K-drama actor Ahn Bo Hyun revealed that he wanted to explore more of the destinations in the Philippines after hearing good things from his friends who had visited the country.
During a press conference, the See You in My 19th Life star expressed his desire to have a vacation in the country after doing his fan meeting here.
“I was really curious about [the] Philippines but you know, for now, I just have sight-seen the Philippines inside the car. But after the event, I’m actually kind to spend more time here in the Philippines,” said Bo Hyun.
The Korean star was in Manila for the first time to meet his Filipino fans more up close.
“This is my first time to come here for an official event. So, I’m very honored to be here,” he stated.
He also shared that he was supposed to visit the country before but missed the opportunity due to a conflict of schedule.
“Actually, I had the opportunity to visit the Philippines with my friends before but due to the schedule, I had to cancel my flight,” the Korean actor added.
Upon their return to Korea, his friends then could not stop talking about the beauty of Boracay, especially its waves.
“My friends were bragging to me how great Boracay was and how they enjoyed its big waves. And you know, after trying out the Philippine waves, they cannot do it again in Korea,” he continued.
With all the good things he heard about the Philippines, Bo Hyun became curious and wanted to experience the country himself.
“So, if ever I’m given the opportunity, anywhere like Palawan, Boracay, Cebu. Anywhere would be good for my family,” shared Bo Hyun.
“Among the many cities in the tours that I’ve been [to], this is the first city where I’m having a vacation as well. I’m very excited because many of my friends have visited here in the Philippines. They love this country so much,” he added.
In terms of food, Bo Hyun said that he had gotten to try some of the familiar Filipino cuisines he knew and found them delicious.
“I was able to figure out some similar foods here in the Philippines that are in Korea. Luckily, I was able to see some of them during my breakfast at the hotel, so I was able to try some. Not a lot, but they are very delicious,” said the Itaewon Class actor.
Presented by Wilbros Live, Ahn Bo Hyun held his Asia Tour Fan Meeting Manila on May 25 at the New Frontier Theater.
