ENHYPEN concluded their second world tour, FATE, enthralling 327,000 fans with 21 shows across 13 cities!
With ENHYPEN WORLD TOUR “FATE”, ENHYPEN once again drew to close their world tour on the Philippine concert stage, bringing together ENGENEs from all over the nation to the New Clark City Stadium to witness the writing of a history of Heeseung, Jay, Jake, Sunghoon, Sunoo, Jungwon, and Ni-ki for the Philippine concert scene. Their amazing showmanship, captivating stage presence, charming personalities, and love for their fans were all on display as they performed their songs with passion and flair throughout. This was all topped off by an aesthetically stunning stage production that featured lavish stage effects and stunning pyrotechnics, and ENGENEs’ tremendous enthusiasm, relentless cheering, and solid support.
On February 3, exactly one year after the start of their historic MANIFESTO in Manila performances in 2023, the K-Pop powerhouse successfully wrapped out their second world tour, dubbed FATE, at the Philippines’ New Clark City Stadium. The septet ended their eagerly awaited six-month global tour and made performance history in the Philippines by being the first K-Pop artist to perform at the New Clark City Stadium.
The boy group and their devoted supporters worked together to produce fantastic moments that gave FATE the most stellar finish. The riveting three-hour show at New Clark City, presented by PULP Live World, opened with ENHYPEN’s signature performances, which included crowd favorites like “Drunk-Dazed” and “Blockbuster,” hits from their earlier albums like “Future Perfect (Pass the MIC),” “Shout Out,” “Go Big or Go Home,” “Let Me In (20 CUBE),” and their most recent releases like “Bite Me,” “Bills,” “Criminal Love,” and “Sweet Venom.”
The excitement was palpable even before the event began, as ENGENEs never stopped applauding for their sevEN, who kept solidifying their place as one of their generation’s biggest idols. With their signature “One, two, connect! Hello, we are ENHYPEN!” greeting, Heeseung, Jay, Jake, Sunghoon, Sunoo, Jungwon, and Ni-ki formally welcomed Philippine ENGENEs to their concert, then each of them gave their greetings.
Leader Jungwon conveyed his joy at seeing the fans again. Jay agreed, saying, “Bumalik kami para sa inyo.” Jake then expressed his appreciation to ENGENEs for being with them as they wind up their second global tour. “FATE Tour, which began in Seoul in July last year, is coming to an end tonight at the New Clark City. I’m very excited to do it and be able to wrap up our tour in the New Clark City Stadium. Thank you for coming out tonight,” he said.
Enthralling over 327,000 ENGENEs worldwide, the ENHYPEN WORLD TOUR “FATE” took place over 13 cities and 21 performances. On the FATE Tour, Heeseung, Jay, Jake, Sunghoon, Sunoo, Jungwon, and Ni-ki made history by headlining bigger venues, setting records as the K-Pop boy band to host a solo concert at the Tokyo Dome in the shortest amount of time since their debut, and making their historic stadium debut in the United States at Dignity Health Sports Park in Los Angeles.
Looking back on their international tour, ENHYPEN expressed their profound appreciation, saying, “Words cannot fully express the happiness we’ve felt over the past six months of FATE. As the tour progressed, our appreciation and affection for ENGENEs grew immensely. ENHYPEN will strive to become ENGENEs’ greatest pride. I hope today’s show is etched in your hearts as a cherished memory.”
During FATE IN NEW CLARK CITY, the members spoke with the audience in both Filipino and English as they actively interacted with them during the performance. They tried their hardest to get closer to the crowd by moving carts, showering them with emotional “salamat po” and “mahal kita,” and bringing out Pikachu as their special guest. In addition, Heeseung, Jay, Jake, Sunghoon, Sunoo, Jungwon, and Ni-ki prepared a variety of gifts for the fans. These included performances on the piano and guitar by Heeseung and Jay, covers of Justin Bieber’s “Love Yourself” by Jake, Never the Strangers’ “Moving Closer” by Sunoo, Zack Tabudlo’s “Give Me Your Forever” by Heeseung, SB19’s “Gento” dance by Sunghoon, and MIMS’ “Like This” dance by Ni-ki.
In addition to ENHYPEN’s outstanding stages, the ENGENEs’ immense energy, unwavering applause, and cohesive support were equally impressive. While the ENGENEs’ wave of lights emphasized the beauty of the full stadium, the fan projects showed their commitment to providing Heeseung, Jay, Jake, Sunghoon, Sunoo, Jungwon, and Ni-ki with the most magnificent memory and well-earned show of love. These included bus advertisements, fan zones, the “PH ENGENE LOVES ENHA ♡ HBD YJW” aerial banner, a sea of orange flowers, Jungwon’s birthday projects, sing-along moments, and more. “Looking at all of these fan projects, I don’t want the concert to end. So, as ENHYPEN, we will do our best to return,” stated Sunghoon.
“This is the Philippines I remember.”
JAY
Heeseung, Jay, Jake, Sunghoon, Sunoo, Jungwon, and Ni-ki returned to the stage to perform “One In A Billion.” Constantly amazed by the incredible enthusiasm and thunderous applause of the audience, the members praised ENGENEs for their unwavering support.

It’s all because of you, guys,” he uttered. He continued by pledging to work harder than ever to make ENGENEs proud.

Like his members, he committed to keep evolving and asked that ENGENEs stay with them on their journey. “There’s nothing we can wish more than ENGENEs being by our side all the time. ENGENEs, will you stay with us until the end? Pinky promise! It’s a pinky promise we made today,” he said.
“We are at the end of our second world tour, FATE. I really cannot believe this is happening. I am very happy to end the second world tour with so many ENGENEs in the Philippines.

Moreover, he pledged to put in more effort and return to more stadiums worldwide to meet more people. “We, ENHYPEN, will try our best and give our all to come back to this stadium and more stadiums in the world.”
“It has been six months since we started the FATE Tour. When I think about the six-month period of time, we can say that’s been a long time, but now I look back from Seoul to the Philippines, and time passed by swiftly. Actually, we have another concert in Seoul, but officially FATE Tour’s last stop is in the Philippines. Thank you very much for the ending of the FATE Tour with you, ENGENEs, and here at the New Clark City Stadium. Actually, I am really happy in those six months even though a lot has happened. Thank you to overseas ENGENEs as well. We, ENHYPEN, will try our best and give our all to come back to this stadium and more stadiums in the world. ENGENE, mahal kita!”
SUNGHOON
Like his members, Jake expressed his happiness that the best was left for last, praising the incredible enthusiasm of the crowd that evening. “We will be ending our FATE Tour with such an amazing audience, with amazing people.

Even more memorable was the encore performance of “Karma,” which brought the evening to a conclusion with a stunning fireworks show. But the evening was far from over. The boy group played “Future Perfect (Pass the MIC)” again as part of their encore. Once more, the members descended onto the stage and climbed onto the moving carts to have a closer look at the fans around the stadium. The members showed their love for the fans by saying “mahal kita” and “salamat po” while displaying a stunning firework display and hearts full of appreciation.
With a final bow, ENHYPEN closed FATE IN NEW CLARK CITY with Jungwon’s final message, “Being able to step on any stage without any fear is always possible because we have ENGENEs by our side. Thank you to all ENGENEs who continued to support us from our first world tour to our second world tour, FATE. This has been ENHYPEN!”
Adding to the enthusiasm around FATE, ENHYPEN is returning to Korea for an encore performance, ENHYPEN WORLD TOUR ‘FATE PLUS’ IN SEOUL, initially slated for February 24 and 25 only. The boy group’s unparalleled worldwide appeal was highlighted by the instantaneous sell-out of the presale tickets, which led to the announcement of an additional performance date for February 23.
