GIFT GUIDE: Here’s Something For Every Oppa On Your List This Year
Whether he’s an aspiring barista, an emerging restaurateur, a frustrated artist and even a nervous knitter, Lazada has you covered
Though there may be a pandemic and quarantine restrictions, Christmas is not cancelled this year! If anything, the challenges of this year gives more reason to spread the cheer and the love. Just like we've expressed numerous times, K-Dramas and their characters continue to inspire many through this pandemic season. There are plenty of reasons to get hooked on them, but it is undeniable that some of their characters resonate because although idealized as their small screen personas, some of us know people who have the same attributes, wishes, dreams, longings, aspirations, personalities and even quirks of our favorite K-Drama heroes.
Some of the actors portraying these roles have even become household names. It is no wonder that Lazada has chosen Lee Min-Ho to endorse their 11.11 Sale:
Apart from Lee Min-Ho who was most recently viewed on The King: Eternal Monarch, we pay homage to many other oppas who have distinct preferences when it comes to hobbies in this gift guide, hoping you find something for every cutie in your gift list this year:
