Song Seung Hyun performed on stages around the world with the band FTISLAND (Five Treasure Island). Now, the Korean singer, actor, and model is heading to Flushing to be an ambassador.
The Shops at Skyview hosts Spring Forward/Give Back on Saturday, March 15.
Song recently moved to Queens and he’s excited to greet fans, share his journey, and discuss his support for children’s education initiatives. He’ll also add his charm and energy to the afternoon festival.
Here are the details.
Fashion Showcase: Models present the latest Spring/Summer collections from participating retailers.
Live Art Installation: Artists creatively transform recycled apparel into stunning visual displays with a Spring theme.
Snacks and Drinks: Complimentary beverages and snacks from participating tenants (while supplies last).
Mini Makeovers: Estheticians from Sephora and Everyday Beauty offer 10-minute mini makeovers that highlight Spring colors. (Pre-registration required.)
Custom Patch Station: Guests who make a $10 donation to children’s education are invited to use iron-on patches to personalize t-shirts purchased from Skyview retailers or a complimentary keychain strap.
Spring Clothing Drive: Guests who donate gently worn clothing receive coupons from Skyview retailers along with a signed poster from Song. The Queens Borough President’s Office will distribute the clothing to low-income students at local schools.
Immersive Photobooth: Film Memento, which was co-founded by Song, helps attendees capture popular Korean photo strips.
Spring Forward/Give Back is set for Level 4 from 2 pm to 5 pm. Attendance is free.

And we are exceptionally proud to have K-pop star Song Seung Hyun join us as an ambassador for the event and for children’s educational programs in our community.”
