  • “GOOD BOY” AND “PAPAGO” RETURN TO MANILA!

    “GOOD BOY” AND “PAPAGO” RETURN TO MANILA!

    Ovation Productions proudly brings South Korean superstar Kim Seonho back to Manila for his 2026 Asia Tour on May 31, 2026 (Sunday) at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
    Lovingly called “Good Boy” by Filipino fans following his breakout role in Start-Up, Kim Seonho continues to win hearts worldwide with his sincerity and undeniable charm.

    In 2025’s Netflix drama When Life Gives You Tangerines, his “smile and wink” wedding scene went viral globally, launching a TikTok “Smile Challenge” aegyo challenge that generated millions of views and massive engagement — even drawing international attention. He later shared that he was both surprised and grateful for the overwhelming response.

    In Netflix’s Can This Love Be Translated?, his multilingual role earned him the affectionate nickname “Papago,” highlighting his ability to transcend language barriers and connect with audiences across cultures.

    Filipino fans also remember his standout performance in the action-thriller The Childe, where he played the enigmatic “The Childe”. Though portraying a Korean character, he surprised local audiences by delivering a memorable Tagalog line: “Ngumiti ka naman d’yan, ako’ng bahala sa’yo.” The moment became a fan favorite and strengthened his special bond with the Philippines.

    The Asia Tour, which will begin in Seoul, celebrates Kim Seonho’s heartfelt connection with fans throughout the region. Manila promises an unforgettable evening of laughter, warmth, and the signature charm that defines the beloved “Good Boy.”

    The official media partner of the upcoming Kim Seonho’s “Love Factory” Asia Tour 2026 in the Philippines is Blast TV, the total entertainment streaming app that provides top-rated blockbuster movies, TV series, live TV, Anime, K-Dramas, live sports, and more.

    Ticketing details will be announced soon. For more updates about the tour visit Ovation Productions’ social media accounts and website at ovation.ph.

  • Wolf Gemora Arrives to begin Preparations for the Wolfgang Reunion Concert this February 7

    Wolf Gemora Arrives to begin Preparations for the Wolfgang Reunion Concert this February 7

    Wolf Gemora, the award winning drummer of Wolfgang is arriving this Friday, January 9 from the United States to begin rehearsals for the highly-anticipated Wolfgang Reunion Concert on February 7 at the New Frontier Theater.

    The concert is part of the band’s 30th Anniversary celebrations.

    Gemora migrated to the United States following the release and initial promotions of Wolfgang’s fifth studio album, Black Mantra in 2002, and the reunion concert will mark his first performance with the band in 23 years.

    “I’m going back to Manila,” enthused Gemora on the eve of his flight homeward. “It’s going to be four weeks of intense rehearsals for the reunion show. In the meantime, I’m going to watch my favorite local bands and eat my favorite local food.

    His other bandmates likewise could not contain their enthusiasm.

    “I have been and always will be proud of what Wolfgang has achieved through the years.  Wolf was a part of the band’s genesis so there is a lot of history there,” shared guitarist Manuel Legarda. We are going to be revisiting key portions of that history and I am thoroughly excited to be sharing that stage with Wolf after all these years.  If Mon (Legaspi, who passed away in 2022) were still around, I am sure he would feel the same way.  I’m also excited for the fans who have been wanting this reunion as well.

    Added vocalist Basti Artadi, “I’m excited to play and sing along with the fans and hopefully take them back to a time when music was the most important thing in their lives. Like a metal Oasis!”

    Gemora was part of the band’s most productive era from 1995-2001 where they released their self-titled debut album followed by Semenelin, Wurm, Serve in Silence, the live album Acoustica, and then, Black Mantra. Aside from being best-sellers, they were critically-acclaimed and nominated for music awards.

    The band continued with Francis Aquino behind the drum kit and released one more album in Villains (2008) and the mini-album Ang Bagong Dugo Sa Lumang Ugat – Unang Kabanata (2012).

    “We hope to see you at the Wolfgang Reunion Concert this February 7,” concluded Gemora in his final words before boarding his flight from Los Angeles for Manila.

    When tickets to the Wolfgang Reunion Concert presented by Ovation Productions with Blast TV as the official media partner were made available last December 8 via ticketnet.com.ph, all these seated sections quickly sold out. As of today, there are still tickets available for the VIP (standing) area closest to the stage with tickets priced AT PHP 5700.
