Andrea Brillantes recently addressed speculations about her radiant appearance, attributing it to her strong faith rather than a romantic involvement. In a candid comment, she stated, “Ang lalaki lang sa life ko ngayon, si Papa God, and I think yun ang nakikita ninyo ngayon sa akin na glow.” She also mentioned experimenting with Korean makeup styles as part of her self-care routine.
Brillantes has been vocal about her passion for K-drama stars, particularly her excitement for the upcoming fan gathering of Korean actress Kim Ji-won. Scheduled for August 3, 2024, at the New Frontier Theater, this event follows Andrea’s recent attendance at Kim Soo-hyun’s fan meet on June 29, 2024, at the Smart Araneta Coliseum. Andrea’s choice of a wedding gown outfit for Kim Soo-hyun’s event drew significant attention, and she is carefully planning her outfit for Kim Ji-won’s fan meet.
Despite experiencing criticism in her teenage years for her fangirl enthusiasm, Andrea has embraced her fan identity. Reflecting on her past, she shared, “I experienced a lot of backlash when I was younger for expressing my love for a K-pop group. I had to learn to keep my fangirl moments more private, especially after receiving harsh comments.”
Now at 21, Andrea feels empowered to support her idols openly. “I’m thankful that people are gentler with me now. They see me as an ally,” she added.
Andrea makes a concerted effort to attend fan meets, often blocking off her schedule well in advance. “When I found out Kim Soo-hyun was coming for a fan meet, I was so excited that I cried,” she revealed. “I make sure to clear my schedule and coordinate with my producers to attend these events.”
