<p>KC Concepcion said it has always been her dream to do a comeback project. </p><p>Currently in the country to promote her first international movie,<em> Asian Persuasion</em>, KC Concepcion took the opportunity to formally announce her showbiz comeback through the said project. </p><p>“It’s been a few years na rin. I got busy with my jewelry kasi. And it’s been a few years na hindi ako bumaik sa acting but ang tadhana nga naman. Ayaw ako paalisin eh (laughs). So I think this job chooses you,&quot; she shared during the <em>Asian Persuasion</em> presscon. </p><p>&quot;Siguro talagang para sa akin &#x27;yung ganito and bata pa lang ako pinangarap ko ng mag-artista kahit dini-deny ko sa mommy ko. Kasi siyempre gusto niya akong mag-graduate ng college and then mag-ibang landas,&quot; she added. </p><p>She went on: &quot;But I think hilig ko rin talaga so I’m really grateful na bagong experience ito sa akin na yung script English pero yung kuwento Pilipino. Makaka-relate yung 4.6 million na mga Pilipino sa Amerika at mga pamilya na naiwan nila dito sa atin.&quot; </p><div><br/></div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-7" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/CwR2nteACLo/embed/captioned/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=524&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A7%2C%22os%22%3A4494484.899999976%2C%22ls%22%3A622492.7999999523%2C%22le%22%3A622753.8999999762%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="1015" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-7" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2022/5/19/fresh-scoops/kc-done-filming-intl-film-asian-persuasion-200127"><strong>READ: KC Concepcion done filming int’l film ‘Asian Persuasion’</strong></a></div><p>Surrounded by an all-Asian-American cast, which includes Dante Basco, Paolo Montalban, and Kevin Kreider, to name a few, KC admitted that she enjoyed her first Hollywood experience. </p><p>“Great! It feels so good to be back. Talagang pinangarap kong mag-comeback and hindi ko akalain na international film ang magiging first project ko after a while,&quot; she admitted. </p><p>&quot;So I’m really happy sa pagtanggap ninyo. I hope also na kahit American movie siya, may pusong Pinoy naman siya so ma-appreciate naman natin &#x27;yan. Generation tayo ng social media so it’s something new for us to really have to have in our scene right now,” she added. </p><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2022/6/11/fresh-scoops/kc-concepcion-asks-fans-for-support-to-finish-her-200519"><strong>READ: KC Concepcion asks fans for support to finish her film ‘Asian Persuasion’: ‘Help bring our movie to the finish line!’</strong></a></div><p>In her new role as Dante Basco’s ex-wife Avery, KC said she hopes to share the story of Filipino families living in the US. </p><p>“I know that there were a lot of things Avery went through. Because as a married woman who’s actually a young mom and also a career-driven woman, a divorce must be very, very hard for her. Just like it is for a lot of women out there na nagmahal at nagbigay ng lahat at tinry nila i-balance &#x27;yung career nila with their personal life and taking care of the people they love. She was quite successful in that until she got this divorce,&quot; she said. </p><p>&quot;So when I got to read the script, first of all, English siya. So, from beginning to end, talagang American movie siya. Pero nakakatuwa kasi maraming Pilipino sa America. There are 4.6M Filipinos in Northern America. So, Filipino-Americans consider themselves their own breed of Filipino,&quot; she added. </p><p>&quot;I have spoken to some Filipino Americans who told me that. But so many Filipinos in America want to reconnect sa motherland, which is sa atin dito. So coming from, alam niyo naman homegrown ako dito, all of a sudden, listening to them na ang dami na nilang naging Hollywood projects. I really felt that it was time for us homegrown artists na lumaban sa international scene,” she continued. </p><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2023/2/16/kc-concepcion-goes-public-with-new-romance-on-valentine-s-day-1113"><strong>READ: Did KC Concepcion just confirm her new relationship?</strong></a></div><p>Having already been a decade since her last big screen project, KC said she has never taken her acting career for granted. </p><p>“I’ve always been serious from the start. It’s just a matter of, you know there are seasons in our lives, there are eras in your life, some people stick, some people don’t, and it’s important that even in friendship and love, na you keep people around you who are bagay sa kung saan ka na ngayon,&quot; she admitted. </p><p>&quot;So, some people we outgrow. We will forever be grateful. Some people are in it to win it and will be there with you until the end. Hopefully, I always pray about this, na ma-surround ako tamang entourage. Dati ayoko ng maraming kasama. Ngayon na-e-enjoy ko na,” she added.</p>
