Han So-hee and Lee Do-hyun Are Coming Back to Manila for Musinsa Standard’s PH Debut
Korean stars Han So-hee and Lee Do-hyun are set to return to the Philippines later this month, this time to help launch Korean fashion label Musinsa Standard in the country. The two actors, who serve as ambassadors of the brand, will attend the grand opening of its first Philippine branch at the activity center of Ayala Malls Glorietta on Thursday, November 26, Philstar.com reported on Friday, November 13.
The appearance was confirmed by Musinsa Standard Philippines on Instagram, which told fans to stay tuned for more details about the event. Both actors modelled for the brand’s Fall/Winter collection last year.
According to PhilSTAR Life, the store will open at Glorietta 2 in Makati City. Rohit Kohli, chief retail officer of ACX Retail, said in a press release that Lee Do-hyun “embodies the understated confidence that defines modern Korean menswear,” adding that having the actor at the Glorietta opening makes the brand’s debut “even more special for Filipino fans and fashion enthusiasts alike.”
Musinsa Standard’s entry into the Philippines was first announced in August through an exclusive distribution partnership with ACX Holdings, the retail arm of Ayala Corporation. Musinsa, which started in 2001 as an online community for sneaker fans, has since grown into South Korea’s largest online fashion platform, and Musinsa Standard is its in-house label known for versatile everyday wardrobe pieces.
This will not be the first Manila visit for either star. Lee Do-hyun held a fan meeting in the country in August last year, shortly after finishing his mandatory military service, while Han So-hee had her own fan meeting a month later. Both trips were their first time in the Philippines.
Han So-hee is known for “The World of the Married,” “Nevertheless,” “My Name,” “Soundtrack #1” and “Gyeongseong Creature.” Lee Do-hyun rose to fame through “Hotel del Luna” and followed it with “18 Again,” “Sweet Home,” “The Glory” and the film “Exhuma.”
For Filipino fans of the two actors, the Glorietta launch offers another chance to see them up close, less than a year and a half after their first visits.
