So what does he think of the dreaded Manila heavy traffic? “We’ve been trying to avoid it and so far, so good. They’ve taken us around Manila and we’re lucky we haven’t seen the worst of the traffic situation here. They also took me to Davao to help promote ‘My Korean Jagiya’ there in a mall show and we had a nice experience.”
Did he leave a girlfriend in Korea? “No. I have none at the moment. I have had girlfriends before but eventually, we broke up because I’m a workaholic. You see, my career is really my priority and I want to be very stable before I make a serious commitment in a relationship because dating takes a lot of time, money, energy, so I want to work first and build up my career. And I’m happy that this new door opened for me to work here in Manila.”
How did he feel when he was told he’d be doing a show in Manila? “When my manager told someone is interested in me, I asked, what station? He said, GMA, and I said, Oh, I know GMA. That was because when I was a member of U Kiss, we had a concert here and we promoted it in ‘Party Pilipinas’ and in ‘Walang Tulugan’ of Kuya Germs, who was very nice to us, so I really felt sad when I was told that he had passed away.”
He’s happy that the first episodes of “My Korean Jagiya” did well at the ratings and his wish now is for it to be a big, big hit with local televiewers. “So I can stay here longer because I really love it here. And I wish we could also get the chance to show it in Korea.”
Meantime, Alexander is very pleased that his video with Heart on GMA Facebook has had more than one million hits. This is the video where Heart is shown teaching him how to speak Filipino words correctly. A lot of viewers found it so very funny.
