The singer expressed his enthusiasm for the upcoming fan meet and highlighted his excitement to engage with his fans, play games, and sing songs from his latest album. “Time flies so fast [since] the last time [I] visited the Philippines [and] I’m looking forward to meeting the fans,” said Baekhyun (via his translator) in a one-on-one interview with ANC&#x27;s Rico Hizon.<div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/17385635560210-02-06-d60ab7ec15fda2091c13f9caa784ef2f5befec70d301999e40cb323dedf52ab4_35b62efe3013614d.jpg" style="width:500px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-fil"/>Back in December, the singer went viral for his Christmas Eve live where he serenaded and danced to his fans.

The fans would appreciate the memories behind those songs and so I will try my best to come back again with the full version of the songs that I sang during the live,” said Baekhyun, and expressed his delight in knowing that his fans enjoyed the live. Baekhyun revealed that he first took inspiration from American singer-songwriter and actor Brian McKnight for his love of music, but it was South Korean singer-songwriter and dancer Rain who truly inspired him to pursue a career as a singer, artist, and performer. “When I was in 6th grade in elementary, the song &#x27;It’s Raining&#x27; by Rain was released, and when I watched that performance, I really wanna be like him,” Baekhyun shared.<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/2024/4/16/sleek-moves-vocal-prowess-mark-baekhyun-s-manila-concert-1306">Sleek moves, vocal prowess mark Baekhyun’s Manila concert </a> If given a chance to film any of his future projects in the Philippines, he expressed his desire to visit Bohol. The singer revealed he was particularly mesmerized by the pristine cleanliness of the region’s beautiful waters, despite not seeing the place in person. “Ang ganda daw ng tubig ‘dun,” said Baekhyun’s interpreter. Baekhyun last visited Manila in April 2024 for his solo concert “Lonsdaleite” at the Araneta Coliseum.
