On October 25, 2025, the Philippine Philharmonic Orchestra will treat K-Drama fans to an evening of orchestral renditions from their favorite Korean shows and films, featuring soundtracks from hits like Crash Landing On You and K-Pop Demon Hunters.
The magic of Korean entertainment comes alive on the concert stage as the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP), the Korean Cultural Center in the Philippines (KCC), and the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) proudly present “OST Symphony II: K-Drama in Concert” on October 25, 2025, at Samsung Hall, SM Aura, Taguig City, with two performances at 2 PM and 630 PM.

What To Expect At “OST Symphony II: K-Drama in Concert”
At the heart of the concert is the Philippine Philharmonic Orchestra, led by Maestro Herminigildo Ranera. Fresh from their triumphant UK tour, the PPO will deliver powerful, heart-stirring renditions of beloved K-Drama soundtracks.
From the adrenaline-fueled beats of Maggie Kang’s cultural phenomenon K-pop Demon Hunters to the tender melodies of Crash Landing on You and the tear-jerking When Life Gives You Tangerines, the evening promises an exciting journey through the emotions that have made these dramas unforgettable.
OST Symphony II: K-Drama in Concert also features an impressive lineup of guest performers, including Korean singer-songwriter Hong Isaac and rising artist YEGNY, alongside Filipino talents Kyline Alcantara and Angel Guardian. These stars will be enhancing the experience through their powerful singing performances, bridging cultures through songs that celebrate Korean and Filipino artistry.
More To Come: A K-OST And K-Show Production Workshop
Ahead of the concert, the Korean Cultural Center (KCC), in partnership with GMA, will host a one-day K-OST and K-Show Production Workshop, bringing together some of Korea’s top music and show producers for a creative exchange with Filipino industry professionals.
The initiative aims to foster closer ties between both industries and spark new opportunities for collaboration in storytelling and production. This year’s concert also highlights Gyeongju, the host city of the upcoming 2025 Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Economic Leaders’ Meeting in Korea. Known for its rich cultural heritage, the city will bring a touch of its charm to Manila through a promotional booth in the concert lobby, where guests can explore the city’s history and attractions.
Complementing the display is a K-Drama merchandise showcase, which will give fans a closer look at the cultural narratives that inspire their favorite shows.
With a full house of K-Drama fans and music enthusiasts, OST Symphony II: K-Drama in Concert promises to reaffirm that great stories know no borders with the universal, unifying language of music.
