4th Impact Recalls Encounter With Harry Styles On ‘X Factor;’ Hopes To Be The Asian, Female Version of One Direction Someday

4th Impact are back in London after their short but fruitful vacation in the Philippines. Filipino siblings Irene, Mylene, Celina and Almira recently shared their experiences at "The X Factor," including their short encounter with One Direction member Harry Styles.

4th Impact really knows how to set the stage on fire. While the former "X Factor" UK contestants are receiving countless offers to perform across the globe, the girls recently shared in an interview with Philippine Star that they almost gave up their passion for singing.

Their mom, Erlina, told the publication that even "X Factor UK" judge Simon Cowell wondered why the girls never seemed to win any competition in the Philippines. When the girls said that they lost in local singing competitions because of their looks, Cowell told them otherwise.

"No, you're beautiful," Cowell told 4th Impact.

4th Impact admitted that they almost gave up on their dreams after losing several times. The group was, however, very thankful that their mom stayed by their side and continued to support them.

4th Impact also recounted their experience on "X Factor," including Almira's short encounter with Harry Styles. Celina and Mylene told the publication that their sister bumped into the 1D member during a rehearsal for the show. Styles immediately recognized Almira as one of the members of 4th Impact.

"Oh hi. Are you 4th Impact," asked Styles.

4th Impact also shared that they have no plans of going solo yet. The girls also hope to become the "female, Asian version" of One Direction someday.

Meanwhile, Unreality TV reports on 4th Impact's return in London. The girls thanked their fans from the Philippines for their heartwarming welcome and support on Twitter.

The publication also notes on the possibility that it is only a matter of time before 4th Impact announces its record deal. 4th Impact is also slated for a concert in Dubai in April.
