Award-winning South Korean singer Kim Won Shik was the special guest performer at the recent Winners Night of the first-ever Mr. and Ms. Chinatown Global. Held at Hilton Manila in Newport World Resorts last January 20, the prestigious pageant now welcomes participants from around the world, truly making it a global event.
In line with this, Kim Won Shik was invited from Korea to fly to Manila and perform his first single under Universal Records, “To Be With You.” This song was part of the OST of the Philippine adaptation of the hit K-drama What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim? and recently won Best Theme Song at the 2024 Asian TV Awards held in Jakarta, Indonesia.
Kim Won Shik, who wore a suit by Francis Libiran for the event, expressed his gratitude for being part of the inaugural Mr. & Ms. Chinatown Global. “I’m so happy I got to perform my debut single at such a prestigious event,” he said. “As a South Korean singer flown to the Philippines to sing my own song, I am very honored to be part of this!”
Currently based in South Korea, Kim Won Shik maintains an active career in the Philippines. He is a Bench endorser, having walked for Bench Fashion Week, and is also busy promoting his latest single, “Hello My Love,” which is included in the OST of the hit Viu original series How to Spot a Red Flag, starring Donny Pangilinan and Belle Mariano.
