Korean actor Hwang In-youp is a solid fan of Filipino foods!

During the press conference organized by BYS Cosmetics and Wilbros Live on June 19, host Sam Oh and the media were surprised when Hwang In-youp said that he missed eating kwek-kwek (deep-fried quail egg) in the Philippines.

The 31-year-old Korean star shared, "The Philippines has very good food. In fact, after this, I will go straight to having Filipino food.”

Aside from the popular Pinoy street food, the Korean heartthrob also loves to eat halo-halo and pineapple.

He also revealed that he misses going to some popular fast food chains in the country where he used to visit a long time ago.

Philippines and Filipinos are very close to In-youp's heart because he stayed in Davao for four years where he graduated high school and took up a fashion course in college.

“I'm very happy to be back in the Philippines, a country that I love. [The Philippines] is close to my heart because it's a place that I've lived in.

So, to receive this kind of love from fans is fascinating and I'm so thankful,” In-youp told the media during the event prior to his first fan meet in PH.

Currently, the actor is starring in the ongoing Korean television series 'Why Her?' and also in the original Netflix series The Sound of Magic.
