Here is something sexy to look forward to.
K-dramas began sweeping the Philippines in the early 2000s and continue to shape pop culture today alongside the unstoppable rise of K-pop. Filipinos who have long adored their onscreen oppas will finally see the fantasy come alive before their eyes.
Imagine Magic Mike, only this time a group of dashing Korean oppas — topless, teasing, showing off their biceps and abs. This is no macho bar show; it is a Las Vegas-style production that promises elegance, heat and visual spectacle. No surprise, the lowest ticket price is P5,000 for Silver.
The event, titled The Man Alive: Choice, has enjoyed successful runs in Seoul and Jeju and will finally make its Philippine debut for a limited engagement at City of Dreams Manila. The show allows audiences to “choose” and live out a fantasy — sensual, bold and full of flair.
Korean audiences fell under its spell. The production became a phenomenon, filling theaters with locals and tourists drawn to its irresistible blend of music, movement and theatrical charm.
For the first time, the Manila staging opens its doors to patrons of all genders, promising a night that is daring, playful and delightfully naughty.
The Man Alive: Choice will be staged at the City of Dreams Manila Grand Ballroom at 8 p.m. on 27 and 28 December. Tickets are available via TicketMAX, with limited early-bird slots offering 30 percent off through the code “DIBSONOPPA.” Prices, exclusive of taxes and service fees, are P15,000 for SVIP, P10,000 for VIP, P8,000 for Gold and P5,000 for Silver. SVIP ticket holders can look forward to exclusive merchandise and a chance to meet the artists.
