Actress and avid K-pop fan Arci Muñoz did not mince her words when a netizen questioned her out of the country visits to catch her favorite Korean boy band BTS. In a heated discussion, a social media user questioned how Muñoz affords the costly trips, to which Muñoz quickly responded to by saying she gets her travel money through honest hard work.

The actress jetted off to New York, United States recently to watch the said K-pop group, who was a part of the city’s annual Times Square Ball Drop event to welcome the new year. Muñoz shared a view of the snowy New York City nightlife on her Instagram account last Saturday, Jan. 4.

“The city that never sleeps but always dreams!” Muñoz said.
