I can now readily share my personal views on the latest ins and outs of fashion and style trends in Korea with all my fans in the region under one pan-regional platform.”
Song will be the star to introduce beauty fashion and lifestyle trends in Korea and talk about her opinions on products as well. It will be a big hit offering viewers an engaging experience and ensuring stickiness that Song may even travel to places with Viu, interact with fans and share her experience of the products along with pertinent advice.
