Solar Entertainment Corporation and Jungo TV officially signed a partnership agreement last March 28, 2025, at Mansion Sports Bar, in Makati City, marking an exciting milestone for both companies.

Solar Entertainment Corporation will also distribute Jungo TV’s Korean channel Hallypop, delivering Kpop and Korean entertainment to Filipino viewers. The cable channel currently airs K-drama’s such as Secret Agent and The Ordinary Life of Ms. O! as well as the Kpop show StarGazeMuzik.  

Additionally, martial arts fans can anticipate Black Belt Television on Solar Sports. This programming block will feature live professional combat, gripping docuseries, classic and contemporary martial arts films, and exclusive interviews with industry icons. The block will add to Solar Sports’ lineup of live content with matches from around the world going live to Filipino viewers over DTT and Cable.
