"I think it's a privilege for us Filipinos na mabigyan ng opportunity na mag-promote sa Korea. I think the Filipino culture inside of us, madadala namin siya inevitably and naturally sa global stage," Malizon said.

"Even if we're training with Korean coaches, there are also Filipino coaches who will train, and I think 'yun 'yung magandang dynamic na mabibigay sa aming 'Dream Chasers,' kasi we get the true experience of the collaboration between South Korea and [the] Philippines," he added.

With the rise of non-Korean artists in the K-pop scene, Marcus Cabais said he similarly aims to bring pride to the Philippines.

"I think it's going to come naturally. Of course, us Filipinos won't become like a different nationality. In the K-pop industry right now there are some non-Korean idols too," he said.

"It's very common now actually so it will just be the same for us."
