Goobne Chicken Sponsors Film 'Finding Santos', Set to Premiere in 130 Philippine Theaters

Goobne Chicken, operated by GN FOOD, announced its sponsorship of the upcoming film <Finding Santos>, scheduled to premiere in approximately 130 theaters across the Philippines on the 19th. This initiative aims to expand the brand's presence and connection with local audiences.

The film <Finding Santos> is a collaborative project commemorating the 75th anniversary of the Philippines' participation in the Korean War and the 76th anniversary of diplomatic ties between Korea and the Philippines. It tells a humanist romantic comedy story, expressing gratitude towards Filipino veterans of the Korean War.

The narrative follows 'Woojin,' a former K-POP star living a reclusive life, as he travels to the Philippines with his manager 'Junha' to find 'Santos,' a Filipino veteran who saved his grandmother during the Korean War. During their journey, the characters naturally visit the first Goobne Chicken branch in Bonifacio, enjoying the brand's signature dishes. This product placement is expected to foster a stronger connection with the local audience.

The first Goobne Chicken store in the Philippines is located in the Bonifacio Global City (BGC) mall in Taguig, Metro Manila, offering best-selling items like Original, Volcano, and Soy Garlic, along with various meal options.

Actor Jang Tae-oh, who gained attention for his role in Netflix's <Single's Inferno 4>, plays the lead male role of Woojin. Mag, a member of the Filipino girl group YGIG, stars as the female lead, Gabi. The film is directed by Son Hyun-woo, known for his work on films such as 'Parking Director' and 'Dead Again'.

Korean netizens have reacted positively to Goobne Chicken's film sponsorship, with comments like 'This is a great project that remembers history!' and 'I hope Goobne Chicken achieves great success in the Philippines!'. Many are also expressing anticipation, stating, 'I definitely have to watch the movie now that Goobne Chicken is featured.'
