Next day, we visited the concert’s official media partners, ABS-CBN and its affiliate channel MYX. We watched the noontime variety show “It’s Showtime” and I participated with their segments: Sine Mo To (parody of a specific story every week which acted by the hosts and selected persons from the audience who will win cash prizes from the show) and Arte Mo (game segment that the studio contestants play and the MC asks questions and sets of multiple choice answers in which the choices were acted by the hosts). Then later that same day, BoA, Yunho, Leeteuk, Kai, Kris, Amber, Jonghyun and I appeared in MYX Daily Top 10 with VJ Nikki. Plus, each of us had MYX performances and an exclusive interview with VJ Bianca in her show Pop MYX: K-Pop Edition.
