"My name is Siwon Pho," the 37-year-old singer said.

Meanwhile, Shindong showed love for the Vietnamese sandwiches known as banh mi.
"I’m addicted to banh mi. I had one this morning and I’ll have another after the show. Banh mi is so good you guys," he said.
Shindong admitted he does not usually like eating vegetables in South Korea but found them delicious in Vietnam.
Before the show, Leeteuk also posted photos of Vietnamese rolls and pho on his Instagram, as well as a video of him eating banh mi after the performance.
