His posts were reposted and tweeted by his fanbases, celebrating with him knowing that he is a huge fan of the Japanese rock band.

"We are happy, Zerken. that you had the chance to watch their concert here in the Philippines. [Y]ou really deserve it," one fanbase wrote on X, formerly Twitter.

Another Ken fanbase account, @SB19KenUpdates, tweeted, "Ken with his number one favorite band ONE OK ROCK (@ONEOKROCK_japan). We're so happy for youuuuuuuu!"

An SB19 fanbase account also tweeted Ken's Instagram Story, where he posted a group photo with ONE OK ROCK, probably taken backstage.

"DREAM COME TRUE! Felip just met his Japanese idol rock band, ONE OK ROCK (OOR)!" wrote A'TIN Global Society.

Ken covered "C.h.a.o.s.m.y.t.h." by ONE OK ROCK in a Facebook Live in 2020 and has the rock band's tracks added to his Spotify playlist.

A huge fan that he is, Ken openly shared before that he wanted to collaborate with ONE OK ROCK, specifically Taka Moriuchi, the band's vocalist.

In 2021, the 26-year-old P-Pop artist also shared a snippet of the lyric video of the rock band's song "We Are."

ONE OK ROCK kicked off its "Luxury Disease" tour in Taipei, Taiwan, before heading to the Philippines. Following its concert stop in the Philippines, the rock band will go to Indonesia, Hong Kong, South Korea, Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore.

Before kicking off its Asia tour, the band held its successful North American tour for its album "Luxury Disease," released in 2022.

The band, which consists of Taka, Ryota, Toru and Tomoya, was formed in 2005 and debuted in 2007. ONE OK ROCK cultivated a following among the younger generation for its mix of emo and rock music paired with breathtaking live performances.

From performing at live house venues and summer festivals, the band has now conquered outdoor stadiums, arenas and dome venues across Japan.
