Wendy of Red Velvet after listening to Ben&Ben: “Their voice is so beautiful.” Read more:
Red Velvet's Wendy is making her Pinoy ReVeluvs the kilig they deserve after she followed a fan's advice to listen to the song “Maybe the Night” by OPM band Ben&Ben.
A fan with a username of “Dinniebear” posted the song recommendation on music app Lysn.
The fan wrote to Wendy, “Hi, Wendy! I saw you were listening to music and I wanted to recommend a band from the Philippines! Please listen to songs by Ben&Ben! I think you'll like them. Mahal kita.”
A few minutes later, Wendy then replied, “OMG! Their voice is so beautiful! Oh my. Thank you for your beautiful recommendation.”
The commendation received so much love that it eventually reached the OPM band by quote-retweeting a fan who posted the same Lysn conversation.
They wrote on Twitter, “Woahh! Thank you, Wendy! @RVsmtown”

Fans of Ben&Ben were eagerly excited to see how another Korean act commended the group's vocals and talent.
Some netizens even suggested that the two should collaborate in the future which would delight Filipino ReVeluvs and Ben&Ben fans.

This isn't the first time a Korean act has taken notice of the group.
In May last year, Ben&Ben found out that the K-pop boy group The Boyz has discovered one of their songs and liked it.
In a tweet, the indie-folk band said they discovered that The Boyz posted their song “Maybe the Night” in their fan cafe.
