Excitement is in the air for Filipino K-pop and K-drama fans as it's time for the 8th annual Asia Artist Awards (AAA) — with this year's edition happening right here in the Philippines with Metrobank as the official bank partner.

On 14 December, all roads will converge at the Philippine Arena, where the prestigious awards show will take place, honoring the best of the best in South Korean entertainment. With big acts like K-pop girl groups NewJeans and LE SSERAFIM, famous K-drama actor Kim Seon-Ho, and so much more, the 2023 AAA is the place for K-fans.

With an event of this scale, what eventgoers need to avoid are the hassles ahead of the most significant Korean wave hitting the country. It's a good thing there's an essential AAA buddy that K-pop and K-drama fans need to make their #RoadToAAA2023 easy and rewarding – their reliable Metrobank credit card.

Here's why:

1. Exclusive AAA Ticket Pre-sale.

To kick off the AAA hype, Metrobank credit cardholders have secured their preferred seats in the house as they got first dibs through Metrobank's exclusive ticket pre-sale last 10 to 11 November 2023. Don't fret if you missed the first salvo; you could still buy tickets during the regular sale with your Metrobank credit card and earn equivalent reward points for your spend. Just head to PULP's website at pulp. Click on the AAA banner, add your tickets to the cart, and pay with your Metrobank credit card. It's a hassle-free transaction all the way.

2. Snap up your OOTD and earn reward points.

Put together an outfit and look like your favorite K-pop idols and K-drama stars. Don't forget to buy your light sticks and other event essentials, as you'll be at the Arena for the whole afternoon of 14 December to witness and see your Korean idols. The best part? If you pay for your OOTD with your Metrobank Titanium Mastercard, you can earn 2X reward points and cash rebates from partner department stores and even on your online shopping purchases.
