Last Nov. 26, K-pop fans converged at the SM Mall of Asia Arena for a day of fun, camaraderie and a show that featured three Korean groups.
The “Ripples for Hope,” organized by Pulp Live World, saw fans participating in different games and meeting others.

“In the six years since their debut in 2015, Seventeen has solidified their position as Korea’s top artist on a foundation of mutual trust and support with Pledis Entertainment,” it said.
Pledis added, “Although their previous contracts had not yet expired, all thirteen members of Seventeen and our company engaged in deep discussions on the future vision of the group that led to a clear consensus, enabling both parties to re-sign their contracts ahead of schedule.”
