  • Super Junior postpones Manila concert, promises to return

    Super Junior postpones Manila concert, promises to return

    Super Junior will come back.

    It was a different kind of show that transpired last August 6 at the SM Mall of Asia Arena. Despite the circumstances, Super Junior stood on stage, personally addressed the situation, and serenaded Philippine ELFs.

    On the morning of August 6, 2:06 a.m. Philippine Time, Label SJ released a statement, informing the public of the passing of Eunhyuk’s father.

    “It is with great sadness that we inform you of the passing of Eunhyuk’s father.” They added, “Due to the sudden news, Eunhyuk was unable to depart for the SUPER JUNIOR WORLD TOUR – SUPER SHOW 9: ROAD IN MANILA concert scheduled for today.” ELFs from all over the world sent their prayers and condolences to Eunhyuk and his family.

    At 12:35 p.m. on the same day, Label SJ again came forward to give notice regarding SUPER SHOW 9 IN MANILA slated to take place at 5 p.m. on August 6 at the SM Mall of Asia Arena.

    “First of all, after many long discussions between the promoter and Super Junior members, we both agreed that it will be difficult to properly hold SUPER JUNIOR WORLD TOUR – SUPER SHOW 9: ROAD IN MANILA as scheduled. However, the members wanted to meet and greet the fans who came to Manila to attend the concert, so we’d like to ask everyone with tickets to enter the concert venue on time.”

    Full of understanding and respect, Philippine ELFs showed up and came together to relay their sympathy to Eunhyuk and his family by tying black ribbons on their lightsticks. The usual loudness at the arena during concerts turned into a solemn gathering as fans comfort each other and the members.

    Kring Kim took the stage to read out PULP Live World and Inang Happee Sy-Go’s statement. “We would like to sincerely thank all ELF who came to SUPER JUNIOR WORLD TOUR – SUPER SHOW 9: ROAD IN MANILA concert here in the MOA Arena today. Marami pong salamat. You are already part of history for coming despite everything that has happened and everything that you know about what’s going on this afternoon.”

    And Philippine ELFs assured that they understand and that it’s okay. But Super Junior did not also let the opportunity pass without showing fans their appreciation and gratitude. Members Shindong, Ryeowook, Donghae, Yesung, Kyuhyun, and Leeteuk greeted fans and relayed heartfelt messages of thank you, sorry, and “I love you”.

    “This is my first time to have this opening ment. Other than being nervous about performing in front of you. My apologies and sincerest sorry are the expressions I can only give you. And to the member who is facing an unfortunate situation in Korea, Eunhyuk, I am deeply saddened right now. And the situation that we cannot give back the long time that you have waited for us to perform in Manila, the only expression I can tell you is I’m sorry. I promise that we will make sure that we will complete this performance with the complete members of Super Junior next time. Sorry and mahal kita,” said Donghae.

    “Mabuhay! We actually went through a lot of discussions about whether we should come to Manila or not. But eventually, we decided that we should, of course, meet our ELFs who have waited for us. Arriving here in Manila, we had discussions until 3 a.m., 4 a.m. Our Super Show is happy, fun, and gives you hope. To give you more fun, excitement, and hope, this concert is not canceled, but rather is postponed,” Leeteuk said.

    The leader of Super Junior also comforted fans by saying that they can think of it as buying the tickets early. He added that he personally talked to the promoter to hold a two-day concert next time. “To my love ELFs and to our staff, to be all happy, we will come back as soon as possible and greet you again. Here in the center is Siwon and beside me, someone who is like a doppelganger, Eunhyuk,” he said.

    To the forever love between Super Junior and ELFs, Shindong, Ryeowook, Donghae, Yesung, Kyuhyun, and Leeteuk serenaded the fans with “My Wish”, “Callin’”, and “More Days with You” as their gift.

    The members reiterated their promise to come back and meet their ELFs once again. And Philippine ELFs promised that they will continue walking the flower road with them.

    Following the postponement, PULP Live World assured ticketholders that their tickets for the August 6 show will be honored on the later date that will be set. “Detailed explanation on ticket and new show schedule will be announced in the upcoming days. We ask for your understanding with this notice and sincerely appreciate your patience.”

    TREASURE, BamBam, and Jackson Lit Up “2022 K-Pop Masterz” In Manila

    Words and photos by Danica Lacson

    A sea of blue and green colored the Mall of Asia Arena for the 2022 K-Pop Masterz in Manila!

    K-Pop acts TREASURE and GOT7’s BamBam and Jackson teamed up with Philippine Treasure Makers and IGOT7 in an explosive night of loudest cheers, brightest lights, and heated performances at the 2022 K-Pop Masterz in Manila held at the Mall of Asia Arena last July 29.

    Marking PULP Live World’s first K-Pop concert in the Philippines after two years since the pandemic, the concert went all out in giving K-Pop fans the best concert experience with an outstanding lineup of artists, the ultimate stage design, raffled perks, and so much more. Moreover, it also marked significant “firsts” for all three acts — TREASURE’s first overseas performance since their debut and BamBam and Jackson’s first performances as solo artists in the Philippines.

    “What’s up, Manila!”: TREASURE debuts on the Philippine concert stage

    With exploding energy, excitement, and thundering “What’s up, Manila”, Hyunsuk, Jihoon, Junkyu, Yoshi, Jaehyuk, Asahi, Doyoung, Haruto, Jeongwoo, and Junghwan opened the concert with “Jikjin”, the title track of their first extended play. The Second Step: Chapter One. The boy group followed it up with “I Love You” before taking a moment to introduce themselves and trying their best to communicate to Filipino Teuems in the local language. And love was truly felt, as Teumes and Ahgases came together to sing Jaehyuk a “Happy Birthday”. Jaehyuk turned a year older last July 23.

    On a mission to make the night a memory of a lifetime, TREASURE turned up the energy with a dazzling performance of “My Treasure” and a fiery stage of “MMM”. They then ignited their competitive spirits in a game of One Body, One Soul. Divided into Team Mahal Kita (Hyunsuk’s team) and Team Gwapo (Jihoon’s team), the members tested their teamwork as they act out the words ballet, gwiyomi, selfie pose, Michael Jackson, baseball, sexy, heart, and Beyonce. But the competition was intense that they had to battle it out with a tiebreaker game of ddakji between the youngest members Jeongwoo and Junghwan.

    After the intensity of the games, TREASURE wasted no time, giving the crowd live performances of “Boy”, their debut song, and a rock version of “Darari”. The boys ended their set with the sweetest thank yous and mahal kita, reciprocated with loud cheers from the audience.

    Tagay, shot puno with BamBam at the 2022 K-Pop Masterz in Manila

    Still high from TREASURE’s performances, the 2022 K-Pop Masterz in Manila gave the audience no time to catch their feels and calm themselves as GOT7’s BamBam soon took over the Philippine concert stage with “Wheels Up”, “Ride or Die”, and “Looks so Fine”.

    “It feels really good to be back in Manila after four years! I have one thing to say: skrrt skrrt!” BamBam greeted Philippine Ahgases.

    The Thai singer continues his “shot puno” agenda, even going as far as naming a Manila night market he said he will build if he won the lottery as the “BamBam shot puno“. After staying for a while in the Philippines, the GOT7 member earned a new nickname “BamBam bangus” or “Bamgus”, a combination of his name and his now-favorite fish, milkfish or bangus.

    BamBam really made the wait more worth it as he keeps his promise to sing the full version of Ronnie Liang’s “Ngiti“. He later uploaded his cover on his Instagram as a way of saying thank you to Manila.

    And the smiles continued on in his “Who Are You” and “Pandora” performances. But the surprise did not stop! The GOT7 member called over the Pambansang Krung-Krung ng Pilipinas and 2NE1’s Sandara Park on stage.

    “First of all, welcome to my second home, BamBam!” said Dara who came to support her labelmates. Three years since her last visit to the country, Dara also relayed how much she missed Filipinos. “Namiss ko kayong lahat,” she remarked. Being always game, the singer-actress heeded BamBam’s request to perform on stage. The 2NE1 member serenaded the crowd with the group’s classic “I Don’t Care” in an acoustic version.

    With BamBam and Dara sharing the stage, the GOT7 member closed his set with “riBBon”.

    The MAGIC MAN was here: Jackson returns to Manila, bringing new songs for Filipino fans

    Completing the night, Jackson followed his groupmate’s BamBam set, setting the arena into a frenzy as he debuts his newly released singles, “Cruel” and “Blow”, from his upcoming album, Magic Man. Truly an unforgettable evening, the GOT7 member gave the Philippines a first taste of the live performances of more songs from his upcoming album. Proving once again what a performer he is, he wowed with “Blue” and “Drive It Like You Stole It”.

    Jackson also relayed his admiration for Filipino fans and their passionate spirit in giving support. “The passion is on another level. When they cheer for you, you know they mean it,” he said. He added, “If you have 100, they give you 100.”

    The 2022 K-Pop Masterz in Manila gave opportunities to the fans to get to know the Magic Man better thru a brief interview on stage with host Kring Kim. Jackson talked about Team Wang Design, a luxury streetwear label he founded. According to the singer and creative genius, he loves creating and the streetwear label is one of his creations. Team Wang Design embodies the slogan, “Know yourself, Make your own history.” — a slogan that also reflects Jackson’s advice to aspiring artists, encouraging them to find their own route.

    Closing the 2022 K-Pop Masterz in Manila, Jackson left the crowd with his performance of his 2020 single “100 Ways”.

    PULP is back!

    The 2022 K-Pop Masterz in Manila kicks off PULP Live World’s K-Pop concert for 2022. Truly a return with a bang, the concert created a beautiful sea of blue and green colors and memories of a lifetime shared by Teumes and Ahgases. It was a momentous event that brought together TREASURE, BamBam, and Jackson and Philippine Teumes and Ahgases to light up the Mall of Asia Arena.

    And the concert is only the start as PULP promises more exciting events, and the best shows, not only for K-Pop fans but also for rock and metal fans this 2022. So, fans all over the country, brace yourself for Super Junior, All Time Low, GOT7’s Yugyeom, The Maine, (G)I-DLE, Boys Like Girls, TXT, and so much more, including to-be confirmed dates for Running Man, One Ok Rock, and Slipknot.

    Words and photos by Danica Lacson

    Youngjae day indeed!

    South Korean singer-actor and GOT7 member Youngjae gave Philippine Ahgases the best memories last July 23 at the New Frontier Theater as he spends the day with them in back-to-back events.

    The GOT7 member met his fans again through his first solo events in the country — 2022 YOUNGJAE MINI CONCERT: โ€˜SUGARโ€™ IN MANILA and ‘SUGAR’ FANSIGN IN MANILA. It was a delightful, nostalgic, and unforgettable experience for all attendees as the singer-actor did not hold back in creating special moments with his fans.

    The mini concert kicked off with thundering cheers, welcoming Youngjae’s performance of “Tasty” from his first extended play Colors from Ars. The energy inside the New Frontier Theater continued to go up as the GOT7 member followed up “Tasty” with “Focus”, one of the tracks from his newest release, Sugar. He then went to greet his Filipino fans and enthusiastically played the “Guess the Song” and “Yes or No” games with them.

    The singer also recounted his experience of eating Jollibee — a recommendation from Filipino Ahgases. According to him, he found it delicious. He also remarked that he enjoyed some leisure time and relaxed, including going for a swim. “The weather was so nice,” he added.

    Talking about his radio program, GOT7 Youngjae’s Best Friend, Youngjae, who started hosting the program in March 2022, shared that he considers all episodes memorable. He also gifted fans with a short rendition of “Wait For You” by Elliott Yamin. The singer-actor said he will never forget the lyrics of “Wait For You” as it is a song he had sung a lot of times. In addition, he considers Elliott Yamin an integral part of his artistry as he was an artist that helped him find his color.

    Youngjae shared that hearing the cheers of Filipino Ahgases reminded him that the cheers and screams from Filipino fans were really, really loud and crazy. And indeed, the crowd did not hold back in showing their love for the GOT7 member. Louder cheers and applause resonated in the venue when he performed his title tracks “Vibin’” from Colors from Ars and “Sugar” from the album of the same name.

    More than the cheers, Filipino Ahgases also gifted Youngjae with a touching video message and banner project. “IGOT7 is always with you,” read the banners raised during the mini concert.

    The singer-actor relayed his gratitude to fans and reciprocated the love with performances of “Crema” and GOT7 hits “NANANA” and “Girls Girls Girls”. He even roamed around the venue and interacted with the audience during “Girls Girls Girls”.

    Part II: Sugar Fansign in Manila

    After the mini concert, lucky fans got the chance for a photo opportunity with Youngjae and participate in the send-off session. But the day was far from over. Following the mini concert, the singer-actor returned for the fansign event where he conversed with fans and granted their requests.

    Chosen fans also got the chance for a photo opportunity. Top spenders also took selfies with Youngjae — a memory of a lifetime indeed! The event ended with a goodbye session with fansign attendees.

    An eventful day filled with the best memories from the sweetest man, Youngjae! July 23 was truly a day to remember thanks to Ahgases and Youngjae — the last one to leave and the first to come back.

    Special thanks to CDM Entertainment for the invitation to the events.

    Indeed, beyond the fun-filled concert and applause-worthy performances, the Be You: The World Will Adjust served as an avenue to come together for a cause and share advocacy to celebrate people with special needs. The concert provided a platform for talented people with special needs to boast about their music and talent and the crowd at the SM Mall of Asia Arena repaid it with the loudest cheers and brightest lights.

    Special thanks to In Purpose International Training Institute, Inc. and Be You team.

Moreover, their performances in the show Queendom earned them high praises from the general public for the admirable execution of their stages and successful delivery of the message and concept.

    This 2022, (G)I-DLE proved their unstoppable rise in the music scene with their first studio album I Never Die. And surely, they will never as they achieve Perfect All-Kills with the lead single “Tomboy”.

    And now, Miyeon, Minnie, Soyeon, Yuqi, and Shuhua are ready to bring their music to a bigger stage with their first concert tour, 2022 (G)I-DLE WORLD TOUR: JUST ME ()I-DLE.

  • Boys Like Girls to Perform Live in Cebu in October

    Boys Like Girls to Perform Live in Cebu in October

    Boys Like Girls will meet you soon, Cebu!

    Cebu is in for one incredible rock show. PULP Live World and Skesh Entertainment are excited to bring Boston favorites BOYS LIKE GIRLS to the Philippines after more than a decade! BOYS LIKE GIRLS LIVE IN CEBU has been given a new date given the current global health situation and is on October 12, 2022, at the Sky Hall Seaside Cebu.

    It will be a show thatโ€™s sure to trigger nostalgia with Martin Johnson (vocals/guitar), Paul DiGiovanni (guitar), John Keefe (drums), and Morgan Dorr (bass) playing their iconic debut album front to back. Released back in 2006, the self-titled Boys Like Girls carried songs that served as the soundtrack to the coming of age of a distinct generation of pop-punk/pop rock fans. It was an album that allowed the band to break through the music scene, with hits like โ€œHero/Heroine,โ€ โ€œThe Great Escape,โ€ and โ€œThunderโ€ spending weeks on Billboard charts.

    As iconic as the band was at the time just for this album alone, this debut release was soon followed in 2009 by Love Drunk, with more anthems for fans to sing along to like the title track โ€œLove Drunk,โ€ โ€œSheโ€™s Got A Boyfriend Now,โ€ โ€œHeart Heart Heartbreak,โ€ and โ€œTwo Is Better Than Oneโ€ featuring Taylor Swift.

    It comes as no surprise that, in the latter part of 2019 following years of inactivity, fans were ecstatic upon hearing the news that Boys Like Girls would be hitting the road on their first headlining tour in ten years, officially announcing five dates in Australia slated for April 2020. This exciting news followed years of inactivity, with the bandโ€™s third and most recent album Crazy World (โ€œBe Your Everything,โ€ Life of the Party,โ€ โ€œThe First Timeโ€) coming out way back in 2012.

    Boys Like Girls had a short tour in 2016 to celebrate the 10th anniversary of their debut album and are now looking to make an extension of that celebration by setting their sights outside of the US, in other corners of the world that they missed to include. Before they head over to Australia for their first tour in a decade, the band is stopping by Asia for their first shows in years.

    BOYS LIKE GIRLS LIVE IN CEBU happens on October 12, 2022, at the Sky Hall Seaside Cebu. This show is powered by PULP Live World and Skesh Entertainment. Gates open at 6:00 PM and we rock and roll by 8:00 PM. For tickets purchased last February, they will still be honored on the new show date. For those who would like to opt for a refund, you may contact SM Tickets for further assistance. Tickets will still be available at SM Tickets outlets nationwide and online (www.smtickets.com). Prices are as follows: VIP โ€“ P3,500; General Admission โ€“ P2,500. Ticketing charges apply.
