Korean star Eugene Kim thanks 'kapamilyas'

Korean actress Eugene Kim took time out Friday to thank her Filipino kapamilya with a visit to ABS-CBN, which aired two of her hit television drama series.

The actress, who gained popularity in the Philippines through Koreanovelas "Save the Last Dance for Me" and "Wonderful Life", delighted fans when she appeared on top-rated noontime show "Wowowee."

Waving and smiling to everyone upon her arrival in Manila Thursday morning, Eugene said: "I think [the] people are very gentle and kind... that makes me happy."

The Department of Tourism (DOT) tapped Eugene as publicity envoy during a travel trade mission in Seoul, South Korea last June.

"Kim was picked because she fits the demographics of our target market: the honeymooners and young single people or those with families who are all looking for holiday destinations," Tourism Secretary Joseph Ace Durano said during the event.

The DOT said Eugene's scheduled visits to tourist spots in the country will be covered by a Korean TV network and print media to further promote the Philippines in her country.
