Some fans were also able to have a short conversation with Joshua.
They told the Kpop star that they failed to secure a concert ticket for SEVENTEEN WORLD TOUR [BE THE SUN] – Manila next month.
In a sad voice, Joshua asked them why they failed to buy a ticket, the fan said.
The Kpop group’s two-day Manila concert was soldout in July, and many fans failed to buy a ticket.

Despite not having secured a concert ticket, the fan said, “I realized that even though some things are not meant for you, God will find a way if it’s meant to happen!”
The Kpop idol introduced his fans to his mother, a fan shared.
Another fan also found Joshua at a coffee shop in Pasay City.
“At first hindi ako naniwala kase alam ko nasa States pa siya. But after niya tanggalin yung mask niya, ayun confirmed,” a Twitter user said.
She also secured a signature from the Korean singer.
