Prior to BTOB's show in Manila at the Mall of Asia Arena, Peniel, Changsub, Eunkwang, Hyunsik, and Minhyuk sat down with the press to talk about their long-awaited return to the country. Unfortunately, Sungjae wasn't able to join the group due to his schedule.

As this was the group's first visit to Manila after about seven years, the members deeply expressed their gratitude to their fans who have been supporting them continuously. "We missed you so much!" they said.

Last month, BTOB commemorated their 12th anniversary of being together in the industry, and the boys credited their fans, Melodys, for being the reason behind their longevity. "We know deep in our hearts that it is all because of our fans."

On their pre-show routines, Eunkwang showed off how he is warming up his vocals. "We also make sure that we eat before going on stage," he added.

When asked about the Filipino food they want to try, Peniel said that, so far, he has eaten only halo-halo that he compared it to Korean shaved ice, Bingsu, describing it as "coconut-y," but he would like to try chicken or pork adobo too. 

The members brought up Sungjae when they were asked about who is coming up with the ideas behind their funny TikTok videos. "Miss you, Sungjae!" Eunkwang expressed. "He has a brilliant mind when it comes to making these types of videos."

Hyunsik then answered "Only One For Me" when asked which song is their favorite to sing with their fans, pointing the microphone to the fans who were at the press conference to let them sing a verse. He also shared that he often visited the Philippines' beaches for a vacation.

"I love you all!" said Minhyuk toward the end of the conference.
