Korean actress Kim Sejeong — best known as the adorable Shin Ha-ri in the hit K-drama 'Business Proposal' — is in Manila, and she's doing the most Pinoy thing possible: shopping for fruits at Farmers Market in Cubao. Yes, the K-drama queen went full palengke mode before her fan concert, and Filipino fans are losing their minds.

Sejeong shared snaps on Instagram of herself buying fruits at the iconic Cubao market in Quezon City, eating ice cream, trying Filipino food, and chilling at her hotel. The casual, no-frills approach to her Manila visit is exactly the kind of content that makes fans love her even more. No VIP airs — just a K-drama star living her best tita life in QC.

The South Korean star held her 'Tenth Letter' fan concert on Saturday evening at the New Frontier Theater in Quezon City. Filipino fans who scored tickets were treated to an intimate show from one of K-drama's brightest stars — and probably spent the whole time wondering if she bought dalandan or calamansi at Farmers Market.

For the uninitiated, Kim Sejeong first rose to fame as a contestant on 'Produce 101,' where she placed second and became part of the K-pop girl group I.O.I. She then transitioned to acting with roles in 'School 2017,' 'The Uncanny Counter,' and of course, 'Business Proposal' — which became a massive hit in the Philippines. She's currently starring in 'Moon River' and 'Brewing Love.'

Her Cubao fruit run is exactly the kind of wholesome, relatable content that bridges the gap between hallyu stars and their Filipino fans. Forget fancy restaurants and hotel suites — Kim Sejeong went to palengke. And honestly? That's the biggest flex of all. Welcome to Manila, Sejeong! 🇵🇭🍊
