Next week marks the first time South Korean rapper Park Junwon, who goes by the stage name pH-1, will perform in Manila.
Organized by Karpos Live, ph-1's About Damn Time concert is scheduled for May 3, 2023, at the Filinvest Tent in Muntinlupa City.
ABOUT pH-1
pH-1's stage name is actually an abbreviation of his full name: "p" icomes from his surname, Park, the "H" from his English name, Harry, and the "Won" in his stage name from his Korean name, Park Junwon.
ph-1 officially debuted in the Korean hip-hop scene in 2016 with his first digital single "Wavy".
In 2017, he was signed under H1GHR MUSIC, an international label for hip-hop and R&B artists.
The following year, he rose to fame after his appearance on Show Me the Money 777.
pH-1 has released two studio albums to date, HALO in 2019 and But for Now Leave Me Alone in 2022. Among his popular tracks are "Malibu," "Donut," and "Like Me."
Recently, he appeared as one of the rap mentors on Mnet's idol survival program Boys Planet.
Following his appearance on the show, Filipino fans got more excited to see him perform live.
While there are countless reasons for fans to attend their favorite artist's concerts, here are four additional reasons to catch pH-1's live performance:
