Head In The Clouds (HITC), a music and arts event hosted by the record label and media business 88rising, will debut this year following a two-year absence due to the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak.The festival will feature renowned artists from around the world, as well as stunning production concepts and Philippine arts exhibitions and cuisines.
The festival debuted in 2018 as the first Asian-focused music festival in the United States. It became a two-day festival in 2021 and returned to Los Angeles, California, in August 2022.
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.

The road to Super Show 9 is about to end as we count three more days before Super Junior returns to Manila!
Since PULP Live World announced the comeback of Super Junior, the OG Hallyu Kings, to the Philippine concert stage, the titos and titas of K-Pop took no time to hide their excitement as the hashtag dedicated to Super Show 9: Road in Manila trended among Philippine Twitter trends following the show’s announcement.
As the days go by and we start the D-3 countdown to show day, take a trip down memory lane with us with a list of Super Junior songs that will make you look back on the years passed and take you on a road of nostalgia.
Song #1: Mr. Simple
Mr. Simple, 2011
Super Junior released “Mr. Simple” as the lead single of their fifth studio album of the same name back in 2011 — more than a decade ago. Still, the 85th best-selling single of 2011 in Japan continues to sweep the world and presents the SJ Funky brand that will forever remind us of that era dominated by the boy group.
And the accolades received by “Mr. Simple” were testaments of its influence and success. The song gave Super Junior 11 music show wins and a nomination for Best Dance Performance by a Male Group at the 2011 Mnet Asian Music Awards. Moreover, its music video earned the boy group the Most Viewed Video of the Year award from YouTube K-Pop Awards.
Song #2: SPY
Spy, 2012
The random play dance on Weekly Idol is a giveaway that seeing Super Junior dance to “SPY” may take a lot of manifestation to happen, but the boys may treat us to a whole different version of the urban dance track.
“SPY” is the second promotional single for Super Junior’s sixth studio album Sexy, Free & Single and the title track of the re-packaged edition of the same name. The song peaked at the 10th spot on Gaon Weekly Digital Singles chart and the 8th spot on Gaon Weekly Online Downloads chart.
Song #3: Rokkugo (로꾸거!)
Rokkugo, 2007
“Rokkugo (로꾸거!)” takes us back to 15 years ago, having been released in 2007 by Super Junior-T — the second official subunit of Super Junior and the first idol group that focused on trot music. One of the boy group’s well-known songs, “Rokkugo (로꾸거!)” became the 16th best-selling record and best-selling single of 2007 in South Korea.
Song #4: Mamacita
Mamacita, 2014
The comeback that marked the return of Leeteuk and Heechul following the end of their mandatory military service, “Mamacita” served as the lead single of the boy group’s seventh studio album, Mamacita, released in South Korea. The song earned Super Junior nine music show wins.
And there is no denying that the song and its iconic “Ayayayaya” will always wake our reflexes and dance along.
Song #5: Devil
Devil, 2015
From Super Junior’s special album, Devil, the song “Devil” marked a milestone for the boy group as it was released in celebration of their tenth anniversary. The trendy and addictive melody of the song was perfectly complimented by the fun choreography.
Appreciating the laidback charms of Super Junior with this performance video of “Devil”:
Song #6: Black Suit
Play, 2017
If “Devil” marked Super Junior’s tenth anniversary, the release of “Black Suit” came in commemoration of the boy group’s 12th anniversary. The song, released on November 6, 2017, served as the title track of their eighth studio album, Play.
The dance-pop song peaked at number eight on Billboard’s World Digital Song Sales chart, while the album peaked at number one on Gaon Weekly Album and number three on Billboard’s Global 200 charts.
Song #7: Sorry, Sorry
Sorry, Sorry, 2009
Initially released as a digital single on March 9, 2009, the forever iconic, forever legendary “Sorry, Sorry” later served as the lead single of Super Junior’s third studio album and the best-selling album of 2009 in South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, China, and the Philippines — Sorry, Sorry.
“Sorry, Sorry” earned Super Junior ten music show wins and received critical and commercial success all over Asia, cementing their position as the Hallyu Kings. Moreover, this particular comeback saw their return as a full group following their sub-unit activities in China and South Korea and their last comeback as 13.
The undeniable cultural impact of “Sorry, Sorry” remains to be felt all over the world even after 13 years since its release. Look back on the legend, the icon “Sorry, Sorry” here:
Song #8: Bonamana
Bonamana, 2010
SJ Funky style continued on in 2010 with “Bonamana”, the title track of Super Junior’s fourth studio album of the same name. With the upbeat, electro-pop song, the boy group took home six music show wins. The release of “Bonamana” came after the success of their Asia tour, Super Show 2, which saw them perform live on the Philippine concert stage for the first time.
Song #9: Mango
The Road: Keep On Going, Vol. 1, 2022
In comparison to the other songs listed on this list, “Mango” is a new addition to the vast and ever-growing discography of Super Junior, being released on July 12 of this year. The song is the lead single of volume one of the boy group’s 11th studio album, The Road: Keep On Going.
Still, “Mango” and other tracks from the new album take ELFs to a different level of nostalgia as it showcases Super Junior’s longevity — the first SM group to release 11 studio albums in South Korea — and promises that Super Junior’s path will continue. The Road: Keep On Going speaks of the boy group’s past, present, and future.
Super Junior returns to Manila for their sixth solo concert in the country. Go on the road with them in Super Show 9: Road in Manila, happening at the SM Mall of Asia Arena on August 6 and presented by PULP Live World.

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 Masterzin 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.
Global superstar and GOT7 member BamBam gave Philippine Ahgases a week-to-remember with back-to-back events in the country.
The Thai singer kicked off his busy week in the Philippines with a fansigning event last July 26 at The Terraces, Ayala Center Cebu — the first ever fansigning event by a K-Pop artist in the Queen City of the South. Ahgases who participated in the event enjoyed a fun day as the GOT7 member did not hold back in giving them the best fansign experience.
Aside from requesting that the acrylic barrier separating him from fans be removed, BamBam also gamely granted fans’ requests, including saying “Forda gwapo this person” and hopping into the Extraordinary Attorney Woo trend. Truly the king of fan service, the GOT7 member treated everyone at the venue with a surprise performance of “riBBon”, the title track of his first extended play of the same name.
Following Cebu, BamBam flew to Manila to meet Ahgases at the fansigning event at the Activity Center, Ayala Malls Manila Bay last July 28. But prior to the main event, the singer granted members of the press the chance to ask questions and know him more thru the press conference.
From Cebu to Manila, BamBam and Ahgases go shot puno!
BamBam talked about eating bangus and sisig (That day’s TMI? He went to the comfort room thrice already thanks to the spicy sisig he had the night before.) He also gave a peak of his pre-show ritual which includes drinking Red Bull or sometimes, tequila.
The GOT7 member even hinted that a new album is in the works. “My next album, I am working on it. This time, it’s not so bright. I think you guys can see something new from me and that is a really big project right now in my company,” he shared. He also wanted to collaborate with his good friend and Filipino singer-actor James Reid.
Aside from music, BamBam talked about the character he wished to play in a drama. Initially unsure as he said he is bad at acting, the singer still considered that he wants to play a bad boy or playboy character.
Having debuted in 2014 with GOT7, BamBam is celebrating eight years in the industry. He shared how much he changed since his debut especially since going solo and also gave words of advice to aspiring artists — “Be yourself. Never give up.”
And just like in Cebu, the singer made sure that Ahgases went home with the biggest smiles on their faces and the best stories to share with the sweetest fan service. BamBam was all smiles in meeting and conversing with fans, holding their hands and heeding requests to “shot puno“.
Indeed, the GOT7 member made the years of waiting for Philippine Ahgases worth it with his generosity and lovable personality. The back-to-back fansign events were truly an experience to keep as vividly as possible in memories as another waiting game begins for BamBam’s return as he has promised.

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.
🎶 I wanna taste that sugar (oh, oh) So good but so bad Just the taste of that sugar (oh, oh) 🎶
