Nadine Lustre
Recently, at the BVLGARI event in South Korea, the actress left everyone stunned. Single’s Inferno star Park Min Kyu was captivated the most, even taking to Instagram to post a reel of him standing beside Nadine, penning it, “She was really beautiful. I’m glad to be next to her.”
It’s no wonder why—netizens are gushing over Nadine’s fresh and minimal glam done by makeup artist Jelly Eugenio—a “perfect balance of my favorite K-beauty influence and Nadine’s natural beauty.” His admiration towards the Filipina actress had Nadine’s fans thrilled in his comment section, and the Single’s Inferno star took to posting a story as well: “Now, I’m experiencing President Nadine’s power. Thank you, Nadine’s fans, for following me. I’m a big fan of Nadine now.”
Pia Wurtzbach
Heavy is the head that wears the crown indeed—the Miss Universe 2015 got all the kilig moments with these Korean stars! In the same BVLGARI event, Pia was all-white elegance in an Yves Saint-Laurent backless dress that accentuated her figure. During a night event where fashion and entertainment meet, Pia met a range of superstars: SEVENTEEN’s Mingyu, ENHYPEN’s Ni-Ki and Jungwon, and BLACKPINK’s Lisa. In her Instagram post, she said, “Trying to keep my cool pero kilig na kilig din ako (but it’s giving me butterflies too)!”
Anne Curtis-Smith
As a fan of K-dramas and K-Pop herself, Anne has met a number of K-stars—BLACKPINK, Gong Yoo, NEWJEANS’ Hanni, and EXO’s Sehun. In May of last year, Anne stood out at the Gucci Cruise fashion show in Seoul in an all-red ensemble, and she got to have a cute interaction with Korea’s National Sweetheart, IU.
The latter released her comeback song, “Love Wins All” last January, to which Anne reacted to on X: “IU. The gift that keeps on giving.” Her photo of her interaction with IU resurfaced in response, and Anne reposted and said, “A moment I’ll forever treasure.”
Liza Soberano
Liza recently debuted in the international film scene with the horror comedy Lisa Frankenstein with Cole Sprouse and Kathryn Newton, but before she took over Hollywood, she met Korea’s heartthrob Ji Chang Wook. With fellow actor James Reid at the Giorgio Armani Mare Pop-Up Event last July of 2023 in Singapore, Liza got to have her moment with the Suspicious Partner star.
Francine Diaz
Francine had a recent collaboration with the Reply 1997 star Seo In-Guk in the track My Love with a matching music video last March 2. The blend of Seo In-Guk’s artistry and Francine’s soulful voice created an emotional and heartfelt melody. The story behind this collaboration stemmed from a casual dinner meeting between Seo In-guk and Francine’s manager, in which the Korean singer-actor said he was captivated by Francine’s rendition of Pag-Ibig. Not only is the Filipina beauty admired, but the Filipina talent as well. The result? A dreamy love song full of expressive and touching voices.
