Various K-pop artists have just held a concert in Manila, together with the other American and Filipino counterparts. This was to advocate their longing for a possible Korean unification, as well as to promote world peace.
According to The Standards, the concert was entitled, "One K: 2017 Global Peace Concert. It was held at the Mall of Asia Arene in Manila. It features several K-pop icons such as CNBlue, SHINee, B1A4, BTOB, B1A4, AOA and Psy.
Together with them are American Grammy winners, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, as well as Filipino celebrity, Cesar Montano. It is also a privilege for the Philippines as it is Korea has chosen it to be the first country to unveil its unification campaign.
With it, its unification song entitled, "Korean Dream" was also unveiled first in the Philippines. According to Manila Bulletin, Koreans are still hoping that North and South Korea will once again unite under one government.
One of the most notable highlights of the concert was when Hyunsik of BTOB and Eunkang get to sign the popular song of Freddie Aguilar entitled, "Anak". Meanwhile, Cesar Montano accompanied them by playing the guitar.
Youngjae and Daehyun of B.A.P. also performed "Almost Paradise" referring to the "Boys Over Flowers" soundtrack, a big hit in the Philippines. B1A4's Aandeul also performed "Swallowing My Heart", which was the OST in "Moonlight Drawn by Clouds".
The goal of the recently held concert was to heal the tragedies of war and to promote the unification of not only Korea, but the world as a whole. The One K Global Campaign will then stage its next concert in the U.S., India, Japan and 10 more countries.
Hopefully, the K-pop world tour would bring about effective changes in global politics, especially now that China has blocked all K-pop music and films due to the defense system that South Korea has put up.
