Arabelle Dela Cruz shares what it's like meeting Tiffany Young

Arabelle Dela Cruz has nothing but praise for “Veiled Cup” judge and Girls' Generation member Tiffany Young after the former's stint in the South Korean talent show. 

In an interview with GMA News Online on Wednesday, the “Veiled Cup” champion looked back on her meeting with the K-pop star. 

“Ang bait-bait. Ang ganda-ganda ni Tiffany. I’m very, very happy. Ang warm niya sa mga contestant. Hindi mo talaga i-e-expect,” Arabelle shared. 

She went on to describe Tiffany as “super encouraging” to her fellow contestants. 

“Super encouraging niya. Like even off-cam. Kapag nakaramdam siya na may kinakabahan sa contestants, grabe ‘yung cheer niya. So sobrang nakakatuwa din na nandoon si Tiffany,” she added.

Tiffany was among the judges of “Veiled Cup” alongside i-dle's Miyeon, 10cm's Kwon Jung-yeol, Paul Kim, Ailee, and Henry Lau.

Tiffany also joined Julie Anne San Jose, Rita Daniela and Mark Bautista as the panel of judges in “Veiled Musician Philippines" in November 2025.

Arabelle, or "Laguna Diva," went on to win the competition after her performance of "Feeling Good."

"Veiled Cup Korea" is a reality singing show where the singers perform behind a veil and are only known by their nicknames and hometowns.

Arabelle was the only Filipino to advance to the grand finals.

Fellow Filipino singers Garrett Bolden and Thea Astley were also part of the competition.
