The Annual Philippine Kpop Convention, the first of its kind in the world, is the flagship event of The Philippine Kpop Committee, Inc.

It is recognized by local and international Korean organizations and comprised by over 60 of the biggest fan clubs in the Philippines including 2ne1PH, 2OneDay, 4minutePH, B2ST Philippines, BigBang Philippines, CNBluePH, Cassiopeia Philippines, GGPH, Primadonna Philippines, ShineeWorld PH, Shinhwa Philippines, UKissme PH, SJ United Philippines, TSPH and more! To date, PKCI has gathered over 10,000 Korean music fans to its Annual Kpop Convention.
Running on its third year this 2011, we aim to bring together fans for a day-long festival filled with entertainment, socialization and cultural activities which will further promote Korean-Filipino friendship in our country. Highlights from the event includes: the album launch of KARA’s “Step” and ZE:A’s “Exciting” by Warner Music, over P260,000 ($6,000USD) worth of prizes and giveaways; 3,000 exclusive Kpopcon giftbags, 85 fanclub booths and concessionaires; talent competitions, activity booths, games, raffles, special performances, and the most awaited 3rd Philippine Kpop Awards!
Co-presented by the Philippine’s leading telecommunication company, GLOBE Mobile Internet; in cooperation with the country’s biggest RECORD LABELS Universal Records Philippines, PolyEast Records and Warner Music Philippines; MUSIC RETAILER giants Astroplus and Odyssey Music & Video; sponsored by Asian brands like Giordano, Nature Republic, Holika Holika, Bulgogi Brothers and Kitiwit; and with MEDIA COVERAGE ranging from print, television and the international online community, the 3rd Philippine KPOP Convention is truly the biggest and the most prestigious gathering of KPOP enthusiasts in the country!
In the previous years, our beneficiary has been Gawad Kalinga. Proceeds from the 2nd Philippine Kpop Convention went to the Kalinga sa Bayan campaign particularly to fund the activities for the 2011 Bayani Challenge in Bantayan Island in Cebu. This year, we will extend our cause to animal welfare in our country through the Philippine Animal Welfare Society (PAWS).
In lieu of tickets, we ask our guests to donate a minimum of P150 ($3.50USD) to be given to our beneficiaries. We will also be accepting donations in kind during the event for the victims of the calamity in Mindanao (rice, canned goods, clothes, etc) and medical care and rehabilitation for the rescued dogs in the Illegal Dogfighting Case in Cavite (dog food, steel bowls, cleaning materials, IV line–macro drip, 3cc syringes, hydrogen peroxide, medicines such as pet/generic multivitamins, liver supplements, and other veterinary supplies). For more information on how to donate, visit the GK website and the PAWS Facebook page. Staff from both organizations will assist in the donations on Dec 30.
We encourage everyone to be a part of this event as we celebrate our passion for life, love and music! This is fandom for a cause! Happy holidays and see you all at the 3rd Philippine Kpop Convention! ^^

Organized by the Philippine KPOP Committee, Inc., the landmark of all KPOP events in the country is back and ready to make history once more!
The Philippine KPOP Convention is truly the biggest gathering of Pinoy KPOP enthusiasts. The first one in the world was held last Dec 2009 and was participated by literally thousands of screaming and happy fans. This year, it’s bound to be even bigger and much more prestigious with the theme “2010: The Year of Kpop”.
The local fan clubs, which include Cassiopeia Ph, Super Junior United Ph, Ukissme Ph, 2NE1 Ph, Wonderful Ph and Girls Generation Ph, among many others, have come together not merely to participate but to make this event a reality. More than 40 fan clubs will be represented in this epic event.
Pinoy Kpop fans can expect a lot from this annual gathering/variety show/convention. There will be contests like the 2nd Philippine KPOP Dance Battle, KPOP Kosplay Year II and the KPOP Idol Look-alike. There will also be the K-street fashion show courtesy of YesStyle.com and exclusive album launches of SNSD and JYJ from our record label partners, as well as performances from special guests such as PoinTen, ACTS Dance and Arts Company and many more! Attendees can also participate in the different activity booths of the fan clubs, join the games during the program and of course, check out the items of the many concessionaires. But one of the highlights of the event is the 2nd Philippine KPOP Awards, which should not be missed by any Kpop lover.
To those who are not in Manila, whether they may be in other parts of the Philippines or the world, they may catch the extravaganza through the live webcast onwww.flippish.com/kpopcon2 another first in Kpop history!
All proceeds of this event will go to GAWAD KALINGA, a movement that envisions to end poverty by building communities and making heroes out of ordinary Filipinos.
