Meanwhile, their Mexico visit last year impressed Kim because of the huge support they received from the fans. Aside from these, they fondly reminisce about their debut concert at the Araneta Coliseum, engaging in School Attack visits at various schools in South Korea, and participating in music shows.
Reflecting on these memorable moments, one particular event they are always grateful for is when HORI7ON received the “AAA FOCUS AWARD” at the Asia Artist Awards 2023. They shared that their win was completely unexpected yet profoundly unforgettable.
“We really grew a lot as HORI7ON in terms of skills and chemistry. For the past year in Korea, we had many conflicts and ups and downs. I think through the hard times that we experienced, our bond together has been stronger but skill-wise, I think the person who grew the most is Kuya Kyler,” shared Marcus, the youngest member of HORI7ON, when questioned about the member who experienced the most significant growth.
When discussing about being a global pop group, HORI7ON acknowledged that mastering different languages and understanding diverse cultures presents a challenge. However, they expressed their openness to learning and embracing new experiences as they strive to connect with fans worldwide on a global scale.
Their newest single ‘LUCKY’ will once again encapsulate the cheerful and youthful side of the group. This hi-teen vibrant confession song expresses affection for their loved ones.
