Love was definitely in the air as rising Thai GL superstars Mable Siriwalee and Pangjie Paphavarin graced the Philippine stage for the very first time at their inaugural Philippine fan meeting, held on February 15, 2026, at the SM North EDSA Skydome. Mint green hues filled the venue, from banners and lights to carefully planned outfits prepared by Filipino MAGICs, all excited to finally see the stars of the phenomenal Thai GL series Clairebell The Series.

Clairebell The Series, produced by Mine Media Productions and created by legendary Thai actor-actress couple Davika Hoorne and Ter Chantavit, follows the story of Claire (Mable Siriwalee) and Bell (Pangjie Paphavarin), who meet and fall in love while imprisoned, as they struggle to survive and find peace with their lives behind bars. Airing in the latter part of 2025, the series became a global hit, amassing millions of views across streaming platforms and YouTube. With their undeniable chemistry, exceptional acting, and versatility, Mable and Pangjie captured the hearts of fans worldwide.

The show opened with Mable and Pangjie performing their series’ official soundtrack, Starlight, originally sung by Violette Wautier. The crowd erupted in cheers and could not hide their “kilig” as the duo showcased their natural rapport onstage. As the lights brightened inside the dome, Mable and Pangjie beamed with smiles as they enthusiastically greeted their Filipino MAGICs.

“I got so excited. This is our first time in the Philippines,” Pangjie shared as she expressed her joy at finally stepping onto the Philippine stage. The pair further delighted fans by reciting Tagalog phrases they had practiced beforehand. Mable’s “Ikaw ang laman ng puso ko” and Pangjie’s “Akin ka na lang” left a lasting impression on their Filipino MAGICs. As the fan meeting continued, the two reflected on their recently concluded series and shared behind-the-scenes stories with the audience.

Mable and Pangjie also discussed the most challenging and memorable scenes they portrayed during filming. “The first scene that was very difficult was the first time we met in the series as our characters,” Mable shared. “We’ve known each other for a long time and are very close, so we had to act like we didn’t know each other. That was really hard for me.” She added, “The moment I looked into Pangjie’s face, I already knew what she was thinking, but in the scene, I had to act like I knew nothing about her.”

After some thought, Pangjie answered, “The scene that was very hard for me was the love scene because it gave me butterflies.” This prompted playful teasing from fans, with Mable elaborating on their intimate library scene and how it became one of the most memorable moments during filming and broadcast. “I love that scene because I feel like… Claire is the hottest,” Mable joked, as a fan shouted, “Top Mable!” Mable playfully agreed, while Pangjie added, “I would like to confirm that it’s 100% true.”

The duo kept the energy high as they played games with fans, including Strawberry, Banana, Apple, and Truth or Flirt. Mable and Pangjie truly had the time of their lives, showing their fun-loving personalities while bonding with their beloved Filipino MAGICs. Beyond the games and interactions, they also showcased their musical talents. Mable performed Lisa’s “Moonlit Floor,” Pangjie sang Stephanie Poetri’s “I Love You 3000,” and together, they delighted fans with their rendition of the OPM classic “O Pag-ibig.”

Filipino MAGICs also surprised Mable with a birthday cake ahead of her upcoming birthday on April 23. The actress was visibly stunned by the sweet gesture and was moved to tears as fans sang her a heartfelt birthday song.

Mable and Pangjie clearly cherished every moment with their Filipino MAGICs, overwhelmed by the immense love and support for both their pairing and their series. With their unmatched chemistry and growing global presence, Mable and Pangjie continue to rise as a formidable force in the Thai GL industry, leaving a mark on audiences around the world.

Lee Chae Min turned his first Manila visit into a tapestry of heartfelt moments, woven with laughter, sincerity, and shared joy.

Bon Appétit, Your Majesty actor LEE CHAE MIN ruled Manila with charm, sincerity, and effortless warmth during his first-ever fan meeting in the Philippines. On November 23, 2025, the rising actor graced the New Frontier Theater for the 2025 LEE CHAE MIN FANMEETING TOUR ‘Chaem-into you’ in MANILA, presented by PULP Live World, VARO Entertainment, Pinnalive, and Merry Go Round, marking a memorable night that Manila CHAEMFs will treasure.

Best known for his standout role as the king in Bon Appétit, Your Majesty and his performances in High Class, Love All Play, Alchemy of Souls, Crash Course in Romance, See You in My 19th Life, Hierarchy, and Crushology 101, LEE CHAE MIN continues to prove his growing global influence. But in Manila, he showed a deeper side of himself—one that was warm, playful, emotional, and eager to give fans a night to remember.

The fan meeting opened with a breathtaking moment: the lights dimmed, then slowly brightened to reveal LEE CHAE MIN seated at a piano, dressed in a white ensemble, performing a piano version of Stay With Me from Bon Appétit, Your Majesty. He shared afterward that it was his first time receiving such overwhelming cheers while playing piano, expressing how happy he was to feel the warmth of Manila fans. “With your cheers, there’s nothing I can’t do,” he said, grateful for the energy that filled the venue.

Visiting Manila for the first time, he admitted that the first thing on his mind upon arriving was Manila CHAEMFs, and that it’s hot. But he quickly warmed up to the city and the people, telling fans, “You are more than my expectations.” He then explained the meaning behind the fan meeting title Chaem-into you: “Into you” means falling into someone, and combined with his name, it symbolizes both fans falling into him, and him falling into his fans.

The event continued with “IN TMI CHAE MIN,” a segment where fans learned more intimate details about the actor. He revealed that his favorite animal is a puppy, sharing stories about his two expressive dogs. Fashion-wise, he prefers simple monochromatic colors, with black and white dominating his small wardrobe. “I can get ready in 10 minutes,” he joked. He also mentioned that he showers immediately after schedules, listens to OSTs and ballads, and maintains his physique through a strict routine of 30-minute ab workouts six days a week paired with a disciplined diet. When asked what part of his face he likes most, he confidently answered, “My eyes,” and later shared that he hopes to one day portray roles like a lawyer or professor for his Manila fans.

Fans were also treated to “Chaemin Bank,” a nod to his year and seven months as an emcee on Music Bank with LE SSERAFIM’s Eunchae. Speaking in Tagalog, he introduced himself as “Ako po si Minnie Minnie Chaemin, Bank Manager,” which drew loud cheers. He continued joking with fans in Filipino and other local languages, proving just how game, spontaneous, and considerate he was. At one point, he even told the audience, “Getting closer to you, you look prettier,” sending the crowd into a frenzy.

The night’s energy grew even brighter during “CHAEMission,” a playful segment that perfectly showcased his quick wit and charm.

• Challenge – He successfully completed his first mission.
• Harmony – He acted out a food menu using only his body, with fans correctly guessing the Filipino classic leche flan.
• Acting – Fans had to identify the food he ate in a scene, which turned out to be samgyetang. He shared that while he isn’t a big fan of sweets, he enjoyed the macaron because it had Korean flavors and wasn’t too sweet.
• Exciting – A 60-second time limit game where he chose a fan wearing denim—matching his own outfit—for a fun round of charades.
• Memory: Tell Me Your Wish – A heart-tugging segment where he granted fans’ wishes, from selcas and birthday greetings to a hug where he teasingly asked, “Front hug or back hug?”

Between the laughter and games, fans were surprised by a heartfelt VCR showing his visit to a Tonkatsu Hotpot restaurant, following which he suddenly appeared among the crowd in a denim co-ord outfit, serenading fans up close. Manila CHAEMFs delighted in every moment—at one point even handing him a mini electric fan to beat the Manila heat.

But the most emotional moment came when fans unveiled a special fan project video. LEE CHAE MIN became visibly moved, expressing just how much the night meant to him. “The time I spent with Manila CHAEMFs today was one of the best days I can choose among the days of my life,” he reflected, promising to become a better actor and person who will never disappoint his supporters. He emphasized his gratitude again later, saying, “I’m not really sure if saying ‘I love you’ is enough, but I just really love you this much.”

To close the evening, he sang “I Find You,” from Bon Appétit, Your Majesty. “The lyrics say that no matter the time and space, I’ll make an effort to find you,” he said. “Next time we meet, I hope you’re still gonna be here. Promise? Salamat po.”

From heartfelt confessions to Tagalog phrases, spontaneous dancing, fan interactions, and emotional moments, LEE CHAE MIN delivered a fan meeting that felt personal, intimate, and unforgettable. Manila CHAEMFs responded with the same love, filling the venue with cheers, smiles, and unwavering support.

His parting message summed up the night perfectly:

“Thank you so much, and I love you all. With all your love and support, I will try my best to become the best actor. I’ll see you again.”

Hardwork, passion, dedication, and exceptional talent. That’s how South Korean actress Han Sohee worked her way to the top as a self-made woman in the entertainment industry, being recognized as a global star in this generation.

Han Sohee started her career playing supporting roles in various KDramas in 2017, until she got her breakthrough roles in 2019 KDrama “Abyss,” and her most famous character as Yeo Dakyung in 2020 phenomenal hit Korean series “The World of the Married.”

This 2025, fans have been looking forward to see the unstoppable actress Han Sohee, who has proven her versatility and relentless energy and talent, as she will also be starring in massive projects such as the Korean remake of the 2015 American movie “The Intern,” reprising the role of Anne Hathaway, and playing the character of Cha Haein in Netflix’s live action adaptation of “Solo Leveling.” In addition, her first movie, “Project Y” had its premiere during the Toronto International Film Festival 2025 last September 10, 2025 playing the role of Miseon, and starring alongside South Korean actress Jeon Jongseo.

Celebrating her amazing achievements being in the industry for more than 7 years, Han Sohee took her precious time to meet her fans around the world through her fanmeeting tour, XOHEE LOVED ONES. 2025 Han Sohee 1st Fanmeeting World Tour <XOHEE LOVED ONES> in Manila, presented by LSquared Productions, was held at The Cove at Okada Manila. Filipino Sosamos filled the venue with their cheering banners and bright fanlights, eagerly waiting for their muse.

As soon as Han Sohee stepped out onstage, fans were blown away with her goddess-like beauty and charming personality. It was Han Sohee’s first fanmeet in Manila, however, she has gone in the country a few times for work. She explained the meaning behind the complete title of her tour “XOHEE LOVED ONES, You Are Sparkling Treasures To Me.” “Honestly, it is a return gift to my fans who gave me unconditional and endless love [and support] to me, so for me the fans are really treasures in my life that’s why I came up with this title.”

Filipino SOSAMO got to know more about their beloved Sohee through various segments of the show. During the first segment, XOHEE AWARDS, fans voted for a survey prior to the show, with which Sohee also picked her answers during the show. When asked which of her onscreen characters would she want to travel with, the fans answered Nabi of Nevertheless and Jiwoo of Your Name. However, Sohee picked Eunsu of Soundtrack #1 since she thinks this character has a bright personality and someone she could enjoy travelling with, contrary to her character Jiwoo who is quite dangerous. Meanwhile, she doesn’t want to travel with her character Chaeok from Gyeongseong Creature since she “is quite dangerous.” Fans were also asked which type of character would they want Sohee to play and they voted for either a psychopath or a doctor. Sohee also picked playing a psychopath in her future shows. “There are different kinds of emotions I can play and I personally think that I can do the charm of a psychopath well,” with Sohee posing a bit for the camera portraying a psychopath. Finally, Sohee was asked what her favorite Filipino traditional dish would be. Fans voted for adobo, but Sohee chose bulalo. “[I chose] bulalo because in Korea, it is similar with gomtang and I love it so much that’s why I chose it.” Sohee also shared that she loves rice so much, since the Philippines is a country that serves rice as a staple during meals.

As a creative and someone who loves art and to draw, Sohee got excited during the segment FANART FOR SOHEE, where fans submitted fanarts of Han Sohee and appreciated each of them by mimicking the poses drawn on fanarts. Sohee also played a few games with fans, from guessing games, to knowing the ultimate Sohee fan through a yes or no question, having the entire Cove crowd participate in this segment.

This fanmeet also never failed to showcase Sohee’s amazing creativity and jawdropping talent. Han Sohee premiered a VCR for the tour that she personally directed and produced, which perfectly encapsulated Sohee’s depth and love for her craft, the mini film giving the viewers pure cinema and ignited appreciation for Sohee’s creativity. Sohee also had the fans at the edge of their seats as she performed onstage covers of songs “Seoul City” by Jennie and “Whiplash” by æspa.

Han Sohee took the chance to engage and make her Filipino Sosamos’ wishes come true. Through the segment XOHEE’S MUST-DO LIST, fans were given the chance to write a few messages and requests for Sohee, which she picked onstage and grant for her fans. One of which is taking a selfie with a fan, wherein Sohee went down onstage to go to the chosen fan and make her wish come true. A fan who was celebrating her birthday also got to share a quick hug with Sohee. This being her first time in the country, Filipino Sosamos prepared a fan video message for Han Sohee, who eventually got emotional with the overwhelming love and support from her fans, who referred to themselves as Sohee’s “little garden of love.”

As her fanmeet came to an end, Sohee couldn’t hide her happiness, her heart full of love and appreciation for her fans. “Thank you for saying that I’m not alone. There were so many times that I have to overcome hardships, but the fans are there to fill me up. In the future, I’ll be there for you and protect you, my fans. Thank you for staying with me and for the loud cheers and energy. This will be an unforgettable day for me in my entire life.” Han Sohee promised to be back for her fans, and looking forward to meet them more often in the future. “We’re going meet again, right? ‘Til the next time we see each other again, be healthy and stay happy.”

The legendary idol, who has shown her versatility and unmatched demand on stage through the years, has returned to the country for the last stop of her solo tour, HERE FOR YOU. Tiffany Young surely lit the Samsung Hall at the SM Aura last July 27, 2025, flooding our eyes and hearts with pastel pink ocean. Filipino YoungOnes and SONES truly had their hearts full for the night.

Tiffany Young, who rose to fame as a member of phenomenal South Korean girl group Girl’s Generation, has showcased and proven herself in the world of entertainment as an actress, a performer, and a theater artist, headlining the biggest titles from Uncle Samsik and Reborn Rich, to Fame and Chicago. Not only that, she is also an eloquent host in various music and lifestyle shows and a well respected mentor in Girls Planet 999.

Prior to the main show, Tiffany started with an intimate soundcheck with fans, singing a song from her setlist and entertaining the crowd’s questions and requests. One fan asked her when will Girl’s Generation come back as a group, to which she replied that the girls will be meeting soon for her upcoming birthday. SONES and YoungOnes alike were certainly thrilled to hear this as the group is nearing their 20th anniversary. Tiffany expressed her excitement seeing her Filipino fans after 5 years.

The show formally opened with Tiffany Young singing “Light Up the Sky” from Girl’s Generation’s 2017 album “Holiday Night.” Fans felt the nostalgia as she sang with a heart full of love and gratitude. Tiffany once again greeted her fans and introduced herself for the Manila crowd. “It’s been so long… But I think the last time we were together, we had such an amazing moment and connection. I hope to make today just as special.”

HERE FOR YOU Manila fanmeet stop has given Tiffany a stage and the opportunity for fans to sit down and get to know her more through the segment Tiffany mentioned how fans like her “spicy” when she speaks in English more than her speaking in Korean, channeling her politeness and formal characteristics. “YoungOnes, especially Manila YoungOnes, they like me spicy!” Tiffany also posed for her Filipino fans for a special and magical confetti photo time, which was requested specifically for her Manila stop. During this segment, Tiffany also sang Whitney Houston’s “Greatest Love of All,” saying that it is such an important song for her growing up and it also feels more relevant as she is getting older.

In these clips, Tiffany also gave fans a sneak peek into her life, balancing her personal time with her life as a performer and entertainer in the show business industry. “I’m still always busy, but I try not to show it. I mask my struggles too. Even as I sit here brightly today, just a few weeks ago, I was travelling every week for shows — 10 months straight, performing over 6 hours a day. In that high of dopamine after performing, I’d memorize my scripts in the car, then I’d shoot an indie film during the weekdays… I now admit for the first time in 20 years, nothing is easy. The only thing I can control is myself.” Tiffany also talked about how she had moments when she questioned why she took the path to being an idol, but then, she said that being an idol and taking this path is a gift. “I can now approach things with a wider perspective. I find myself gravitating toward diverse works and challenging projects. Just by following that path, I’ve experienced growth as a person.”

SkyNani’s fanmeeting will happen on the evening of August 24, starting at 7 PM.

The four stars are some of the biggest names in GMMTV, the Thai media giant behind the boom of “BL” or “Boys’ Love” genre into the mainstream.

Sky and Nani specifically gained notable success after they starred in “High School Frenemy,” a drama series depicting the chaotic lives of Siamwit School’s students.

This marks the Korean actor’s second time in Manila, after his sold-out 2023 fan meeting, where he won over hearts with his genuine charm and sweet interactions with fans.

Lee first caught viewers’ attention in Memories of the Alhambra, where he shared the screen with veteran actors Hyun Bin and Park Shin-hye.

Following a successful kickoff to his Asia Fan Meeting Tour in Japan, Lee Jae Wook shared, “Thanks to the fans, I created precious memories and received a lot of positive energy that strengthens me as an actor.”  

With Manila as his next stop, he is set to bring that same warmth and passion to the stage. Don’t miss an unforgettable night with Lee Jae Wook!
