It's Showtime host Anne Curtis was feeling all the kilig vibes as she took to the stage to host a segment at South Korean superstar Park Seo Joon's fan meet.
The event titled Fit for Any Role was organized by Century Tuna and Wilbros Live, attracting thousands of fans to the Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City on Saturday, July 12, 2025.
The crowd erupted with excitement when Seo Joon made his much-anticipated appearance on stage.
Anne warmly greeted the Korean actor and, with a shy smile, added, "Welcome to the Century Tuna family!"
PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) shared this exact moment on social media, and the video has since garnered over 2.7 million views on Instagram Reels, leaving many fans envious of Anne.

Anne had yet another kilig moment as the evening transitioned into a culinary delight.
In one segment of the fan meet, Seo Joon delighted the audience by sharing one of his personal favorite recipes.
The dish, though simple, was a delectable combination of seaweed wrap, rice, kimchi, and, of course, tuna.
With the help of a translator, he said: "In Korea, culturally, whenever children don't like to eat, what the parents do is they put rice in seaweed and they would eat it a lot.
"So seeing this recipe makes me reminisce about my childhood, too."
Seo Joon prepared this easy tuna recipe on the spot with Anne, and the Kapamilya star was the first to taste it during the event.
When asked how it was, Anne gave her approval and said, "It was so good! I love it! I love the spice the kimchi gives to the tuna. This is my first time to try this recipe and I think I'll do it again."

Besides Anne, several attendees had the chance to try the tuna recipe, personally handed to them by Seo Joon.
Some lucky fans enjoyed a memorable close encounter with Seo Joon as they were selected to participate in various segments and games such as "PSJ’s Squats, Jumps, and Lunges" (Hep Hep Hooray style); the "Telepathy" game, where they mirrored poses; and "Pinoy Henyo."
The highlight of the night for one lucky fan was winning a quiz game about Seo Joon, which earned her two special minutes on stage with him, enjoying charming, date-like activities such as chatting in a park and watching fireworks.
After the fan meet, Anne took to Instagram to share her photo with Seo Joon.
In the caption she wrote, published as is: "Welcomed Park Seo-Jun to our @centurytunasuperbods fam as the global super bod [emoji]
"Been with Century Tuna since 2012 and this was such a fun (maybe a little shy) night with them [emoji] Till the next one [emoji] Thanks for having me."

PARK SEO JOON IN MANILA
Earlier that day, members of the press, including PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal), met with Seo Joon at a press conference held at the Marco Polo Hotel.
Seo Joon felt at ease, as it was the same venue where he had his press conference during his previous trip to Manila for a fan meet in 2023.
"I remember I sat in this exact seat the last time I visited here," he recalled, with the help of a translator.
"I guess this is the official spot for events like this. So now, I'm very used to it."

Seo Joon expressed his gratitude for being able to return to the Philippines, even if it was just for another brief visit.
He said, "The fact that I'm here is making me so happy, but I'm also very sad that every time I'm here, it's for a short time.
"So I'm very glad to meet the people here, the Filipinos. But I'm also sad that we don't get to meet very long."
