The Ma'am Chief: Shakedown in Seoul star gave more glimpses of her experience with a new set of behind-the-scenes photos uploaded on her Instagram account on Monday, Dec. 18.
Melai shared snaps taken with fellow AAA awardees and local artists SB19, Ben&Ben, Kathryn Bernardo, and Daniel Padilla, as well as fellow Kapamilya star Maymay Entrata, and Magandang Buhay co-host Jolina Magdangal.
The comedian recalled in her post how difficult it was to take photos with these stars as they were on the other side of the Philippine Arena, where the event was held on Dec. 14.
Melai added that although she wasn't able to take a selfie with Hallyu superstars, including her favorite actor Kim Seon-ho, she's very grateful to have been part of the illustrious event and see them up close.
"Kahit 'di ako nakapagpa-pic sa Best of best Stars lalo na kay @seonho__kim , ok lang masaya na ako masilayan ang mga glass skin nilang mukha," the comedienne said. "Grabe tlaga as in mga mukha nila parang dinesign na walang pores , nakaka-amaze uu."
"Ang gabi na yan, hanggang ngayon talagang 'God Moves in Mysterious Ways' talaga ang nararamdaman ko, as in talaga," she added.
The 35-year-old actress concluded her post by thanking the event's local organizer, Pulp Live World, and its COO Happee Sy, among many others.
