The 4th Philippine KPOP Convention

HUZZAH! If you were to ask me what particular part about being on December break I would be looking forward to the most this year, I would definitely answer, without reservation or qualms,

"The 4th Philippine KPOP Convention!!!" 

-Insert incomprehensible fangirl flails here-

Yes, my dear friends, after three years of lost opportunities, misguided priorities and thus the loss of any chance of my attending the previous three Philippine Kpop Conventions, I have decided to do my very best to make it to this year's event.

Ermherhgerhhd, Ada. How could you have let those chances pass you by!?!?

Oh, 4th Philippine Kpop Convention, how may I put into perspective all the fun that I have missed these past few years and all the fun I have yet to have once I attend this year? Let me count the ways.

And thus I bring you:

Ada's impossibly long list of things she is spazzing about/most excited about in this year's Philippine Kpop Convention

1) The SHEER NUMBER of Kpop Group Fanclubs participating is ALMOST UNREAL.

And these are just the groups I fangirl most. The semi-complete list of fanclubs is actually below with the names in bold being the fanclubs I belong to *in my head*, but hopefully after Kpop Con, I'll be an official member of all of these as well!

MAJOR FANCLUBS

2NE1 PH, 4minute PH, 2Oneday PH, Beast PH, Shrine of BoA PH, Bigbang PH, Cassiopeia PH, CNBlue PH, EXO PH, Girl's Generation PH, Beyond Infinity Philippines, MBLAQ PH, Primadonna PH, SHINee World PH, Shinhwa PH, Super Junior United PH, T-ara PH, TripleS PH, Ukissme PH, Wonderful PH

MINOR FANCLUBS

A Pink PH, B.A.P PH, B1A4 PH, Boyfriend PH, Brown Eyed Girls PH, Co.Ed PH, Dal Shabet PH, Davichi PH, F.Cuz PH, Fly to the Sky Philippines, Perf(x)tion PH, G.NA PH, Girl's Day PH, GP Basic PH, Hello Venus PH, High Skool PH, Jay Effect PH, IU PH, KARA PH, Airen PH, Nine Muses PH, Nu'EST PH, Play Girlz PH, Rainbow PH, SecreTime PH, Se7enolution PH, Supernova PH, Teen Top PH, ZE:A PH, Miss-A PH, SISTAR PH

ROOKIE FANCLUBS

4MEN PH, A-LIGHT PH, Double B21 PH, Block B Club PH, Brian Joo PH, C, REAL PH, Dalmatian PH, DNT PH, F1RST PH, JJ Project PH, Lee Hyori PH, N-Train PH, Oh Wonbin PH, SeeYa PH, Shapley PH, SHU-I PH, SM the Ballad PH, The Boss PH, T-Max PH, X-Five PH

And all these clubs have each of their own special activities, merchandise sales and get-together events planned. So you see, there's a place for  everybody here at Kpop Con, and even if you aren't much of a Kpop fan, who's to say you can't appreciate the hot gals and guys that comprise the industry? Hey, half the guys and gals in love with Kpop right now were visual-baited and I'm pretty sure it wasn't necessarily their music that caught most people's eyes haha.

Yehp, definitely here for the music.

2) Speaking of hot Kpop artists, did I mention F.cuz and rookie group A.cian will be there?

Ah yes, Engrish has never been so hot. And imagine being at the same convention hall as these wonderful acts, shaking their hands, getting to see them in fanmeets and actually getting to shake their hands (wait, I said that already) - doesn't that sound positively exhilarating?

I'm especially excited to meet Kan of F.cuz. IMO he's definitely one of the more breathtaking visuals out there~ Plus, his voice is absolutely to die for.

But what if you aren't a fan of A.cian or F.cuz? No worries, no worries. The organizers have thought this one out as well.

3) There will be dozens of Kpop Look-alikes at the event @_@

"Why? How? What????", you may ask.

Well, ever since the success of last year's Kpop Look-Alike contest, the organizers have taken it upon themselves to hold one this year as well. And might I say, the prospects are ah-may-zing. Let last year's winners be a testimony of the awesomeness of what is to come. So even if your favorite artists aren't going to be there, I'm pretty sure you'll be able to find someone just as pretty, talented and with the same interests as well. What's better is they'll probably speak your own language as well haha.

And personally, if I may say so myself, if you squint really really really hard, I look just a teeny weeny bit like f(x)'s Victoria.

No? Not really? Okay :(

And if stalking pretty men and women just isn't your thing, there's always the window shopping, because

4) There will be loads of concessionaires for KOREAN MERCHANDISE

That includes CDs, clothes, food, fan merch, and did I mention FOOD?
Not to mention awesome booths by the main sponsors of the event as well:

Globe

Standard Appliance

Pond’s 

Basic House

and

Liole

5. And the best part -- in lieu of tickets, donations will be taken at the door for CHARITY!

Not only will you be having an awesome time enjoying all the events lined up, you'll also be doing organizations like GAWAD KALINGA and PAWS a huge huge huge huge favor! What's not to love?

With all that and then some, I'm pretty sure of what I'm going to be doing this December 29th from 9am to 9pm at the PICC Forums 1, 2, and 3.

How about you guys? Are you ready for the biggest Kpop Convention in the Philippines?

Keep in touch and stay in the know by liking The 4th Philippine Kpop Convention's FB Page, and by following their twitter. And for those who are just as decided as I am, SEE YOU THERE!
