Thai superstar Mario Maurer graced the launching of Korea’s most famous chicken brand BONCHON in the Philippines. Check out some photos from the event!

The Thai superstar, popular for the teenage romantic flick Crazy Little Thing Called Love, flew in to the country for the first time recently to do a series of engagements including signing a movie deal with Star Cinema and appearing in a Fan Conference at the PICC with thousands of screaming fans in attendance.

Mario, who is represented in the Philippines by PR Asia Worldwide, was greeted by BONCHON executives for the ceremonial ribbon cutting with a flock of excited fans hoping to get a glimpse of the 22 year old actor.

BONCHON is known worldwide for its extremely addicting chicken – created from a secret recipe — unlike any other: crispy, light, with hot juicy meat flavored with your choice of soy garlic or the hot and spicy glaze. It’s the ORIGINAL highly addicting formula that keeps people coming back for more.

BONCHON celebrates a supremely successful first year by formally launching in the Philippines and opening its tenth store with the charismatic Thai heartthrob trying out some of their delicious offerings such as fish tacos, bulgogi rice, the best chicken sandwich in town, chapchae (Korean noodles), and the hugely popular soy garlic chicken wings.

BonChon Chicken outlets are located at: Ayala Triangle Gardens; Greenbelt 1; Libis (Acropolis); SM Megamall; Robinson’s Galleria; Greenhills Promenade; Katipunan; Shangri-La Plaza; Taft Avenue; Tomas Morato (Il Terrazzo). Soon opening in TriNoma, SM Mall of Asia, Alabang Town Center, and Bonifacio High Street Extension.
