At every fansigning event, UNIS members were welcomed by loud cheers.
At the Metrotent Convention Center, fans braved the heat just to see UNIS. Members of UNIS had a great time signing autographs and interacting with fans.
“Hi, everyone. We are UNIS!” said leader Hyeon-ju whose father is Korean and her mother is Filipino. She was born and raised in South Korea.
Each member greeted the crowd.
“Hello po. I’m Nana. I love you po,” said Nana.
“Hello. I’m Yunha. Thank you for coming today. I’m so glad to meet you guys. Thank you po,” said Yunha.
Hyeon-ju said, “Hi, Philippines. Kamusta po kayo? Ako si Hyeon-ju (How are you? I am Hyeon-ju).”
“Hi po. Ako si Yoona,” said Yoona.
“I love you po,” said Kotoko.
Seowon said, “Hello, Manila! I love you po.”

“We can still vividly hear the fans’ shouts and cheers. This was our first performance in the Philippines. Thank you for creating a happy memory. I hope this meeting will remain as a precious memory for you all to remember for a long time. We will become UNIS who repays the favor with an even better image in the future,” said UNIS through their agency, F&F Entertainment.
