B1A4 thanked Filipino BANAs and teased them about their upcoming album, while VIXX’s Hyuk expressed his desire to come back in the country with his “Hanggang sa muli!” message to their fans.
BTOB’s Sungjae praised Filipinos with his personal message: “I know you guys are hot, please watch our performances and you will be hotter,” followed by laughs from the media. BTOB is one of the most awaited acts for the Super Pop Con because of Sungjae’s role in the popular Korean drama “Goblin.”
