Electrifying performances blazed the Araneta Coliseum stage on Saturday (September 9) as all-Filipino global pop group HORI7ON fulfilled their promise to give their Filo ANCHORs the best stage and best version of themselves.
HORI7ON was overwhelmed by the warm support they received from their fans at their first-ever concert in Manila titled "HORI7ON 1ST CONCERT: Friend-SHIP [Voyage To Manila]," which happened 47 days since they made their world stage debut on July 24.
"I really want to say thank you all for coming today. You know, to be honest when we were still in Korea, I was super worried for this concert because I thought that not a lot of people would come because we just debuted. I didn't expect for so many people to be here tonight so I'm grateful. Thank you guys so much for all the support," Marcus said to their fans.
