What can
visitors do, eat, and see when they are in Korea?
NU’EST’s
Aron answered “If you guys like shopping, you’d want to go to Dong Dae Mun,
there is a lot of clothes there and are all very cheap. You guys can also try out Korean food like
Kimbap (Sushi/ Rice roll) and Ddeokbukki (spicy rice cakes). There are a lot of
food out there, but I would highly suggest you have FUN in korea.”

beautiful and the beach is very nice, where people can receive “healing” there.

other groups that has sexy concept, however they love their cutie concept like

The two
idol groups and all the other VIPs ended their opening words and headed off

having prepared a lot for this day, they are very happy to see their fans in
Singapore.
As the MC

with her fellow members. Namjoo chose the Marina Bay Sands’ rooftop infinity
pool! She really wants to try swimming in there. Hayoung said “for me, I’d love
to go to the Istana Park because it is very elegant.”
Mentioning
A-Pink in Singapore, they shared that receiving the Newcomer Award at the MAMA
Awards back in 2011 meant a lot to them as it was their first ever award after
debut.
2 years has
passed since then, what changed for the girls?
“we are getting more
responsibility and pressure to perform well now since we’re not rookies
anymore.”
Eunji even said her personality changed! She was once a very shy
girl, but now, she is very happy to be able to interact with the fans well.
Naeun enjoys the fact that more oversea activities are held so she is very
pleased to meet fans overseas.
Now, a
pretty sensitive question!
Which member seems to be the most popular in Singapore?
Chorong nominated Bomi because that is the first name she saw fans holding at
the airport after they’ve landed in Singapore.
The MC then
asked, which member is the most charismatic and why? Naeun think it’s Hayoung
because even though she is the maknae, she is very matured. Hayoung chose Eunji
because she is very down to earth and cool. Eunji chose leader Chorong because

smiling, and is always there to cheer people up.
