VMAN Southeast Asia’s debut featured three of the region’s known personalities: Indonesian R&B performer Afgan, Thai multitalented singer and actor Peach Pachara, and Filipino artist Kyle Echarri—a figure who has not only transitioned from television to music but also in fashion, gracing VMAN’s first glossy cover with his confident style.
