Korean heartthrob Seo In Guk gave his Filipino fans or "Heartriders" a night to remember following his triumphant first-ever Asia fan meeting tour at New Frontier Theater on August 12.
Among his performances were renditions of 'My Love,' 'Tease Me,' 'Bebe,' 'Saranghae U,' 'All for You,' and the official soundtrack of his latest Korean drama 'Cafe Minamdang,' the heartfelt 'I Like You.'
But what truly melted the hearts of his 'Filo Heartriders' was when he affectionately inquired about them and referred to them as his "BEBEs."
"KAMUSTA NA KAYO MGA BEBE KO?"
