Mere days after P1Harmony dominated the Governor’s Ball stage in Queens, the South Korean group sat down with amNewYork Metro in Washington Square Park to discuss how their bite out of the Big Apple tasted. It was the perfect sunny Monday afternoon as K-Pop extraordinaries, KEEHO, THEO, JIUNG, INTAK, SOUL, and JONGSEOB strolled beneath Washington Square Park’s Arch donning matching beige and burgundy suede suits. While the group’s leader KEEHO feared that they might standout a little too much, New Yorkers casually shrugged it off as they went about their day used to the eccentricities that makes the Big Apple so vibrant.
It was not the first time JIUNG visited Washington Square Park, who added that he rode the subway to see what life was like for New Yorkers. As amNewYork Metro inquired if they’ve experienced any unique New York City moments, a man wearing a brightly colored medieval robe and hat jumped onto the park’s benches and began shouting about music and R&B as if he were preaching to a choir. The bandmates laughed and smiled in awe of how much character New York City has.
“You’ve got vibes,” KEEHO said smiling. “I just saw a guy walk pass with two bunnies and I almost had to say it [out loud that it] was so cute. We love it.
We love New York.” Each of the members gushed about the places they’ve seen, such as Chelsea Market and visiting Times Square’s Broadway to see the Cursed Child. The week they spent in New York City was ripe with experience.
