Former Super Junior member Kangin returned to Manila to kick off his fan meeting tour, ‘Stunning Together,’ on January 11 at the SM North EDSA Skydome.

Officially returning after 13 years, with his last visit being in October 2013 for Super Junior’s ‘Super Show 5’ concert, Kangin was naturally shy at first. As the show progressed, however, he shared, “I was very excited, but nervous as well. Thanks to your passionate welcome, I think my anxiety levels are going down. I’ll make sure to create the best memories for you guys.”

The singer delivered on his promise as the segments went on. His excitement was palpable as he shared the Filipino food he tried and loved, including Jollibee, halo-halo, and crispy pata. After hearing the crowd’s reactions, Kangin even joked, “By any chance, do you have crispy pata in your bags?” earning laughter from the audience.

The show became even more intimate yet playful as Kangin entertained fans with dance challenges flashed on screen. He drew louder screams when he attempted ‘Budots,’ a Filipino dance trend, and happily obliged when fans asked him to do it again.

He also played a game of charades with lucky audience members. When asked what he wanted to say to his fans, Kangin shared, “One of the biggest goals for my fanmeet was to make you guys smile or laugh. The biggest desire I have through this fanmeet is to create memories with you. So take pictures of me now.” He added humorously as he walked around the stage, striking different poses.

Although shy at first, the energy of his fans fueled him to show his fun and playful side. Throughout the show, Kangin repeatedly mentioned how nervous he had been at the start, but relaxed as he felt the warmth of his audience.

He went on to perform “Mientes” and “Love Is Pain,” before coming down from the stage to greet fans with flowers while performing Super Junior’s “Pajama Party” for his encore.

Fans prepared a surprise video expressing how much he is appreciated, leaving Kangin visibly thankful for their continued support through the years. In one of his closing messages, he said, “It is really meaningful for me that my first stop is the Philippines. It’s been so long since we’ve been able to meet again. I missed you as much as the time that has passed. I really wanted to meet you guys so much.”

Instead of saying goodbye, Kangin left his fans with a heartfelt promise: “Just like how we’re stunning together, I’ll do my best to grow even more.”
