Looks like this K-pop band is a huge OPM fan.
J Morning recently uploaded a video on the Internet showing two members of the band performing Freddie Aguilar’s “Anak” in J Morning’s “acoustic style”.
“Because many people from the Philippines requested ‘Anak’ we sang it in J Morning’s acoustic style. This is out gift for you because we are thankful for you all. We love you, Philippines. We thanks [sic] you, Philippines,” the band writes in the caption.
K-pop followers, of course, know that this isn’t the first time — or the first Filipino song — that the frequent Philippine visitors perform.
As early as 2012, J Morning already included “Anak” in their set list, performing it while touring the Philippines that year. In August, it sang it again in a concert in Korea.
Meanwhile, “Pusong Bato”, that song Jovit Baldivinio popularized in 2013, has made its way into J-Morning’s set list, too.
Interesting song choices, to say the least.
