Gongsang! 

It was still a sunny morning when I arrived at SM Mall of Asia Arena. I was about to take photos outside the venue before I enter, but it began to rain. But to KPOP fans: "What rain!?" That's why, the area was already surrounded by concert-goers as early as 11:00 AM!

Globe and Pulp Live World’s partnership turned ONCE’s (Twice’s Fandom Name) dream into a reality. The long wait was finally over, especially for the Globe UltimateStan Group. And no amount of heavy rain was going to stop these guys from seeing their beloved KPOP group TWICE!

The group was welcomed by Happee Sy-Go, Pulp Live’s Vice President and KPOP “Inang Reyna”, as they call her at the Globe K-Community booth. 

Being part of the UltimateStan, they were the first group to visit and experience the different Globe booths.

To make the UltimateStan experience more exciting, each of them received event merchandise before they headed out to meet and greet TWICE.

Light’s on! 

The concert lasted for almost three hours. Jihyo, Jeongyeon, Nayeon, Mina, Momo, Chaeyoung, Tzuyu, Dahyun, and Sana made sure that their fans had the best concert that they have ever seen. 

Now, I know nothing about the KPOP universe but from what I saw, they are rockstars in their own way. Their performance was flawless even though some of their members were not a hundred percent: Jeongyeon was wearing an eye patch because of eye stye; Nayeon has a pain reliever patch on her neck; Dayun was wearing an ankle support.

Our Consumer Mobile Prepaid Platforms and Events Team has done it again! If a sold-out concert was any indication, it looks like this TWICE concert won’t be the last.
