KOREAN POP SENSATION JAY PARK TO TAKE CENTRESTAGE
AT MTV EXIT LIVE IN MANILA CONCERT TO FIGHT HUMAN TRAFFICKING
28 SEPTEMBER 2011, MANILA: The MTV EXIT (End Exploitation and Trafficking) campaign today announced plans to hold a massive live concert in Manila on October 29 at the Mall of Asia to raise awareness and increase prevention of human trafficking.
The free outdoor concert will be headlined by Korean pop sensation, Jay Park, previously known as the leader of Korean band, 2PM. The multi-talented megastar made his first comeback performance online where his video received over 1.5 million views within 24 hours. Park is also often the number one trending topic on Twitter thanks to his enormous and committed fan base. He has collaborated with Shorty Jang-goon and Ye-eun of the Wonder Girls for the song “Jeong” featured on the KBS miniseries Conspiracy in the Court, as well as many other successful collaborations.
Joining the line-up is Californian alternative rock band, Evaline, who will ignite the MTV EXIT Live in Manila concert with a high-energy show that has rocked fans throughout the world. Evaline has recently supported mega-bands such as Coldplay, My Chemical Romance and Linkin Park.
In addition, the Philippines’ top artists will also be joining the concert, many of whom performed at the previous MTV EXIT Live in Manila concert in May 2009.
In Asia Pacific, MTV EXIT is produced by the MTV EXIT Foundation in partnership with the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and the Australian Government’s Agency for International Development (AusAID).
MTV EXIT has held 26 concerts across Asia over the past two and a half years, including events in Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Nepal, Taiwan, the Philippines, Vietnam, Indonesia and Timor-Leste.
MTV EXIT and Visayan Forum Foundation will also be hosting a National Youth Summit for the Movement of Anti-Trafficking Advocates in the week before the concert.
Additional concert and ticketing details will be announced soon.
