"It was found out that we were singing pop or rock songs, it's not that I underestimated. Yes, so that's the challenge," he said.

"Frankly, playing with a large crowd is not easy. You have to practice the right one. As a vocalist, we have to have consistency. So it's not something easy," he concluded.
