Ahead of their highly anticipated “Daytour: Anchor High” concert in Manila, HORI7ON spent a short spectacular night with the members of the press last October 18, 2024. Hosted by JinHo Bae, the group comprised of, Vinci, Kim, Kyler, Reyster, Winston, Jeromy, and Marcus answered questions about their journey and lessons as an artist, and their concert preparations.
HORI7ON’s ANCHORS
Celebrating one year in the industry, the group reminisced their most memorable moments as artists. The group’s leader, Vinci, stated that performing in South Korea as HORI7ON is always a dream come true. Winston noted that their first concert allowed them to showcase their talents in front of their anchors, and their fandom name was revealed at their first fan meeting, making it even more memorable for Jeromy.
Anchors have always held a special place in HORI7ON’s heart, as their second concert is named after their loving fandom. “Ngayon kasama na sila (Anchors) sa second concert namin kasi we really wanted to involve the people behind and beside us throughout the journey,” Vinci remarked.
“We really wanted this (concert) to be more connected for our audience compared to the first one. We want it to feel like an Anchor High for everyone. I promise that our performances are gonna shock everyone. I hope everyone is looking forward to it as much as we are,” Marcus stated.
HORI7ON’s JOURNEY
Their growth as an artist can be visibly seen thru their performances and the Anchors appreciate how much effort the members put into everything they make. With this, the group shared the most important lesson they’ve learned as artists.
Kim claimed that he learned how to get along with others and express his love in ways he couldn’t before. Winston’s most significant lesson is resilience, as they have managed to stay united as HORI7ON despite all they’ve been through. Marcus noted that everyone has been able to make quick adjustments to adapt to their path, while Reyster learned how to manage stress, finding that being happy allows him to achieve more.
DAYTOUR: ANCHOR HIGH
Vinci said that Anchor High marks the end of a chapter for them, saying, “We want this to be a closing page to a chapter of HORI7ON’s era kasi so far, we have been showing sides of youthfulness and natural sides namin. Eventually, we’re going to grow up and mature as we age, so the concept and music goes along with that, and I’m so excited for finally closing this chapter,” he said.
Kyler proudly announced that this time, the members had the chance to choose their performances, particularly the solo stages. Marcus and Vinci also revealed that they will play exclusive songs that they had co-written. Jeromy stated that they will show their different sides when he invites the Anchors to their upcoming concert. When asked to describe their concert in one word, the members answered, “level up,” “dark,” “transformation,” and “amazing,” which added to the excitement to the members of the press.
As the press conference concludes, Vinci, Kim, Kyler, Reyster, Winston, Jeromy, and Marcus express their gratitude to their anchors and the media for their unwavering support.
