Hello Gorgeous!
These past weeks have been so busy for me, and that’s good because I don’t like feeling bored.
When I found out on Facebook that there is another Korean tradeshow coming up, I immediately researched its details and even booked my day to visit this show.
Last week was another exciting happening here at SM Aura Premier, who housed the recent three (3) days Korean Product Festival 2017 last July 14 to 16, 2017. It was a free admission event so, I didn’t passed this opportunity to pay a visit since it is just a few blocks away from my workplace.
And you know me, tradeshow is one of my favorite event each year because it’s a great opportunity to discovery new products, meet new contacts and create possible opportunities. Gearing my camera phone, got some cash (because usually they prefer cash-basis purchases) and my business card, I headed to the said tradeshow during my lunch break, hahaha.
You know how much the Hallyu fever is booming in the Philippines (thanks for its massive influence) and I admit that their festivals are truly fantastic. It is always colourful AF, and most of the exhibitors are so nice and accommodating. They even installed this photo booth area with the traditional Korean hanbok dresses and musical instruments.
This tradeshows aims to promote the Korean products and services here in the Philippines, and also to open doors for new business opportunities and partnerships. Companies from South Korean participates in this tradeshows with their various Korean made products like foods and spices, household electronics, skincare and cosmetics, lifestyle electronics, etc.
For 3-days tradeshow, we’ve got a chance to experience the taste of Korea.
Of course that includes free sampling, free photo booth, free makeover, and even get home with FREEBIES! Thank for the generous Korean exhibitors.
Pardon me, however I couldn’t helped to fall in-love with this luxurious security vault I’ve seen. You see, in terms of securing your valuable belonging, it doesn’t need to be boring and simple.
You’ve got to do it right. Just like this stylish and artistic modern security vault, with high powered security installed right on your computer and phone, with complete two-factor authentication (security code + finger print), and designed like your luxurious furniture.
Ah, no wonder I took a picture of this half a million worth of security vault (Php535,000.00 to be exact).
During Day 2, they also showcased a meet-and-greet with OFFROAD’s Harang were his fans got a share to have a photo opp with him. What a cool way to entertain guests, right?
It also showcased a FREE Minwha and Sagunja Class, hosted by Tr. Yoon donghyun. He is a graduate from Korea National University of Traditional Heritage with major in Korea traditional art painting.
You may check his website at www.koreanculture.ph for the schedule of classes.
As I expected, I went home with my Korean skincare purchases which I will share my review very soon!
I love this kind of tradeshows because I got to haul more affordable products, and get freebies too when I purchase or event when I visited their booths.

This event was made possible by Overseas Korean Traders Association – Philippines (KOTA)
