Singer and actress Elisia Parmisano sat down with PUSH ABS-CBN to share details about her life and what it's really like behind the camera. The UNIS member laid it all out in this episode of Get To Know–– from her full name to what she would tell her younger self.
Elisia is a member of the K-Pop group UNIS, which debuted two years ago. She is one of the two Filipino members of the group formed through the SBS survival show Universe Ticket, in which she placed first.

The 17-year-old Filipina singer expressed how there are still times when she would feel down, but as a public figure, she makes sure that it doesn’t get seen by her fans, who look up to her.
“As a public figure who has people who look up to me, of course I wanna try and project an image of myself na parang, 'guys, it’s all okay! I’m kampante with everything. Pero siyempre, there are times din naman na I feel down or when I feel na napaghihinaan ng loob. But, laban pa din,” she shared.
She added that there are instances when she checks comments on social media.
“I do monitoring din on social media and stuff parang I check out my videos and kung paano ako naprproject as a person talaga on social media. I sometimes feel na each time na lumalabas ako on SNS, medyo paiba-iba yung mga image ko,” she said.

“I wish sana people would understand na I’m still finding myself and that meron din randomness and quirkiness when it comes with this girl right here so sana you guys would understand all the quirkiness that comes out on camera sometimes,” she added.
In a previous exclusive interview with PUSH ABS-CBN, Elisia opened up about moving to South Korea to pursue her dream of becoming a K-Pop idol. She recalled how surprised she was as she ranked first in the survival program, which earned her a slot in the girl group.
“It was definitely such a surreal moment for me. That time, I was not that fluent pa in Korean yet so when they were announcing it, parang is this actually real? Is this real? Am I not just misunderstanding the whole situation? It just really felt like a dream and I’m so so happy,” she previously shared.
