‘The Gangnam Show: Psy Live in Manila!’ moved to February 2013

Korean rapper Psy’s Manila concert has been postponed yet again. The concert dubbed ‘The Gangnam Show: Psy Live in Manila!’ slated for Thursday, December 20, has been moved to February 2013 due to “logistical issues”.

Concert promoters Joed Serrano of That’s NTertainment Productions and Renen de Guia of Ovation Productions issued the following statement late on Tuesday:

“The organizers of the Gangnam Style event on December 20, 2012 at MOA Arena have collectively agreed to postpone the event to February 2013 due to logistical issues. PSY remains extremely excited about visiting the Philippines and looks forward to performing for his fans in early 2013.”

The show was supposed to feature guest performances by several local artists, namely Anne Curtis, Vhong Navarro, Chokoleit, Pokwang, Pooh, K Brosas, Jose Manalo & Wally Bayola, Ate Gay, and Ai Ai De las Alas.

The chubby South Korean rapper behind the global hit “Gangnam Style” was originally rumored to be coming to perform in the Philippines on November 29.

Then it was reported that he was definitely staging a concert at the SM Mall of Asia Grounds on December 21.

When promoters That’s Ntertainment made the formal announcement regarding the concert, the date was subsequently pushed a day earlier to December 20.

And then the venue was moved indoors to the MOA Arena, bumping off a PBA semifinal game between Talk N Text and Alaska.

Zac Efron to tour PH, see whale sharks before fashion event

One Hollywood celebrity who believes it’s really more fun in the Philippines is Zac Efron.

The 24-year-old actor will hold a fan conference on September 29 at the Mall of Asia Arena on behalf of the clothing line Penshoppe, but he will arrive in the country much earlier to go around and visit some tourist spots.

This was revealed to News5 and InterAksyon by Penshoppe CEO Bernie Liu.

“He’s been looking forward [to this trip]. His father has been to our country for many times! And he’s only heard good stories about the Philippines,” Bernie said.

Penshoppe brand director Alex Mendoza is helping fix Zac’s itinerary. “Meron siyang iikuting places na makikita niya talaga ang Pilipinas,” Alex said.

He declined to reveal specific details but said the actor plans to engage in some watersports and see some whale sharks.

“Gusto ata niya makita yung mga butanding e. Ewan ko lang. Marami nang lugar ang butanding ngayon kaya ewan ko lang kung saan,” he said.

Fans who plan to leave Zac alone on his sightseeing activities can simply attend the Penshoppe fan conference for a chance to meet the “High School Musical” star.

While the VIP seats have all been sold out, they can still avail of patron (P3500), lower box (P2500), upper box (P1200) and general admission (P800) seats by simply buying Penshoppe products.

Every single receipt purchase entitles a customer to a temporary FanCon pass to be signed by the store manager. The customer must then present the temporary pass to any SM Tickets (www.smtickets.com) branch nationwide in exchange for the actual FanCon ticket.
