K-Pop entertainment on SKYcable

The Philippine Star

MANILA, Philippines - After Meteor Garden became a TV phenomenon in every Filipino household back in 2003, a surge of other Asian novelas swept our TV screens leading to the rise in popularity of Korean dramas. The hallyu or Korean Wave has since then invaded Philippine pop culture with more than 100 Korean dramas aired in the country since 2003. Viewers just can’t seem to get enough of these programs that even local remakes of top Korean hits gained following.

The swift yet steady rise of this wave has made an impact to Filipino individuals and various fan groups who dedicate their time and devotion over Korean Popular (K-Pop) music, novelas, young artists, and many others. Now, subscribers can experience the best of Korean drama, reality TV and pop culture 24/7 on SKYcable. Enjoy rich Korean content with a diverse offering of Korean entertainment.
