The fan meeting also served as a special moment for Yuri and SONEs, as the latter had the opportunity to get to know the artist on a deeper level through various segments.

Filipino actress Denise Laurel, who hosted the event, asked Yuri about her tour, career and Filipino fans.

"I usually receive messages and letters from [Filipino] SONEs and I was shocked by the energy in the venue," Yuri said.

"If given the chance, I plan to visit Bohol for scuba diving," she added.

Yuri also shared photos and videos from a family trip to Australia, and her Los Angeles outing with fellow Girls' Generation members.

The idol did not hesitate to engage in games, one of which involved her learning and reciting Filipino tongue twisters, and try local snacks.
