Bago umalis patungong Korea ngayong Biyernes ng gabi, pumirma muna ng kontrata si Captain Argus ng "Descendants of the Sun" David Lee McInnis, sa ilalim ng isang talent management company para gumawa ng mga proyekto sa Pilipinas.
Bumisita sa Pilipinas ang German actor para magbakasyon at bisitahin ang kaniyang kaibigan. Pero nakapanayam niya kamakailan sina Arnold Vegafria ng ALV Talent Circuit Inc. at co-talent manager JoAnn Banaga at inalok na gumawa ng ilang proyekto sa bansa.
"Of course I want him to do a project in the Philippines. But not only in the Philippines but also globally. He did a lot of shows in Europe and also in Hawaii, so we'll just continue with his journey," pahayag ni Vegafria sa ginanap na press conference sa Taipan Place, Pasig City nitong Biyernes ng hapon.
"Now, he's gonna sign a contract for Philippines. Part of the contract is helping him in the global market," dagdag pa ni Vegafria.
Malaki naman ang pasasalamat ni McInnis sa pagtangkilik ng mga Pinoy sa mga Korean dramas tulad ng "Descendants of the Sun" na ipinalabas sa GMA 7.
"I think I feel very blessed to have a market like the Philippines. When you have networks that play the Korean dramas, I think I can speak for Koreans, we are super blessed and fortunate to have media outlets [help us]."
"If it wasn't for [the networks] and online services, there will not be any Korean wave," dagdag pa ng aktor.
Curious naman si McInnis tungkol sa Pinoy drama, kung kaya't gusto niya ring manood ng mga nito.
"I wanna watch more Filipino films. I'm a huge drama fan so I wanna watch more Filipino dramas and movies and get a flow and get to feel of how it works over here," anang aktor.
Gusto umano niyang mapanood ang pelikulang "Heneral Luna."
Samantala, sinabi ni McInnis na hinihintay na lang niya ang pormal na imbitasyon para sa kasal ng kaniyang "Descendants of the Sun" co-stars na sina Song Joong Ki at Song Hye Kyo.
"Actually, I got invited. I haven't received my official invite but I had drinks with Song Joong two weeks ago. It was great. He has been so busy," kuwento ng aktor.
Sinikreto umano ng dalawa ang ginawang paghahanda sa kasal.
"They kept it very hush-hush (private), even on set. No, nothing. Not even one percent. But they're pretty good," dagdag ni David. "In my personal opinion, they don't want to hide it anymore. I mean, you gotta come out on the press someday."
Patungkol naman sa kaniyang sariling love life, sinabi ni David na na wala siyang girlfriend: "I have no wife. I'm single. I'm on the market." -- FRJ, GMA News
