Truly a k-ganda ng araw-araw with Ro Woon and Kmmunity PH!
June 26 became extra special for fans of South Korean singer-actor Ro Woon with Globe’s RO WOON LIVE IN MANILA: A Kmmunity Exclusive Fan Meet at the SM Mall of Asia Arena. It was a beautiful gathering filled with unforgettable memories that will make every day k-ganda from now on.
Fans of the SF9 member flocked to the SM Mall of Asia Arena and brought their excited spirits even hours before the official start of the event, enjoying the booths set up inside the venue and a mini meet-and-greet with Little Happee.
The exclusive fan meet marked Ro Woon’s first solo event in the Philippines and his third visit to the country. He previously performed with SF9 in 2018 for Be My Fantasy and in 2019 for Unixerse.
Three years after his last Manila show, the singer-actor returned with graciousness and vibrance thanks to the warm and love-filled welcome of thousands of his Filipino fans who filled the SM Mall of Asia Arena and screamed loud for him as he took the stage.
Ro Woon said he was surprised by the huge crowd, adding that he did not expect that a lot of fans will come to meet him. “Thank you very much,” he said. And the love was well-deserved as the singer-actor gamely took on every segment and game during the fan meeting!
He immersed himself in everything Filipino, learning Filipino sentences like “Nakakakaba naman ang chika mo, beshie.” and “Sa Globe Kmmunity, k-ganda ng araw-araw!“. He also ate Filipino snacks like turon, puto bumbong, and his favorite taho.
A definite highlight of the night: Ro Woon in barong Tagalog! The SF9 member and Tomorrow actor completed his Filipino culture immersion by donning traditional Filipino clothing. According to him, barong suits the hot weather in the Philippines because it is see-through.
Meanwhile, Filipino game sipa got his competitive spirit up that he had to do the challenge twice. The result: sipa-2, Ro Woon-0. But the effort is definitely commendable, Ro Woon!
Although sipa and Ro Woon failed to exhibit the best teamwork, the singer-actor found his best teammates to play Pinoy Henyo with — the MOA arena crowd! Thanks to his fans, he navigated the questions with breeze (while cutely pretending that no coaching was happening).
Aside from fun memories, the fan meeting attendees also took home the best life advice from their idol. The singer-actor shared his positive outlook on failures and struggles. According to him, he finds more meaning in failures than success as failures allow you to appreciate your success more.
Fans felt more of his warmth and comfort with the special gifts he prepared. Lucky fans went home with signed gifts including handkerchiefs and mask and glasses necklaces. He also personally designed a bayong on stage, tracing his hand to signify a hi-five. He hopes that it cheers the person, especially during hard times.
But fans of the SF9 member did not allow the night to pass without sending him off with the sweetest gifts and the most comforting video message and fan project for their shining star, Seokwoo — whenever, wherever, let’s be together.
Ro Woon capped off the evening with a performance of his original soundtrack for his 2021 drama The King’s Affection, “No Goodbye In Love”. Indeed, there is no goodbye in love but only see you again. “From the bottom of my heart, thank you very much,” said the singer-actor in his ending message.
The RO WOON LIVE IN MANILA: A Kmmunity Exclusive Fan Meet gifted everyone at the SM Mall of Asia Arena with lasting memories to revisit and warm our days with. Ro Woon was charming, full of life, and generous, giving everyone big smiles on their faces. And the crowd reciprocated all of it with so much love and admiration for the singer-actor who deserves every bit of it. As Ro Woon wrote, “Thank you for making me all the unforgettable memories.”
When the show was so good, you can't believe it was real. Good night, chinggus.
MOA in MOA is really happening as TXT debuts on the Philippine concert stage in October!
South Korean boy group TOMORROW X TOGETHER, commonly known as, TXT, is bringing their ACT : LOVE SICK World Tour to the Philippines on October 27 and 28 at the SM Mall of Asia Arena.
Big Hit Music announced upcoming Asia stops of the boy group’s world tour in a Weverse post last June 21. PULP Live World, the promoter of the Manila shows, confirmed the upcoming dates that will see Yeonjun, Soobin, Beomgyu, Taehyun, and HueningKai take over SM Mall of Asia Arena in a two-day concert.
Filipino MOAs surely did not contain their excitement as only a few minutes following the announcement, “TXT IN MANILA” already rose to the top of the Philippine Twitter trends. And they have every right to be excited because ACT : LOVE SICK in Manila will serve as the first-ever live concert of TXT in the Philippines since debuting in 2019.
Setting and Breaking Records: The TXT Way
TXT became the first boy group Big Hit Music (formerly Big Hit Entertainment) debuted six years following BTS. Debuting with high expectations, Yeonjun, Soobin, Beomgyu, Taehyun, and HueningKai defied expectations and made a name for themselves with their music and artistry.
The boy group debuted with the release of their first extended play, The Dream Chapter: Star. The EP topped South Korea’s Gaon Album Chart and Billboard World Albums Chart. Its lead single, “Crown”, took the top spot on Billboard World Digital Songs Chart. In addition, the music video for “Crown” broke the record for the most viewed K-Pop debut music video within 24 hours for a boy group.
TXT also debuted on top of Billboard Emerging Artists and at number 140 on the Billboard 200 chart. One week after their debut, the boys also secured their first music show win on SBS TV’s The Show.
Since then, TXT became unstoppable in their climb towards the top as they become one of the most successful K-Pop groups of their generation. Their most recent release, Minisode 2: Thursday’s Child was another statement of their ever-growing success. In less than two days, the extended play surpassed one million copies sold. The feat made TXT the second-fastest artist on Hanteo to do so after BTS. Moreover, Minisode 2: Thursday’s Child gave the boy group their highest ranking on Billboard 200, debuting at number four on the Top 200 Albums chart. With their recent EP, TXT also became the first foreign artist in Oricon history to top its weekly album chart with six consecutive albums.
ACT : LOVE SICK in Manila: Ready, MOA?
As the boy group continues to defy expectations and break record after record, fans can look forward to a two-day concert that will showcase solid performances and explosive stages from Yeonjun, Soobin, Beomgyu, Taehyun, and HueningKai.

Philippine Ahgases are in for a sweet time this July with Youngjae!
Singer and songwriter YOUNGJAE is coming to Manila for a fansign eventโYOUNGJAE โSugarโ Fansign in Manilaโon Saturday, July 23, 2022, at the New Frontier Theater.
The once-in-a-lifetime event allows fans to closely interact with the idol through a variety of fan benefits. By only purchasing two copies of โSugarโ at https://www.cdmentertainment.ph, fans already have access to the event and a special perk called โGoodbye Session.โ
In this benefit, all attendees get the privilege to go up the stage and wave goodbye to YOUNGJAE. It was introduced in place of Hi-Touch, to avoid unnecessary contact while still giving the fans a chance to see the idol up close.
For Top Spenders (the fans who buy the most albums), the highlight is undoubtedly getting a selfie with YOUNGJAE using the fanโs phone. As a cherry on top, the idol would be the one to take the photo.
A total of 50 fansign slots are also up for grabs. In this process, each chosen fan gets to have one minute to talk with YOUNGJAE face-to-face. During that time, the fan can ask him questions and personally give him gifts while he signs the album.
Plenty of other perks like Group Photo Op, signed albums, and signed polaroids are also waiting for lucky attendees who will win the raffle. Additionally, YOUNGJAE prepared other fun and exciting surprises that will delight the fans.
This event marks YOUNGJAEโs first time back in the Philippines since the pandemic began. The last time the GOT7 member visited the country was in 2019 when his group held a concert at the Mall of Asia Arena.
Since then, YOUNGJAE has been busy building a solid profile as a multi-talented performer. The South Korean star recently wrapped promotions for his web drama โLove & Wishโ early this year. His musical career is also thriving with โSugarโ serving as his comeback one year after his solo debut.

Double the Fun: It’s YOUNGJAE DAY on July 23!
Fans of YOUNGJAE are in for a sweet July as the GOT7 main vocalist meets them through back-to-back events at the New Frontier Theater. Dubbed โYOUNGJAE Day,โ July 23, 2022 marks the idolโs comeback in Manila with a concert and a fansign happening on the same day.
In a video invitation, the idol said he was touched by fansโ support thatโs why he decided to hold two events.
YOUNGJAE will start the day with a mini-concert at 3:00 PM. 2022 YOUNGJAE MINI CONCERT: โSUGARโ IN MANILA also marks his first solo concert in the country. Select fans can look forward to special perks including rehearsal access and a Group Photo.
Tickets are available at https://www.cdmentertainment.ph, https://ticketnet.com.ph, and TicketNet outlets. Prices range from PHP8,500 to PHP3,000.
Later in the day, at 7:00 PM, YOUNGJAE will meet fans through YOUNGJAE โSugarโ Fansign in Manila, yet another first for the idol. The event offers a new and completely different experience for Philippine KPOP fans. Itโll be the first time they see what happens in a fansign event that is usually exclusive to Korea.
A fansign event allows fans to closely and personally interact with their idols. Select fans will get to have one minute each to talk to YOUNGJAE while he signs on their albums. During that one minute, fans can ask YOUNGJAE questions and even make special requests like aegyoโa Korean pop culture tradition that loosely means โto act cute.โ
Fans that are not selected for fansign have a lot more other options like selfies, solo photos, group photos, and a goodbye session with YOUNGJAE. The cherry on top is that fans do not need to purchase a ticket. In exchange for buying a set of albums at https://www.cdmentertainment.ph, fans already have access to the event. After a successful first round, Round 2 of album selling opened for fans who didnโt make it the first time. Round 2 ends on July 20, 11:59 PM.
Itโs truly a rare opportunity to see an idol do two events in a foreign country. July 23 is a testament to YOUNGJAEโs devotion to his fans. Tickets for the concert are still available while Round 2 album selling is currently ongoing.

An iconic K-Pop boyband, GOT7 makes a grand comeback with a new EP โGOT7โ
About the new EP โGOT7โ, the group says โItโs for those who are trying not to forget about who they are, for those who have waited, and for those who have been with us. This is the beginning of our new first step, and it is the most GOT7-like album thus far.โ
This is the award-winning K-Pop septetโ new project since a single โEncoreโ release in February 2021. It also is GOT7โs first physical release in a year and a half since โBreath of Love: Last Pieceโ album.
The groupโs self-produced album contains 6 tracks including a title track โNANANAโ, written by JAY B. About the track, JAY B says โWe want to bring a smile to the audience and IGOT7 who have been waiting for us. Itโs a gift to them.โ
For the past year, the members of GOT7 have been very active in each of their own solo careers in music, acting, musical, and more, which escalated the fansโ excitement when the groupโs reunion was announced and confirmed.
Consist of multi-nationality members from South Korea, US, Thailand, and China, GOT7 was positioned as an ultimate global K-Pop group since the debut in 2014 with an EP โGot it?โ, releasing multiple hits like ‘A,’ ‘Stop stop it,’ ‘Just Right,’ ‘If You Do,’ and ‘Hard Carryโ.
GOT7 is MARK, JAY B, JACKSON, JINYOUNG, YOUNGJAE, BAMBAM, and YUGYEOM.
Four of the biggest South Korean acts are slated to visit Manila for โBegin Again: KPOP Editionโ taking place on May 29, 2022, 5 PM at the Smart Araneta Coliseum. Fans are sure to have a blast with NCT DREAM, SHINeeโs KEY, WEi, and ALICE performing their latest hit songs on the Philippine stage.
NCT DREAM will be headlining the show, coming on the heels of their widely successful album โGlitch Mode.โ Released last March, NCT DREAM has recently wrapped promotions after selling an impressive 2 million albums. This makes them a double million-seller for two consecutive yearsโa feat only a handful of groups have achieved.
Seemingly a magnet for historic achievements, NCT DREAM is set to tick another one on its checklist. Back in 2020, the group is the last to hold a live concert in the Philippines before COVID-19 lockdown. Now, theyโll be one of the first international artists to perform live again after two years. Needless to say, NCT DREAM is making dreams come true with their return to the country.
