Kim Won shik and Kim Ji soo


Kim Ji-soo and Kim Won-shik reflect Pinoy humor as they hop on the 'What hafen Vella' trend.

South Korean actor and Kapuso star Kim Ji-soo is the latest celebrity to hop on the "What hafen Vella" trend.

On his Tiktok account, Ji-soo shared a short video of him lip-syncing to the viral lines.

The video included a special guest, his fellow South Korean actor Kim Won-shik.



The two are standing in front of the Vela Hotel in Legazpi City in Albay. The said hotel's name most likely sparked the idea to make the video.

Netizens were quick to laud both actors for adapting well to Pinoy humor.

It can be recalled that Ji-soo has been working in the Philippines since 2024, while Won-shik has lived here for over six years and even attended one of the top universities in the country.

The person behind the "What hafen Vella" meme is Cristopher Diwata from Orion, Bataan.

The viral lines are from his stint as a Taylor Lautner lookalike contestant in the It's Showtime segment "Kalokalike" back in 2013 where he channeled Lautner's character Jacob from the popular Twilight movies series.

Cristopher was surprised by his viral fame but is thankful as it lead to various opportunities such as television appearances and brand deals.

Meanwhile, Kim Ji-soo has an upcoming travel show with popular content creators Sassa Gurl, Bey Pascua, and Richard Juan where they explore what the Bicol region has to offer.
