Korean star Choi Bo Min Welcomes Beauty Empire Cast to South Korea

Choi Bo Min is set to make his Philippine debut through the series Beauty Empire. He was actually in the Philippines last March 2025 for a contract signing with Universal Records and GLXY Talent Management, and to also shoot for Beauty Empire, a series produced by GMA, Viu, and CreaZion Studios.
