Super Junior's Choi Siwon turned 27 (Korean age) on April 7th, 2013. Three fan clubs in the Philippines including WeLoveChoiSiwon Philippines together with Siwon Philippines (under SJPHELFS) and Captain Siwonest (under SJUPH) gathered to celebrate Siwon's birthday.
On the 6th, Filipino ELFs celebrated Siwon's birthday in a special way, it was held at Jollibee Vito Cruz from 1PM to 4PM. Siwon's look-alike, Kurt Othello Sadje also attended the event as a special guest. Fans surely enjoyed the birthday gathering because of the games, prizes and of course, spending quality time with their fellow Filipino ELFs.
The main purpose of the gathering is to help other people, to donate to a church in the Philippines, 'Evangelical Methodist Church in Cambaog'. It is great to know that KPOP idols inspire people to do good deeds. They are indeed a great way to help people in need. Being a fan is not just about spending your money in buying merchandises, attending concerts but it is also about giving your best just to help people even in a small way in the name of your idol. The Philippine fan clubs especially WeLoveChoiSiwon Philippines and Siwon Philippines put much effort to make this event successful, from planning the event to making it possible.
To certify their donation, certificates were given to the participating fan clubs.
Take a look at some photos taken during the event.

For Filipino Blackjacks, last Saturday, June 4, 2011, was not an ordinary day for their favorite idol group performed at the Araneta Coliseum for a concert entitled "The Party."
Shortly before the concert, Blackjacks gathered for an event called "The Fiesta" in which various 2NE1 collectible items were sold. Furthermore, it was also a time for fans to be their idols as some groups performed their favorite 2NE1 songs.
As "The Party" began, fans cheered in much anticipation while front acts Techy Romantics, Christian Bautista, The Bloomfields, Callalily and Philippine All Stars warmed up the mood with their amazing performances and songs. Famous Filipino actress and host Giselle Sanchez also shared a piece of her amazing humor to the audience in the Big Dome. She even mimicked Dara's hairstyle that some of us even thought that it was actually the latter who entered the stage!
The latter half of the show, just as expected, was welcomed by thunderous cheers from the crowds when 2NE1, composed of Dara, CL, Minzy and Bom, made their entrance with "Fire." (1)
2NE1 also performed hits like "Go Away" (2), "Can't Nobody" (6) and "Clap Your Hands" (7) which intensified the crowds' cheers.
Go Away
Can't Nobody
Clap Your Hands
Furthermore, Sandara surprised Filipino fans as she performed, once again, her song, "In or Out" (5) which became a last song syndrome hit during when she was still a singer/actress in the Philippines.
In Or Out
CL and Minzy showed off onstage their energy as they performed "Please Don't Go." (3)
The girls also serenaded the audience with the soothing tune of "Lonely." (4)
Lonely
Finally, the ended the show with "I Don't Care" being their last song for the show which left Blackjacks to ask for more!
However, to leave a more exciting piece, here's what Ms. Happee Sy of Pulp Live Magazine, the organizer of "The Party", has to say to a full-length show!
We are hoping for it too!
