iKON performs during the Samsung Galaxy S10 Launch in the Philippines

Most Filipino K-POP fans knew about iKON coming to Manila for Samsung’s S10 Launching Party. The event only invited selected influentials and media partners along with Samsung executives, business partners and dealers. Samsung opened 50 slots for Samsung users to let iKONICs attend the exclusive event. They also did a raffle draw to non-Samsung users, allowing 10 additional winners to attend the launch party.

On February 26, iKON arrived in the country for the launching party set to happen during the night at Cove Manila. Annyeong Oppa was one of the few media partners invited to the said event.

The event was hosted by the international TV/events host, Joey Mead King. During the launch, Samsung President Mr. James Jung was pleased to announce the new features that come with the new unit: a wide variety of screen size display, a more improved camera feature, and memory sizes up to 1.5 terabytes to name a few.
