UNIS treats Filipino fans to an unforgettable ‘UNIS in CURIOUS Land’ fancon with captivating performances

On October 24, 2024, UNIS, the K-pop girl group, held a media convention at the Sheraton Manila Hotel in Pasay, just before their highly anticipated fan event, ‘UNIS in CURIOUS Land.’

After their fan meeting in May 2024, this marked the girl group’s second performance in the Philippines. They expressed gratitude for their fans’ support, which allowed them to return sooner than anticipated.

“Yes, and I think I’ll be speaking on behalf of all the members when I say that we’re really thankful for the ever-afters in the Philippines who showed so much love and support ever since the beginning,” Elisia said.

UNIS added that they are ecstatic that they were able to return to the country and made such good memories from their previous fan meeting earlier this year.

“We made so many good memories, and it was such a meaningful experience, and I have confidence in saying that I feel like we’ve improved so much since then and developed so ang masasabi ko nalang ay abangan ‘niyo lang po ang aming fancon [All I can say is just wait for our fan con],” Ghelee said.

Hyeonju, the oldest member of the group, said that this would be the first time they’ll be performing the songs from their single album ‘Curious’ on stage.

“We also have special stages prepared. And these special stages, you’ll only be able to see these at the event mismo [itself],” Elisia added.

She also said that UNIS prepared for the Fancon by teaching, the other members Tagalog.

“A little bit of a TMI, the members often ask a lot about Tagalog to me and Ate Gehlee and, syempre [of course] as first-time teachers, we worked really hard to teach them. And thankfully, the other members they’re trying their best to understand us and they’re actually doing really well, I think,” she stated.

Kotoko added that it was kind of hard for her as the group would be showing a lot of new choreographies for the stage performances.

UNIS is also aiming to promote their name to more audiences and hopes that once the audience here their name, they would think of their group as someone who represents this generation.

The group also said that they are looking forward to collaborating with the nation’s girl group BINI.

“Yeah, well, us UNIS kasi, we had the chance to do a cover of our Ates from BINI’s Pantropiko […], and since then, I think it would be really interesting for BINi and UNIS, a K-pop girl group, to come together and work together and just make their own new concoction or a new song,” Elisia said.

UNIS ended their mediacon by performing two of their songs, ‘Curious’ and ‘Poppin.’
