KyoChon Philippine's Fly Me To Korea Raffle Promo

Promo Period: June 1-30, 2015

This one is my favorite :) Being a huge fan of Lee Min Ho, I was so thrilled to find out that Kyochon Philippines is once again giving us the chance to see him in person and this time, they're even giving fans a chance to fly to Korea and experience Chimaek (Chicken & Beer) Festival! 

To participate, all you have to do is to visit any KyoChon Philippines store and purchase P1000 worth (single receipt) of KyoChon goodies (Love their Honey Chicken and Kimchi Fried Rice!). After that, they'll give you a raffle coupon where you should write your complete name, address, contact number, OR number, and signature. Then, you'll be asked to drop that at the designated drop box in the store.

Yay, got my raffle stub! *Hoping to win :)*

2 winners from the draw will win an all-expense paid trip to Korea and celebrate Chimaek Festival on July 21-24 and see Lee Min Ho. 3 consolation winners will also get a limited edition Kyochon Jacket with Lee Min Ho's signature. Prizes are tax free and transferable but not convertible to cash.
