IN PHOTOS: NCT Dream, NOIR, and APRIL at the K-Pop Friendship Concert in Manila

The concert is a celebration of the diplomatic relations of South Korea and the Philippines.

It has been 70 years since the establishment of diplomatic ties between the Philippines and South Korea. Since then, the two countries have always had a connection that goes far beyond just military assistance, especially with the growing popularity of Korean drama and music here in the country. 

To celebrate that friendship, the Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism organized the  2019 K-Pop Friendship Concert in Manila, a show that celebrates the culture and music of the two countries. The show, which happened last night, March 7 at the Mall of Asia Arena featured K-pop groups NCT Dream, APRIL, and Noir, and Filipino act Silent Sanctuary
