FRESH from the South Korean reality competition “Universe Ticket” of SBS, upcoming K-pop girl group UNIS—which has three Filipina members—will visit the Philippines to meet their Filipino fans for the first time.

Local organizer CDM Entertainment announced that UNIS will hold its “U&iS Fansign Philippine Tour” for three days in the country. The fansigning event will kick off on May 4 in Cebu and will continue in Manila on May 5 and 6.

“Filipino fans, this is your chance to meet the new gen of K-POP,” it said.

Meanwhile, the girl group also reposted the organizer’s announcement on its official X (formerly Twitter) account.

Details about exact venues and ticket prices for the event have not been revealed yet.

UNIS has eight members who hailed from three different countries: South Korea, Japan, and the Philippines. They are Elisia Parmisano, Gehlee Dangca, Jin Hyeon-ju, Bang Yunha, Lim Seowon, Oh Yoona, Nana, and Kotoko. Parmisano and Dangca are from the Philippines, while Jin is a Filipina-Korean.

They won against 74 other aspiring K-pop idols in the “Universe Ticket,” where they all showcased their exceptional skills in singing, dancing, and rap.

The official debut of UNIS in the K-pop scene is slated for March 27, under South Korean record label F&F Entertainment. The eight members will promote as a group for two years and six months.

Apart from the fansigning event, another project that is in the pipeline for UNIS is their first mini album titled “WE UNIS.”
