The recent ON Festival brought together Filipino and Korean artists of different genres as well as their fans for a daylong celebration of music.
MANILA — Some time in the middle of Filipino folk-pop band Ben&Ben’s set at the recent ON Music Festival, lead vocalist Miguel Benjamin Guico reflected on music’s power to forge ties among people of different backgrounds and tastes.
Honey Zamudio, who went to see Suho of K-pop boy group EXO, admitted that it was her first music festival. “Siguro I wouldn’t attend kung wala si Suho kasi hindi talaga ako ma-music festival,” she said. “Na-experience namin ‘yon. Back in 2020 or 2021, I think, nagulat kami because... umabot itong song na 'to sa Melon Charts in Korea. We were so happy,” he said.
