She shares, “Throughout my training years [in Star Magic], I had a couple of friends and they were really big fans of K-pop, and that’s where I got introduced to K-pop as well as K-dramas. One of the remarkable friends who were really, like, into K-pop is, I would say, Belle Mariano and, as well as Charlie Dizon. She also had experiences here, too. She was a really big fan of, like, big K-pop groups here, too. Because of them, I was kind of introduced to K-pop.”
