MANILA — K-pop superstars BTS and Blackpink are among the most talked about South Korean idol groups by Filipinos on Twitter this 2021.

The social network on Thursday named the "most tweeted about K-pop groups in the Philippines" this year, but unlike in previous years, the groups were not ranked and listed alphabetically instead.

The list includes phenomenal boy band BTS, which recently won the top prize at the American Music Awards and was nominated for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance in the 2022 Grammy Awards.

YG Entertainment's Blackpink, who are also at the forefront of K-pop's international popularity, also made the list.

Also on the list are Blackpink's labelmates iKON, JYP Entertainment acts Twice and Stray Kids, and SM Entertainment groups Red Velvet and EXO.

Boy groups Enhypen, Seventeen and The Boyz are also among the "most tweeted about" K-pop acts, according to Twitter's list.

Twitter also released the list of "most tweeted about" K-pop hashtags by Filipinos this year, which includes #blackpink, #bts, #enhypen, #exo, #nct127, #nctdream, #seventeen, #straykids, #treasure and #twice.

K-pop has been one of South Korea’s most successful cultural exports and is a key component of the “Korean Wave” that has swept Asia and beyond over the last two decades.

February marks the month of love as everyone around the world celebrates Valentine’s Day on the 14th. While not everyone has a special someone to celebrate the special occasion with, here are five hugot films whether you’re single, feeling lonely, or just want to emote this Valentine weekend.


These films are available on various platforms such as YouTube, Netflix, Prime, Viu, among others.


Labs Kita, Okey Ka Lang?



One of the classic rom-com films that raised a generation. On screen couple Marvin Agustin and Jolina Magdangal showcase their chemistry in this movie. This is a good hugot film if you’re in love with your best friend but haven’t confessed yet.


Unforgettable line: “Oh, yes kaibigan mo 'ko. Kaibigan mo lang ako. And that's all I ever was to you, Ned, your best friend… and I'm so stupid to make the biggest mistake of falling in love with my best friend.” (Jolina as Bujoy)

The Hows of Us



Get ready to wipe your tears away with this Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla film. If you’re into giving second chances to your ex or following the your heart’s desire, this film is the perfect fit for you.


Unforgettable line: “Matalino akong tao eh pero pagdating sayo, ewan ko, natatanga ako." (Kathryn as George)


I’m Drunk I Love You



Just like the film’s synopsis, this isn’t a love story that everyone thinks it is. Seven years of loving her best friend–– doing everything for him and even some more only to not get the same energy back from him. This is the perfect film to watch this weekend if you’re like Carson (played by Maja Salvador) who fell into the friendzone.


Unforgettable line: “Mahal kita, seven years na. Seven years na kitang mahal.” (Maja as Carson)


Starting Over Again



If you were ghosted by someone and years later, they wanted you back, this could be the film just for you. Starting Over Again showcases the realistic side of being ghosted by someone you thought you’d be with forever. 


Unforgettable line: “Anong karapatan mong hingin ang bagay na ipinagdamot mong ibigay? I deserve an explanation. I deserve an acceptable reason.” (Piolo Pascual as Marco)


That Thing Called Tadhana


Where do broken hearts go? Definitely in Sagada. This film became an instant cult classic and paved the way for many hugot films to be produced even until today. If you’re like Mace (played by Angelica Panganiban) who’s trying to move on from their failed relationship, give this movie a go–– in case you haven’t watched it.


Unforgettable line: “Hindi. Na. Kita. Mahal. Makakaalis. Ka. Na. Seven words. ‘Yung 8 years namin, kinaya niyang tapusin in 7 words.” (Angelica as Mace) 


These five hugot films will surely make your Valentine’s weekend a memorable one.
