The decision to collaborate with Universal Records and GLXY Talent Management stemmed from promising discussions with Ms. Kathleen Dy-Go of Universal Records in Korea last year. “We talked about so many exciting possibilities, and I felt completely confident in working with them. That’s why I’m here now,” he shared.

While in the country, Choi immersed himself in the local culture by trying Filipino cuisine, including barbecue and lechon kawali. Taking advantage of the tropical weather, he also took some time to relax, saying, “I went swimming—it’s freezing in Korea right now, but the climate here is just perfect.”
