The wait is finally over for all the K-Pop and K-Culture lovers as K Life PH opened its doors earlier this month at the Ground Floor of ORE Central Bldg in Bonifacio Global City in Taguig. This massive store offers a variety of items that fans of K-Pop would surely love.

K Life PH founder Jacob Oh expressed his excitement as his new business venture not only offers several one-of-a-kind merchandise but also a glimpse of what it’s like to be in South Korea–– without the hassle of leaving the Philippines.

“We at K Life PH would like to invite everyone to come and experience the vibrant and shining world of K-Pop. Come in and meet fellow K-Pop fanatics here. Let this be a safe and fun space for you where passion for K-Pop overflows,” he shared.

The latest K-Culture store boasts several products–– from memorabilia, fan art, and posters to apparel and artist collectible K-Pop chocolates. K Life PH carefully chose and curated a variety of exclusive items from several K-Pop acts such as BTS, aespa, IU, SEVENTEEN, and more coming in the next few weeks. 

Kapamilya actress Arci Muñoz, a known K-Pop fan and BTS supporter, expressed how happy she is that a new store for fans like her opened up in the metro. She claimed how she knows the feeling of trying to buy merchandise abroad and having to deal with long lines as well.

"Of course, it’s very convenient and that’s why we’re all happy. For sure, maraming mapapasaya na K-Pop fans na [the merchandise] is here in the Philippines [already]. I know how it feels like na maubusan ng [merchandise] sometimes because most of the time it’s really sold out––especially pag BTS," she shared.

Apart from shopping for authentic merchandise, fans could also enjoy the dance studio and the two photo booths for a quick session to create content or just to immortalize fun moments with friends. Each space is complete with stage lights and amazing props and costumes which includes the traditional Korean Hanbok for that full effect.

“Being a K-Pop fan goes beyond knowing the hit songs and collecting idol merch. It is also about immersing yourself in the culture. K Life PH offers interactive activities such as wearing the Hanbok and capturing it via the in-store photo booth,” the founder shared.

“For those who are into performing and singing their hearts out, the store has a dance studio, too, where you can duet with their favorite K-Pop stars. Whether you are an amateur or a  seasoned artist, this is your chance to display your stellar vocals and moves while having fun at the same time,” he added.

During the opening last May 8, several stars who are known to be K-Pop fanatics were in attendance. Apart from Arci, Miss Supranational Japan 2024 Yuki Sonoda, Yan Yan De Jesus, Jinho Bae, Sammie De Leon, and Halyu Lu, among others were present in the opening. 

P-Pop acts Ajaa and Jean Kiley graced the event as well and showcased the Filipino talent as they performed in front of the invited guests at the opening.
