Sophie Albert, Vin Abrenica get K-pop makeover on ‘Pinoy Explorer’


With only two days to go before the much-awaited airing of “Never Say Goodbye” this Monday on TV5, Sophie Albert and Vin Abrenica continue to promote their first ever romantic drama series with an extremely busy weekend schedule.

The loveteam fans refer to as Sovin began their promotional blitz with a Saturday morning motorcade at Binondo, Manila in celebration of Chinese New Year.

By noontime, Sophie and Vin joined the rest of the cast of “Never Say Goodbye” and the rest of their “Artista Academy” batchmates on “Wowowillie” and had fun with Willie Revillame and the rest of his co-hosts.

But fans won’t be seeing a different side of Sovin until later when their recent South Korean trip with Aga Muhlach is aired on “Pinoy Explorer” in the the first of three episodes.

Undergoing a K-pop makeover like we’ve never seen them before, Sovin and Aga will invade the now famous Gangnam district of Psy and parade their barely recognizable “Gangnam Style” when they try out the latest trends in Korean fashion.

“Manika ba ito o si Sophie Albert?” Aga tweeted earlier in the day before following it up with “Ang di manood ng #PinoyExplorer mamaya, lagot kay Vin Abrenica!”





In addition to their quirky new fashion sense, the trio will get a taste of the Hallyu wave that is also known for bringing its famous Korean dramas all over the world. Stopovers include the Star Avenue which houses costumes from different Korean TV series.

The Korean experience would not be complete without a dash of K-Pop. Aga and SoVin will also catch an entertaining K-pop concert as the two emerging stars rub elbows with upcoming K-pop icons.

In the next two episodes, “Pinoy Explorer” will introduce viewers to traditional Korean dishes while also checking out the exciting street food trip around the colorful shopping and art district of Insadong.

Of course, no show that features Sovin would be complete without some romance in the air.

As the two take a romantic trip to the iconic snow-capped landscape of Nami Island, swooning fans are likely to wonder once again if their on-screen romance would eventually blossom into something more real. Just like their favorite Koreanovelas, fans will just have to wait and see.

The three-part special of “Pinoy Explorer” that takes host Aga Muhlach and special guests Sophie Albert and Vin Abrenica to Seoul, South Korea begins this Saturday, February 9, at 7PM.
