He revealed that it took them two to three hours to perfect a five-second part of their song, “SIX7EEN.”</p><p>“This was a very hard time for all seven of us. I mean training in general is really hard especially when we got there because we had so many things to adjust [to]. It was during preparations for SIX7EEN and it got really hard to the point where we would practice five seconds worth of ‘SIX7EEN’ for like two or three hours,” Marcus shared.</p><p>“That’s how perfect we want it to be. I remember we were all so burnt out and mentally tired that time. I definitely feel like preparation and training in general was very challenging for all of us,” he added.</p><p>Vinci, HORI7ON’s leader, admitted that during their first months in South Korea, the youngest member broke down while they were cooling down after one of their practices. </p><p>“Natandaan ko one time after practice, Marcus just started crying when we were cooling down,” Vince revealed. </p><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2023/8/11/ticket-prices-for-hori7on-s-concert-finally-revealed-2154" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>READ: Ticket prices for HORI7ON’s concert finally revealed</strong></a></div><p>Now that the global boy group successfully made their debut, they are gearing up for their first-ever concert at the Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City on Saturday, September 9. </p><p>The members expressed their gratitude towards their loyal fans, ANCHORs, who have been with them ever since the beginning of their journey––from <em>Dream Maker</em> until their eventual debut as HORI7ON.</p><p>“Salamat sa lahat ng suporta niyo sa amin, sa group namin.
