Armed with all their learnings from its rigorous and extensive training in South Korea, all-Filipino global pop group HORI7ON is raring to display their development, talents, and other surprises for their first major concert in Manila September 9.

“We’re gonna show you how much HORI7ON has improved, ipapakita namin sa inyo ‘yong lahat-lahat na talaga...,” Marcus, the group’s designated bunso said in a recent press conference.

The seven-piece boy band is gearing up to rock The Big Dome Araneta Coliseum for their Friend-SHIP: Voyage to Manila concert, where ANCHORs (their fandom) will also get to see never-been-done performances and solo stages.

The concert is in support of their 12-track album Friend-SHIP where they attempt to meld the best of Ppop and Kpop (equals "World Pop"?).

Vinci, Kim, Kyler, Reyster, Winston, Jeromy, and Marcus came back home to the Philippines last Monday after making their official debut in South Korea last July.

During the aforementioned press conference, the members of HORI7ON described their K-training as “generally hard” and “very challenging” as they attempted to polish their performance of lead single “SIX7EEN” to perfection for different music programs in the East Asian country.
