00:23Especially the Philpaw, ha?
00:26But this is new, Chesca.
00:27Let's give them a quick background.
00:29They're a multicultural group.
00:31Four of them from South Korea.
00:33One from Australia.
00:34One from China.
00:35One from Japan.
00:36One from Taiwan.
00:37And one from your very own Philippines.
00:39Wow!
00:40They debuted last July.
00:41But with the release of their first mini-album,
00:44Who We Are Lead, with their single,
00:47Rendezvous.
00:48Yeah, that's their lead single, Rendezvous.
00:50But their debut quickly made waves.
00:52You can see how hot they're holding on.
00:55And that includes hitting a high chart position in Korea.
00:59Wow!
01:00They performed on major music shows such as Inkigayo.
01:02And held fan events internationally.
01:05Including the Philippines last August.
01:08That's great, Chesca.
01:11But here's my heart.
01:12Let's not make this any longer.
01:14Let's welcome the all-time Hall of Famer, our...

02:33I'm so sorry.
02:34I'm so sorry.
02:35Yes!
02:36I'm so sorry.
02:37That was cute.
02:38I'm so sorry.
02:39I'm so sorry.
02:41Yay!
02:42Yay!
02:43Yay!
02:44Oh, my goodness.
02:45Lovely to have you here, guys.
02:46Thank you so much for spending time with us.
02:48Yes.
02:49And, of course, last August, guys, you held your first fancon for the Filofoha.
02:54How was the experience with the Filipino fans?
02:56Filipino fans were unforgettable.
02:59The energy was amazing.
03:00It was really loud, emotional, and honest.
03:03It felt like family the first time we went on stage.
03:08It was really an unforgettable experience, and being surrounded by nearly 10,000 Filipino fans
03:26who came to see us made me feel like I was standing in the center of the universe.
03:30I want to ask you now, since we're going to 2026, what are the things that you're thankful for this 2025?
03:37I'm thankful for our successful debut, and I'm also thankful for the first place.
03:51Because we made our debut ourselves!
03:53Yay!
03:54Yay!
03:55Yeah!
03:56Congratulations!
03:57Congratulations!
03:58For JL, as a Filipino, is there a difference between the Christmas holidays in Korea and in the Philippines?
04:08I can't say, but there's a big difference when it comes to holidays in Korea and in the Philippines.
04:14One thing is, I think, we Filipinos, originally, we love celebrating, right?
04:19Like, when we have the Noche Buena, and then, when I spent my two years in Korea, they celebrate as well, but I think,
04:27it's just different from our celebration when it comes to the Philippines.
04:31Like, we're going to die up until 12 a.m., and then, together with fans, something like that.
04:35An open day!
04:36Yeah, yeah, yeah!
04:37Here, when it comes to September, it's only Christmas, right?
04:39Yes!
04:40Only there's a burn-up!
04:41Here, I have a follow-up question for JL.
04:43You said it's different for Korea and the Philippines, but if you were to choose, where would you want to spend your holidays?
04:47Uh, I would love…
04:49It's going someplace else!
04:51It's not in Korea or Philippines.
04:52But, I think, since I spent my Christmas holidays in Korea, I think, this time, I want to spend it with my family.
05:01You're Filipinos, so that's it.
05:04Lovely to have you here!
05:05You're spending your New Year with us here in the Philippines!
05:07Yeah, that's really cute!
05:09And what are the best or memorable experiences for you guys this 2025?
05:15Yeah, we've been watching the first fan concert in Manila, and I still watch the videos from that amazing day.
05:33But, here, Naman, what are the best or memorable experiences for you guys?
05:38I mean, what are you looking forward to by the next year? We just talked about 2025, so I know there are more things coming for you this 2026.
05:44So, what are you looking forward to next year?
05:47Uh, meet our fans a lot. This would be our best goal, I think.
05:54Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
05:55Yes.
05:56Thank you so much, JL!
05:57Yeah! And here, what should FOHA look forward to at AHOP in 2026?
06:13Um, I think growth, stronger music, and sharper performances, and clearer AHOP identity.
06:20We can't wait, guys. We can't wait. We can't wait to see more of you guys.
06:25For sure.
06:26And I'm sure all the FOHA are also waiting for you guys.
