On May 24, 2025, the New Frontier Theater in Quezon City turned into the ultimate hotspot as the Wild Wild After Party made its sizzling Manila debut!

Presented by Steve O’Neal Productions, the high-energy spectacle Wild Wild After Party featured eight stunning Korean talents, including Lee Yunje, Kim Jinwoo, Kim Donghee, Kang Chunil, Jeong Hansaem, and Roh Jinwook. The 75-minute event was packed with jaw-dropping numbers, playful acting, and steamy-themed routines inspired by Magic Mike. With two electrifying showings scheduled: a women-only afternoon slot and an all gender evening set, fans were treated to a night of bold moves, a LOT of shirt-removing-ab-flexin’ moments, cheeky, charming, and unforgettable fun show.

This is what went down on the show.

WILD, WILD!

The night kicked off with a carefully executed curtain and shadow play that established an atmosphere of mystery and anticipation, instantly locking in attention. As the curtain rose, the cast made their entrance in tailored suits and ties, exuding sophistication and control. That polished opening quickly gave way to towel routines marked by sharp movement and subtle sensuality. The cast used minimal props to strong effect, demonstrating refined staging awareness and sharp showmanship. The sequences walked the line between expressive and provocative, offering a compelling blend of structure and fluidity that held attention throughout.

Things escalated with a bed routine involving a solo female guest from the crowd, creating a highly charged sequence that blurred the line between show and experience. In another segment, two women were invited for a chair-focused act that merged teasing movement with up-close engagement. Throughout the evening, the cast frequently approached the stage edge, dancing close to attendees, offering moments of direct engagement, including quick gestures like high-fives that kept the atmosphere alive. Later, dressed in leather outfits, they returned with bold and flirtatious sequences that struck a balance between strength and appeal, and a standout piece came in the form of a contemporary solo that mixed raw emotion with control, offering a quiet yet powerful contrast to the more explosive parts of the night.

After Party

A drum segment brought in a strong cultural layer and rhythmic pulse to the lineup. The cast wore traditional-inspired outfits that stood out against the more modern looks, offering distinct visual variety. Driven by percussion-heavy beats, this segment fused heritage with stylized motion, adding depth and texture to the show.

Another highlight was the Michael Jackson medley, with the cast dressed in sleek military style attire, delivering tight and instantly recognizable movements. This part paid tribute to the legendary performer while showing off the group’s precision and stage chemistry.

The real finale saw the full ensemble return for one last explosive number. As the music wound down, they stepped off the stage and into the crowd, throwing keepsakes and thanking the Filipino supporters directly. The farewell was both lively and heartfelt, closing the night with a personal touch that resonated beyond the performance.

With how enthusiastically the Manila crowd responded, it was clear the team took notice. The passion from local fans left a mark, and a return visit seems more than likely. Now that we’ve had a taste of the Wild Wild After Party, we’ll be keeping the buzz alive, hoping for their comeback, and looking forward to even more unapologetically wild nights.
