Heart Evangelista and Alexander Lee, together with their My Korean Jagiya co-stars, partied it up in SM City Bacolod to celebrate Masskara Festival with their Negrense fans. To their surprise, they were met with such an overwhelming amount of support that they were left speechless!

 

In an exclusive interview with GMA Network, Alexander talked about his amazing experience while at SM City Bacolod.

According to him, "Our mall show in Bacolod was a very shocking, overwhelming, and memorable trip. Words couldn’t express how we felt by the time we entered SM Bacolod. I was totally unprepared for such warm welcome, especially since I wasn’t expecting that many people to show up. I won’t forget the time we went down the escalator. As we went down, the number of the massive crowd was revealed and that made Heart and I speechless and tearful. We were so surprised that we looked at each other and were just overwhelmed. I had my sunglasses on at first to cover my tired eyes but I took it off not believing what I was seeing. We couldn’t believe that everyone was there for My Korean Jagiya. At that moment, I was holding back my tears so hard and thought all the hard work was worth it.”

Alexander also shared just how blessed he feels to be part of the success of My Korean Jagiya.

"I’m just so glad that My Korean Jagiya is bringing so much joy to the audience and I would love to give all the glory to God for giving me such good project. Even when we were in the airport waiting for our flight back to Manila, we were still trying to ‘digest’ what had happened. We are so thankful to everyone for showing their love and support for us," said he.

Heart also admitted over on Instagram that they were so touched by their fans warm reception that they even cried!

 

"Never in my wildest dreams did I think My Korean Jagiya would capture the hearts of so many people! Our mall show last night was truly overwhelming. Backstage, we were so moved that we were crying — hearing all of your screams and messages of support. We will never forget the love we felt! Jagiyas, you have my heart," she captioned.
