UPSIZE PH | He's Living the Korean Dream

Filipinos used to have the American Dream. Thanks to Hallyu, we now have the Korean dream.

Imagine living in the land of K-drama and K-pop with all that food and beauty products within our reach. Imagine living in land with four seasons. Imagine having the chance to visit locations where our fave K-drama scenes were shot.

Christian Delgado is living that dream for all of us.

Christian's photographs of "True Beauty" locations went viral on Facebook and Twitter recently.

We love how Christian is in the photos reenacting the scenes!

Christian has been a K-drama fan since "Boy Over Flowers." Like many Filipinos, his first favorite Korean actor was Lee Min-ho.

"After that, I became more addicted to K-dramas and I started liking more actors and actresses and dramas," said Christian, who has lived and worked in Korea since 2019.

Aside from Lee Min-ho, Christian's other favorite Korean stars are Song Joong-ki, Park Seo-jun, Lee Jong-suk, Cha Eun-woo, Hyun Bin, Ji Chang-wook, Park Bo-gum, Yoo Seung-ho, Kim Soo-hyun. Park Shin-hye, Bae Suzy, Jun ji-hyun, Park Min-young, IU, Park Bo-young and Kim So-hyun.

His recent favorite dramas include "18 Again," "Crash Landing on You," "Start-Up," Weightlifting Fairy" "Goblin," "Itaewon Class" and "SKY Castle."

Of course, he also liked "Vincenzo" and naturally, he has pictures at the drama’s locations.

If you follow Christian on Facebook, you'll see that he gives directions on how to get to the drama locations.

By the way, Christian also likes K-pop.

"I love music and listening to K-pop gives me good vibes when I am chilling."

His favorite song is, of course, "Stand by Me" by SHINee from "Boys Over Flowers. He also likes "Autumn Morning" by IU, "Dynamite" by BTS, "What is Love?" by TWICE, "Love Scenario" by iKON and "Lovesick Girls" by BLACKPINK.

Given the chance, Christian would love to be a permanent resident of Korea.

"I love the food and the beaches and, of course, the people here."
