INFINITE, TAHITI and U-KISS: Playful With Media at Dream K-pop Fantasy Concert Press Con in Manila

The press conference for the Dream K-pop Fantasy Concert (DKFC) in Manila started with quick interviews with the DREAM 19 Dancers who were the winners from the DKFC Dance Contest held in preparation for this event. They then danced to a medley of hit songs from the artists performing at the concert. The group will also share the stage and be the opening act for DKFC.

First one up for the press conference was U-KISS, who immediately talked about how they have missed the Filipino KissMe's. With this concert being their fourth time in Manila, Eli mentioned that what they miss the most is the beautiful hot weather in the Philippines especially now that it is very cold in Korea. U-KISS also talked about wanting to try more Filipino foods and quickly asked the audience for any recommendations. Kevin said that the Philippines will always be a part of their hearts as this is where they held their first concert.

KpopStarz asked U-KISS to describe the member next to them as a dessert. The members loved the question and were very enthusiastic in answering it.

Kevin to Hoon: "Cheesecake. It's very soft and gentle to the mouth. Hoon is as soft as a cheesecake."

Hoon to Soo Hyun: "Chocolate. His voice is as sweet as chocolate."

Soo Hyun to Kiseop: "Strawberry, which appears sweet and red, so you can attribute it to being sexy."

Kiseop to Dong Ho: "Soft ice cream. Dong Ho is growing his hair now and it's long and soft. Also, if you look into his eyes, he has a very soft look."

Dong Ho to Eli: "Coffee, because the coffee is addicting. If you smell the aroma of coffee, it's a smell you can't forget. Eli is like that, once you know him, he's hard to forget."

Eli to Kevin: "Apple pie because it's sweet and warm."

They were also asked about Valentines and Dong Ho talked about wanting to receive chocolates made by fans. As for their future activities, Kevin said they are preparing for their third album in Korea and hopes that fans look forward to it and enjoy.

Next were the lovely ladies from TAHITI, who also loved the Manila weather. After their self-introductions, they talked about wanting to visit Cebu. They were asked for any fashion tips and advised to not overdress and always wear something comfortable. When asked for any groups or seniors that they look up to, Jin quickly answered BoA. Lastly, they showcased their hidden talents where Jin sang a 2NE1 song, Ari showed her flexibility and Ji Soo did a sexy dance.

Closing the press conference was INFINITE. They said they were surprised and did not expect to have a lot of fans in the Philippines. In talking about the rising popularity of K-pop internationally, they were very happy about it and as K-pop stars, and were proud of it as well. They think the fans are the greatest motivation and happiness and they really appreciate everyone's support.

Although members currently promoting as Infinite-H (Hoya and Dong Woo) were not present at the press conference, the other members were asked about their opinion on Hoya's performance as an actor in the very successful drama "Respond 1997." Sung Yeol said that they were surprised at Hoya's really good performance and that they are proud of him. 

Sung Jong talked about being interested in anything related to swimming if he gets the chance to take a week's vacation in the Philippines. When asked about their favorite INFINITE dance, Woo Hyun immediately showed the Scorpion dance and gamely did it again when asked to repeat and show the audience. As for future plans, they want to continue to meet the fans with good songs and perform in all parts of Asia.

Girls Generation, EXO and Tasty arrived on a later date, and were not able to participate in the press conference.
