The “It’s Showtime” host then asked the group what they love most about the country, to which Asahi said it is the support of their Filipino fans.

“Actually, pumunta kami last time dito para sa K-pop Masterz concert. Pero ngayon, bumalik po kami dahil may major solo concert kami as Treasure. Maraming Filipino fans ang naga-abang and nagsu-support kaya bumalik kami dito sa Manila,” Asahi said in response, according to the video’s subtitles.
