K-pop boy group Tomorrow X Together, better known as TXT, held a concert at the Singapore Indoor Stadium on Apr. 1 (Saturday).

Their sold-out concert was part of their "Act: Sweet Mirage" tour.

Took turns to speak Hokkien

Like a lot of K-pop concerts, TXT treated their Singaporean fans to some fan service.

Much to the delight of their fans, group member Kang Taehyun exclaimed the Hokkien phrase ho jiak (delicious) after dancing to the song "Happy Fools".

Kang claimed that he learnt the phrase himself.

Another member, Huening Kai, also used the same phrase.

However, he mispronounced it as hao jiak.

A for effort, though.

Cute.
