Ma Dong-seok, the breakout star of the hit South Korean film “Train to Busan,” is to set foot here soon, courtesy of former Ilocos Sur Governor Luis “Chavit” Singson.
Singson said he invited Ma Dong-seok to visit the country in the hopes of them eventually collaborating in various endeavors in the near future.
Singson met the actor during a recent visit to Korea along with boxing legend Manny Pacquiao.
“The major purpose of our trip is about (bringing in) electric vehicles to the Philippines,” Singson said.
Singson is hoping to help modernize public transportation by coming up with a better version of the jeepney.
Singson knows that Korea is the perfect business partner for the Philippines, as we share many similarities, culture-wise.
While there, Singson also met with his friends Lee Seung-gi and Nancy McDonie of Momoland.
According to Singson, he is investing in “Vagabond 2,” which will star Lee Seung-gi.
He is proposing that they shoot some scenes here, believing it would be a boon for the country’s tourism.
Through his LCS Group, Singson is also in talks with several businessmen to help provide better opportunities for Filipinos.
A project that is already underway is a manpower exchange for cosmetics manufacturing.
Singson and Pacquiao sat down with Incheon City Mayor Yoo Jeong-bok to discuss a possible partnership relating the project.
