In the interview, Liam said they are now focusing on their solo careers, “the only way” that they could get “more successful” as a group, he said.
One Direction was formed as a group for singing competition “The X Factor” in 2010. In 2015, shortly after Malik left the group, other members went to pursue solo careers.
On May 1, Styles is set to perform in Manila, followed by Horan on June 10.
One Direction last held a concert in Manila in 2015.
