moving on to modeling and then to acting.

    The popularity of Nam Joo Hyuk, who also starred in Cheese in the Trap and Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo was evident with how fans crowded the whole theatre, trying to take a photo of him, getting his attention using creative homemade banners and cards. He appeared to be rather shy and during the interview portions, where he said that he was pleasantly surprised by the number of fans who came to see him for this event.

    During the event, the actor recreated scenes from his recent drama The Bride of Habaek, in which he played a charismatic Water God. He also made gimbap (seaweed rice rolls) for his fans. The crowd went wild while Oppa Joo Hyuk took his time to answer the question “What is your charm?” His answer was his height. Most the fans is screaming that it’s his eyes, while some screamed “abs!!!”, and others yelled “smileeeee”.

    Touched by the fans, the actor shed tears, promising to be back. We don’t know when, but we certainly hope he wouldn’t make us wait too long. After all, we are still trying to cope with the withdrawal symptoms of not seeing him after his fan meeting last weekend. “I will say goodbye here with my last performance and I hope we’ll be happier when we meet again.” Joo Hyuk ended the night with a song called ‘Baekya’ (White Night) by Zitten.

    Nam Joo Hyuk shared that he is in the midst of preparing for a new drama and hope everybody will anticipate it. Fans of Nam Joo Hyuk do stay tune for his upcoming works! The Water God promised to be back in Manila, and then the fans went wild and crazy in love with him,truly this man is “suwweeeg.”
