Group HORI7ON hit the hearts of the global fandom.

Last July 7, all of the concept photos of HORI7ON’s first full album “Friend-SHIP” was released through their official social media accounts.

HORI7ON was seen in the released photos with vivid color stylings and all members pulled it off like it was their own. All the seven members with enchanting eyes and visuals truly made an impact.

Most especially, they not only emphasized their youthful freshness with the hi-teen school look, they also showed off their own chemistry with the unit and group photos as well. This chemistry is creating bigger buzz towards the synergy they would be showing on stage soon.

In their first mall tour held, they gathered around 7000 fans – proving their influential power. They also sold out their fan meeting truly letting the birth of a world pop rookie be known.

As HORI7ON has been preparing for their Korean debut, the group also has been shooting a reality documentary “100 DAYS MIRACLE”. They recently announced its launch. As soon as the first episode of the reality was aired, it ranked 1st in the trending list of the Philippines with the group’s name ranking as well – proving their global popularity.

AN UNFORGETTABLE PROM WITH IVE AND DIVE

by Philippine KPOP Convention June 24, 2023

written by Philippine KPOP Convention

Last June 17, we experienced a very memorable night. We spent the night at prom and enjoyed great performances and fun games together with our prom queens, IVE.

As the lights dimmed and the crowed screamed, IVE appeared on the stage and performed fan-favorites like “After Like”, “Eleven” and “Love Dive”. They even expressed how excited they were to perform “Kitsch” and “I AM” for the very first time in this fan concert.

Everyone was surprised when Wonyoung and Rei walked the stage like a runway as they performed a cover of Meghan Trainor’s “Me Too”. Then the lights dimmed once more and we were serenaded by Yujin and Liz with Jessie J’s “Flashlight” and of course, Gaeul and Leeseo blew the crowd away as they performed a cover of Blackpink’s “Kill This Love”.

And since it was prom, everyone wanted to know who the prom queen was. So the members were split into three groups of two. Team Manila with Gaeul and Yujin, Team Couple with Rei and Liz and Team Halo-Halo with Wonyoung and Leeseo.

They played a quiz game where they had to answer facts about themselves. In the second game, they had to guess the song based on the dance pose of the shadow. The audience and the members both enjoyed this as they danced to different hit songs.

In the end, Wonyoung and Leeseo were declared prom queens. They got to wore a crown and a sash as they walked down to the second stage as they waved and sent hearts to Dive who were more than happy to receive their love.

The night ended with IVE wanting photos with the crowd but were soon met with tears as a surprise video was shown on the screen. They thanked Philippine Dive for their efforts and for their love and some of the members even felt really emotional specially Rei, who had only recently come back from a hiatus and was glad to perform again with all the members and meet their fans once more.

IVE The First Fan Concert, The Prom Queens in Manila, presented by DNM Entertainment, ended with a promise that they would come back and meet Philippine Dive again.
