Rising K-pop group NCT Wish expressed excitement to reconnect with Filipino fans as they prepare to usher in a new musical era, highlighting the Philippines’ passionate audience during a recent press conference ahead of their ‘INTO THE WISH: Our Wish’ concert in Manila.

The group shared that they are looking forward to performing again for Philippine Czennies (NCT Wish’s fandom name).

Member Riku recalled the overwhelming energy from fans during their previous visit. “Last year during our ‘Log In’ concert in the Philippines, I witnessed the hot and passionate energies of Czennies,” Riku said. “Hopefully, tomorrow as well we can see the high energy of the Philippine Czennies,” he added.

Moreover, Ryo echoed the sentiment, noting how Filipino fans’ enthusiasm on stage creates a special connection with the group. “The songs while we perform on stage—we feel your energies to the point that it really gets heartwarming while the crowd cheers,” he said. “It actually makes performing difficult songs easier.”

Beyond the performances, the members also shared their excitement about experiencing Filipino culture again, particularly local food. It will be their second time visiting the Philippines, and they said they are eager to try popular treats such as halo-halo and ice cream.

Fans and hosts also suggested that the group taste local favorites like sisig and the iconic Jollibee chicken.

Leader Sion emphasized that the group has been preparing extensively for their upcoming release. “We have prepared very well for this album, and hopefully we will be supported by Philippine Czennies for the album of NCT Wish,” he said.

Following their concert tour, the group revealed plans to release their first full-length album, marking a new chapter in their career—one they hope to celebrate together with their Filipino fans.
