Experience Seoul Fashion Week with K-Pop Sensation ENHYPEN at Dongdaemun Design Plaza - Bookable on Airbnb

Get your lightsticks ready! ENHYPEN is set to kick off Seoul Fashion Week in September 2023 with the world's first overnight stay at Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP), the soul of style in Seoul.

 

Following their appearances at Milan Fashion Week, K-Pop’s ENHYPEN are becoming Airbnb Hosts and inviting two lucky guests to preview Seoul Fashion Week with an overnight stay at DDP. Designed by renowned architect Zaha Hadid, DDP is a major landmark in South Korea’s capital city, and hub to a thriving design, art and fashion scene.

 

The top floor loft space has been transformed in celebration of Fashion Week, with guests getting the chance to stay ON the runway, and gain a first look the night before collections are revealed and Seoul Fashion Week begins. A backstage dressing room offers designer clothes for guests to try on from K-fashion’s most innovative up-and-coming designers. To top it off, guests will receive exclusive passes to Seoul Fashion Week (including front row seats with some of the biggest names in K-Fashion!). 

 

“We are honored to partner with Airbnb and DDP to bring guests behind the scenes of Seoul Fashion Week like never before,” said ENHYPEN’s leader Jungwon. “It’s so exciting to be part of the K-Wave movement, and share the magic of Korean music and fashion with the world.”

 

“I am thrilled that Airbnb has joined forces with ENHYPEN, Seoul Design Foundation and Seoul Metropolitan Government to create a truly unprecedented experience in the cultural heart of Seoul,” said Nathan Blecharczyk, Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer at Airbnb, “Airbnb’s unique offerings in South Korea, from traditional hanoks to contemporary structures such as DDP, provide distinctive spaces from which to explore the fascinating culture of this dynamic market.”

Sense and Style Unite: Discover the Perfect Fusion of Function and Design with OPPO Reno8 T and Reno8 T 5G

 

Many of today’s smartphones battle on the quality of its camera, battery life and charging, and smoothness of its operating system. While all these are valid and important when looking for a new phone, we tend to forget that aesthetic and appeal also plays an integral role in considering which device to get.

OPPO’s Portrait Expert proves it’s a device that’s more than meets the eye 

You shouldn’t be torn in choosing function over design or vice versa. Function, aesthetic, and style can definitely exist in one device. OPPO, leading global smart device brand, has made this possible through the OPPO Reno8 T and OPPO Reno8 T 5G, giving you a device that has superb performance and function while still being stylish and trendy.

Premium Look and Feel of  the Fiberglass Leather Design

What makes OPPO Reno8 T an eye catcher apart from its capabilities and superb photography features is its unique design. 

 

The OPPO Reno8 T sports  a one-of-a-kind fiberglass leather design gives it a sleek and classy look from the get go with its vibrant Sunset Orange Color which can turn into an instant accessory and a “pop of color” to your OOTDs. 

 

The upgraded Orbit Light around the camera module functions as a notification light with eight different settings and eight  colors to choose from. With this, you will never miss a notification even when you are busy or on-the-go. 

  

The Iconic OPPO Glow 

Both unique style features present in the Reno8 T and Reno8 T 5G is the iconic OPPO glow. 

 

The OPPO Glow is an OPPO-exclusive manufacturing process that creates millions of pyramid-shaped crystals on the back cover of the phone by etching the material at the microscopic level, giving the matte surface a finer appearance with richer colors. 

 

Because of this, the Reno8 T and the Reno8 T 5G dazzle like a fine piece of jewelry without leaving fingerprints and any unwanted marks. The OPPO glow comes in Sunrise Gold for the Reno8 T 5G and Midnight Black for both Reno8 T and Reno8 T 5G. 

 

A unique design direction for the OPPO Reno8 T 5G is its stylish dual camera module design that aligns the two camera modules vertically to create a more balanced look. Housed within a contrasting texture oval panel, the cameras are also circled by decorative metal rings that add a further premium touch while better protecting the lenses.

 

Stylish and functional devices for you!

The Reno8 T and Reno8 T 5G may sport a chic and trendy aesthetic, but it is still geared with significant functional features. 

 

The Reno8 T has a 100MP portrait camera while the Reno8 T 5G has 108MP ultra-clear portrait camera, both designed to capture clear and defined photos. Battery life is also not an issue for both devices as the OPPO Reno8 T has 5000 mAh battery and a 33W SUPERVOOC fast charging feature. This allows you to charge your battery from 0% to 100% in just 67 minutes. On the other hand, the OPPO Reno8 T 5G has a 4800 mAh battery with 67W SUPERVOOC fast charging feature that allows you to juice up your battery to 100% in just 44 minutes. This gives both devices  long-lasting battery life that is ideal for all-day outdoor activities. 

 

A trendy, all-around  smartphone is now here and yours for the taking! Get your hands on the Reno8 T and Reno8 T 5G so you’ll never go out of style. 

 

The Reno8 T 5G is available for PHP 23,999 and the Reno8 T can be yours for PHP 18,999. Get any of these smartphones today in all official OPPO brand stores nationwide. You may also purchase via Lazada, Shopee, and TikTok shop.

Sustainable Projects Shine: Introducing the New Winners of the LG Ambassador Challenge

LG captures lightning in a bottle once again as it recently concluded its LG Ambassador Challenge, which saw dozens of project proposals from across the nation. The contest was first introduced in partnership with Korea Friends of Hope International (KFHI) and serves as a testament to LG's dedication towards fostering sustainable development within the Philippines' local communities. For its second year, the winning proposals are ‘Life is Good, When Life Has Light’, ‘Flowing Water for Growing Future’, and ‘Paliparan Community Livelihood’.

LG Philippines Managing Director Mr. Sungjae Kim, with Korean Friends of Hope International (KFHI) Country Manager Mr. Taeho Lee and Mr. Soonchang Hong, Minister and Consul General of the Embassy of the Republic of Korea awards the winners of the 2023 LG Ambassador Challenge.

‘Life is Good, When Life Has Light’ is a program spearheaded by the Our Daily Bread Community-Dayap Church. The community, based in Calauan, Laguna, is a relocation site provided by the government after typhoon Ondoy. In the barangay, streetlights are practically absent, which makes it a dangerous place come night time, both for pedestrians and drivers alike. To address the problem, solar-powered street lights will be established throughout the dark places inside the relocation area. This goal will help people feel safe, reduce crime, conserve energy, make streets clearly visible in order to promote safety and convenience, and to have safer, comfortable, more convenient, and more efficient movement of vehicles during nighttime.

Another winning proposal is ‘Flowing Water for Growing Future’ by Myla Cabaluna. The project tackles water access in the community of Lawaguin. Because of the lack of an efficient water supply, locals have to resort to washing clothes and dishes, and even bathing by the road. To address the situation, the initiative plans on installing a solar-powered water pump that will deliver a clean and consistent water supply to the community. 

The third winner for this year’s LG Ambassador Challenge is the Paliparan Community Livelihood Project by Bong Rho Yoon.  The proposal aims to alleviate the livelihood of the community living in Paliparan, a dense barangay of over 100,000 people, most of which are urban poor. There are approximately 1,000 families living in the area with over 50% of the households’ main income coming from construction work. To help alleviate their situation, the livelihood project aims to introduce sewing to add job diversification. The vocational training education hopes to increase employment and add a stable source of income for households.

LG Philippines Managing Director Mr. Sungjae Kim was impressed with the proposed programs of this year’s crop of winners. “We at LG are proud to be a part of these helpful and inventive initiatives. Our brand is always committed to sustainability and leaving a positive impact in the community. These programs, spearheaded by our LG Ambassador Challenge winners, offer great strides to deliver sustainable growth to local communities. We stand hand in hand with them to help realize their vision.” Also present during the awarding ceremonies were Mr. Soonchang Hong, Minister and Consul General of the Embassy of the Republic of Korea and Mr. Taeho Lee, Country Manager of the Korean Friends of Hope International (KFHI). KFHI is the international cooperation organization working to build international solidarity between Koreans and people around the world.
