During this part of the show, Bo Hyun shared that one thing he does to relieve stress is to meet up with some of his close friends. Cycling and drinking are some things he does when catching up with his friends.

Bo Hyun also shared that he is usually the type to keep it all to himself when he is under stress, telling his fans that he thinks that a lot of health concerns are actually due to stress.

Because of this, he endearingly told his fans that when they are under a lot of stress, they shouldn’t keep it all to themselves and find a way to relieve their stress.

During the second part of the show, Bo Hyun went down the stage and around the theater to be up and personal with his fans. Bo Hyun showcased his singing yet again by doing a cover of “Until I Found You” by Stephen Sanchez.

Bo Hyun also did not shy away from playing with his Filipino fans! He showed his playful and competitive side during the “Boss Relay” segment. Lucky fans received photocards and signed posters.

Bo Hyun was very generous towards his Filipino fans. Some fans even had their personal items signed by the actor. Other fans were even luckier, as they got to keep items from Bo Hyun himself— signed shirts from the “Flex X Cop” official merchandise.
