LG Xboom Boosts Fan Energy at Kpop Stage

LG xboom helped power the fan‑driven Kpop Open Stage 2026 in Manila on May 3, turning a free, community‑focused event into a showcase of local talent and enthusiasm.

Event highlights and sponsor involvement

Organized by the Philippine Kpop Convention, the day‑long celebration at Robinsons Galleria Ortigas featured an open‑performance format that let participants step onto a stage that normally hosts professional acts, offering both solo and group categories. Winners received LG xboom devices: four units of the Grab speaker and four of the Bounce model were awarded to the top performers.

CHIM earned the Best Performer – Solo title, while TWAIN PH took home Best Performer – Group. Both acts were praised for stage presence and creativity, highlighting the depth of Filipino fan talent.

Beyond the music: community activities

Free admission encouraged a broad turnout. Fan‑club booths, a photocard trading area and a Random Play Dance party added layers of interaction beyond the main stage.

Raffles and games kept the atmosphere lively, while special guests from the P‑pop scene—VIVID and VVINK—performed to further energize the crowd.

The event’s design reflected how K‑pop fans view the genre as more than music; it is a shared experience built on movement, collecting and community. By providing a space for these elements, the organizers emphasized the cultural significance of fandom in the Philippines.

LG xboom’s involvement went beyond prize donations. Yongwoo Park, Media Solutions Production Director at LG Electronics Philippines, said, “LG xboom is all about bringing people together through powerful sound and shared moments. Kpop Open Stage was a perfect space to celebrate the energy of Filipino fans, their creativity, and their love for music and performance.”

From a practical standpoint, the presence of high‑output speakers likely enhanced the acoustic quality of both performances and the dance‑party segments, giving participants a clearer, more immersive sound.

This aligns with LG’s broader push to position its audio line‑up as essential for lively gatherings.

While the event centered on fan expression, it also served as a reminder that corporate sponsors can play a role in community‑led celebrations without dominating the narrative. LG xboom’s contribution was limited to equipment and prize support, allowing the fan community to retain control over the programming and atmosphere.
