All five The Air group members are expected to arrive in Singapore on November 29 to attend some sideline events, including a press conference with Singaporean media.

“This is a huge honor for us. Though we are a new group, we’ve still been receiving big support. We are trying our best to prepare for our appearance to an international audience,” The Air’s leader Lu An expressed.
