Kim Seon Ho Returns to Manila for His 2026 Asia Tour
Ovation Productions announces the return of South Korean actor Kim Seon Ho to Manila for his 2026 Asia Tour. The event will take place on May 31, 2026 (Sunday) at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
Kim Seonho became widely known to Filipino audiences through his role in Start-Up, where he earned the nickname “Good Boy.” Since then, he has continued to take on a range of roles across television and film.
In 2025, he appeared in the Netflix drama When Life Gives You Tangerines. A scene from the series, which featured a brief “smile and wink,” circulated widely online and led to a TikTok trend known as the “Smile Challenge.” The clip gained significant attention, and the actor later commented that he was thankful for the response.
He also starred in Can This Love Be Translated?, where his multilingual character led fans to refer to him as “Papago.” The role highlighted his ability to work across different languages and settings.
Filipino viewers may also recognize him from the film The Childe. In one scene, he delivered a Tagalog line, “Ngumiti ka naman d’yan, ako’ng bahala sa’yo,” which was well received by local audiences.
The Asia Tour will begin in Seoul and will include stops across the region. The Manila event is part of that schedule and reflects his ongoing engagement with fans in the Philippines.
The official media partner for the “Love Factory” Asia Tour 2026 in the Philippines is Blast TV, a streaming platform that offers films, series, live TV, anime, K-dramas, and sports content.
Ticket prices range from PHP 3,500 to PHP 12,500 and are available through TicketNet. For updates. You may visit Ovation Productions’ website at ovation.ph or check their official social media accounts.
