    Not A Common Cold: Tiny Moving Parts Live In Manila 2020

    What makes a performance — big or small — successful is a confluence of all its elements. Also, a performance makes it all special when it overcomes adversities and shortcomings.

    Last February 9, Tiny Moving Parts made their way back to the Manila stage at a time when traveling between countries has suddenly become a great big question mark.

    Fans got their quick health checks and even the organizers gave out free face masks to quell anxieties from any coronavirus/COVID-19 scare — which is something commendable from PULP Live World and worthy of emulation from all other concert and events organizers.

    The self-described family band went on stage with a singular goal of melting their fans’ minds and hearts with a scorcher of a set.

    Dylan Mattheisen was as effervescent as ever, and it was as if the entire energy of the room emanated from him. His cousins Matt and William Chevalier provided the steadiness of an aircraft carrier from which Dylan can launch his blistering guitar licks and lyrical outbursts.

    Fans showed how much a family they are as well, singing back and joshing along, always on cue. The night has a sense of solidarity between the band, the fans, the organizers — just everyone —that seemingly said “We’re going to make this gig awesome no matter what.”

    And they did make that night awesome.

    SETLIST:

    • The Midwest Sky
    • Applause
    • Headache
    • Bloody Nose

    • It’s Too Cold Tonight

  • All About NCT DREAM: The Boys Who Melt Our Hearts With Their Limitless Charms

    All About NCT DREAM: The Boys Who Melt Our Hearts With Their Limitless Charms

    Introduced as the third sub-unit of SM Entertainment’s boy group NCT, NCT DREAM has since made a mark in the Korean music industry, earning their rightful place as one of the rising boy groups of their generations. With recognition from Billboard and Time as leaders of the next generation of K-Pop acts and with Renjun, Jeno, Haechan, Jaemin, Chenle, and Jisung showcasing their limitless capabilities and charms, it is undeniable that their rise to the top is unstoppable.

    As we count down to the days before the Philippines will once again witness the boy group take over the Philippine concert stage in their first-ever solo show in the country, the NCT DREAM TOUR “THE DREAM SHOW”, we celebrate the start of NCT DREAM and feel the nostalgia while looking back on the past four years.

    READ: NCT Dream To Return To PH Concert Stage With “The Dream Show”

    THE BASICS

    Group Name: NCT DREAM, NCT’s third sub-unit which follows a graduation system

    Members: Renjun, Jeno, Haechan, Jaemin, Chenle, and Jisung

    Former Member: Mark, who graduated from the group on December 31, 2018

    Agency: SM Entertainment — home to renowned groups such as TVXQ, Super Junior, Girls’ Generation, SHINee, f(x), EXO, Red Velvet, and NCT

    Debut Date: August 25, 2016

    Fandom Name: NCTzen, a name shared by all fans of NCT which was revealed on June 12, 2017, after securing the highest number of votes

    THE START

    Before becoming members of NCT DREAM, most of the members were known as part of SM Rookies, SM Entertainment’s pool of trainees. In 2016, SM Entertainment’s Lee Soo Man shared his vision on launching a group that will comprise of sub-groups around the world.

    And that year, NCT came into fruition with NCT U as the first sub-unit with the release of “7th Sense” where Mark also made his first debut. In July 2016, NCT 127 came out with “Fire Truck”, marking their debut as the second sub-unit. Mark once again debuted with Haechan joining him in the lineup.

    On August 18 of that year, NCT DREAM was announced to be the third sub-unit of NCT. A few days after, the sub-unit released “Chewing Gum” as their first digital single, performing on M Countdown and making their official debut with Mark, Renjun, Jeno, Haechan, Jaemin, Chenle, and Jisung as the members.

    THE RISE OF NCT DREAM

    After almost a year, NCT DREAM made their first comeback through the release of their first single album The First. Unfortunately, Jaemin did not participate in the new era due to the complications from a herniated disc. Still, the boy group went on to show the world their promising career as The First debuted on top of Gaon Chart and “My First And Last” gave them their first-ever music show win on The Show. Their music show win, which they got on Valentine’s Day of 2017, was also the first music show win for an NCT unit.

    The boys continued the momentum with “Trigger The Fever”, a promotional single they released as official ambassadors of the 2017 FIFA U-20 World Cup Korea. And after only six months since The First, the boy group came back with their first extended play We Young which included the title track of the same name and its Chinese version, “La La Love”, “Walk You Home”, “My Page”, and “Trigger The Fever”.

    NCT DREAM closed 2017 with the single “Joy” as part of SM Entertainment’s digital music project, SM Station.

    THE YEAR OF NCT

    The year 2018 kicked off with a jam-packed first quarter which saw all NCT U, NCT 127, and NCT DREAM come together for NCT 2018, a project that put together the 18 members of NCT (including then-new members Kun, Jung Woo, and Lucas). In March, the boy group’s first full-length album NCT 2018 Empathy was released which contains six singles including the full-group track “Black On Black” and NCT DREAM’s “Go”. “Go” also marked Jaemin’s first comeback with NCT since his debut.

    NCT DREAM decorated the third quarter of 2018 with their second EP We Go Up which included tracks “We Go Up” and its Chinese version, “1, 2, 3”, “Beautiful Time”, “Drippin’”, and “Dear Dream”. The EP topped Gaon Chart and placed 22nd on the chart’s year-end list. Additionally, it ranked number five and number seven on the World Albums Chart and Heatseekers Albums Chart of Billboard.

    The boys were also listed as the only Asian act in Billboard’s 21 Under 21 2018: Music’s Next Generation and on Time’s 25 Most Influential Teens of 2018.

    Before the year ended, NCT DREAM once again participated in SM Station with “Candle Light”. However, 2018 also signaled Mark’s graduation from the sub-unit.

    THE COLLABORATIONS, THE NEW ERA, AND THE DREAM SHOW

    The year 2019 saw NCT DREAM explore more in terms of their music through collaborations with HRVY in “Don’t Need Your Love” and PrettyMuch in “Up To You”. The boys also made their first comeback with Mark last year through the release of their third EP We Boom featuring the title song “Boom”.

    That year also witnessed the debut of NCT DREAM on the Philippine concert stage through the 2019 K-Pop Friendship Concert In Manila where they shared the stage with April and Noir.

    They then kicked their first concert tour, The Dream Show, in Seoul and Bangkok. The tour will also bring Renjun, Jeno, Haechan, Jaemin, Chenle, and Jisung to the Philippines once again on February 29 at the New Frontier Theater. Tickets to the concert have been sold out on the first day of ticket selling, proving the immense popularity of the boy group in the archipelago.

    Aside from their growth as artists and their on-going tour, there truly is no stopping NCT DREAM from soaring high as they continue to add accolades under their name including becoming the first global ambassadors of the World Scout Foundation, making it on Billboard’s 21 Under 21 list for the second consecutive year, and taking home Hot Performance of the Year from Gaon Chart Music Awards, Disk Bonsang from Golden Disc Awards, and Bonsang Award from Seoul Music Awards.

    Going four years in the industry, the growth of NCT DREAM as artists has been exceptional. With achievements coming one after the other and deserving recognitions being given, there is no denying that the boys will continue to rise — with us keeping our fingers crossed that this family will only grow.

    PH NCTzens, are you ready to celebrate the awesomeness of our Dreamies? See you on February 29 at the New Frontier Theater!

    NCT DREAM TOUR “THE DREAM SHOW” IN MANILA is brought to you by SM Entertainment, Dream Maker Entertainment Limited, and PULP Live World.

  • DJ Hyo Creates The Perfect Mix Of Fun And Nostalgia In Exclusive DJ Set In Manila

    DJ Hyo Creates The Perfect Mix Of Fun And Nostalgia In Exclusive DJ Set In Manila

    Words by Mari Mikhaela Javier and Danica Lacson

    The weekend was fun and badster for SONEs in the Philippines as they get treated the best weekend party in the Metro last February 8 at the House Manila, where Girls’ Generation’s Hyoyeon fired up the stage as DJ Hyo in her exclusive DJ set.

    The “Badster” artist put a thrilling spin to her hits and classic songs of her group, putting attendees in the hype and utmost energy. Opening the show for her are DJ Angelo G., singer-songwriter Lox, and DJ Nix Damn P. — three artists who kept the energy high and the crowd in the mood with their stages.

    And because we know you can’t get enough of that fun and nostalgic party at the House Manila, here are some highlights (and photos) from DJ Hyo’s exclusive DJ set.

    Welcoming Hyoyeon Back In Manila

    Five years in the making, Hyoyeon finally comes back to Manila to meet her fans and party the night away as the main DJ for the night. Her group, Girls’ Generation, last visited the Philippines back in 2015 as part of the line up for Best of Best in the Philippines, together with BtoB, Red Velvet, and Super Junior. DJ Hyo also made her debut in the Philippine stage in 2019 in Cebu.

    This year, it was Manila’s time to bask in the awesomeness of the talented performer as she makes her appearance as DJ Hyo at the House Manila last February 8. She got everyone up their feet with her songs “Sober”, “Punk Right Now”, and “Badster”.

    Feeling The Nostalgia With Girls’ Generation Hits

    SONEs at the venue were perhaps feeling all sorts of emotions when DJ Hyo played Girls’ Generation’s greatest hits such as “Gee” and “The Boys”. People at the venue were grooving to the beat of the remix and singing along to the songs, bringing, not only fun but nostalgia. SONEs also turned House Manila into a concert venue by lighting up the scene with their lightsticks.

    Partying The Night Away With DJ Hyo And SONEs

    We really felt the yearning of fans to see their favorite girl back in the Philippines. Although coming alone, SONEs did not hold back in making sure Hyoyeon feel all the love and support and has the best night. The party was also intimate, giving room for DJ Hyo to interact and meet her fans up close.

    DJ Hyo’s exclusive DJ set at the House Manila was a testament of the immense talents of Hyoyeon whom we first loved as Girls’ Generation’s dancing machine. More than a decade into her career, Hyoyeon continues to transform and tap on her capabilities, treating fans to new sides of herself every time. Still, we also witnessed how rooted she is on her roots and how she never forgets the group she came from.

  • SEVENTEEN And Carats Team Up For A Concert Worth Remembering In “Ode To You” In Manila

    SEVENTEEN And Carats Team Up For A Concert Worth Remembering In “Ode To You” In Manila

    Words and photos by Danica Lacson

    Even before the lights went off to signal the start of SEVENTEEN WORLD TOUR “ODE TO YOU” IN MANILA, the energy was already high — energy that never waned, instead, continued to soar, in the almost three-hour-long concert that marked SEVENTEEN’s fourth visit in the country and third solo concert.

    There was no hint of tiredness from Carats who waited more than a year to welcome their favorite boys back to the Philippine concert stage and who kept their fingers crossed and hands in prayer for days with the hope that the concert pushes through in the midst of the 2019-nCov outbreak.

    Your energy tonight was really amazing that I also felt happy. I hope tonight will be a good memory and will give you energy. Let’s see each other soon.

    The8

    Precautionary measures were in place on February 8 at the SM Mall of Asia Arena with PULP Live World urging every attendee to wear face mask and undergo security check where body temperature and travel history were checked. PULP Live World’s Happee Sy-Go was also in close coordination with the staff and crew of the boy group, making sure everything is good on their end and that no member of the entourage has been to China in the recent weeks.

    And all these efforts surely paid off as a fun, aju nice show unfolded that evening, lighting up the arena with rose quartz and serenity and writing a beautiful ode that will be remembered for a lifetime.

    With fans singing along, cheers booming, and lightsticks lighted and up, SEVENTEEN once again dominated the Philippine concert stage where they kicked off the highly-awaited show with charismatic stages of the remix versions of “Getting Closer”, “Rock”, and “Clap”. The members, sans leader S.Coups who is on hiatus due to health reason, reciprocated the passion of their Carats with a zestful greeting of “Hello, kami ang SEVENTEEN” and self-introductions.

    The boys then wasted no time as they went on to mesmerize their fans with performances of their hits “Thanks” and “Don’t Wanna Cry”. But it was too early to get speechless as they have more treats up their sleeves that evening including unit stages of the hip-hop team, performance team, and vocal team.

    The members of SEVENTEEN once again reminded us of their immense talents and capabilities as they confidently showcased what they got as units. Hip-hop team sizzled with “Trauma” and “Chilli”, while the performance team brought out the beauty in “Lilili Yabbay” before heating up the arena with “Shhh”. Silence filled the venue as everyone marvels at the vocal team’s soothing and emotional stages of “Hug” and “Don’t Listen In Secret”. But the boy group did not end there as they gave us all the feels with a performance of “Space” by Wonwoo, Vernon, Mingyu, DK, and S.Coups whose voice resonated during the performance — an emotional treat that made Carats go “aww”.

    After making our hearts burst with emotions in “Space”, SEVENTEEN went on to warm our hearts with a sweet serenade of “Smile Flower”, a song they dedicated to their Carats who then returned the love by singing the song back to their favorite boys.

    Nostalgia then hit hard in SVT Museum, a segment that brought us back in time with a relay of performances of SEVENTEEN’s greatest hits such as the boy group’s debut song “Adore U”, the song that gave the boys their first music show win “Pretty U”, the track that won them a Best Dance Performance by a Male Group “Oh My”, and a full group version of BSS’s debut song “Just Do It”. The boy group also performed “Good To Me”, the Korean version of their Japanese single “Happy Ending”, and one of their latest track “Fear”.

    Aside from treating Carats with their utmost energy and hard work through their performances, Jeonghan, Joshua, Jun, Hoshi, Wonwoo, Woozi, The8, Mingyu, DK, Seungkwan, Vernon, and Dino also shared heartwarming words to their fans during their final ment. The members expressed their appreciation to Carats who came to the concert and gave their best energy tonight.

    “We had so much fun today. I know it has been a long time since the last time we came. You probably missed us a lot. We are happy to be back and see your faces. We really appreciate all the love. We hope to be back. Mahal ko kayo,” said Joshua. Hoshi also relayed his thanks to the fans for welcoming SEVENTEEN with such big love, leaving with a promise to have more fun in their next visit. He then left a sweet message saying, “Even though we are far from each other, our hearts are still together.”

    Mingyu echoed Hoshi’s promise and wished for the fans to stay healthy, not get sick, and be happy. DK relayed his gratitude in Filipino with “Manila, salamat po.” He added, “Seeing you guys enjoy the concert made us happy too. Please remember tonight’s concert.” Dino, who earlier called Manila Carats as “real Carats”, said they will repay the love of their fans with better performances.

    Seungkwan also shared that Manila has always been part of their journey, having visited the country since their first Asia tour in 2016 which was followed by Diamond Edge and Ideal Cut in 2017 and 2018, respectively. “Every time we are here, we are always touched by you. Tonight was the most touching moment of all,” Seungkwan said.

    SEVENTEEN WORLD TOUR “ODE TO YOU” IN MANILA closed with encore stages of “9-Teen”, “HIT”, and the never-ending and always fun “Aju Nice”.

    SEVENTEEN WORLD TOUR “ODE TOU YOU” IN MANILA was presented by Pledis Entertainment, Live Nation, and PULP Live World. Special thanks to PULP Live World for the invitation to the event.

  • Eric Nam Charms Manila In “Before We Begin” Concert

    Eric Nam Charms Manila In “Before We Begin” Concert

    Words and photos by Danica Lacson

    South Korean singer-songwriter Eric Nam delivered an unforgettable TED Talk, we mean, concert, at the New Frontier Theater last January 10, captivating Nam Nation from all over the Philippines with his live performances, wit, humor, and personality.

    EN Management, CJ E&M, and Onion Production brought ERIC NAM ASIA TOUR 2020 “BEFORE WE BEGIN” to the Philippine shore which marked Nam’s first solo concert in the country and the second stop of the Asia leg of his tour which kicked off in Taipei. And Nam Nation’s long-wait really paid off as the singer-songwriter treated the crowd with 100 percent of his energy, not withholding in giving the fans a one-for-the-books evening with all the surprises and treats he prepared.

    Nam opened the show with a string of lively performances of his hit songs “Come Through”, “Runaway”, “Miss You”, and “Good For You”. It was a big party, with everyone singing along and moving to the beat of every track. Still, the night was also a witness to the versatility of the singer-songwriter as he smoothly moves from one genre to another, dazzling Nam Nation with songs such as “Cave Me In”, “Lose You”, “Potion”, “This Is Not A Love Song”, “Honestly”, “Idea Of You”, and “Hold Me”.

    But it is not only his musicality that deserves the applause that evening as he also did not hold back in showing his dancing skills and his expertise in doing body rolls with his performances of “Don’t Call Me” and “You’re Sexy, I’m Sexy”. Completing the jam-packed setlist of the night are tracks from his latest album, Before We Begin, such as “Before We Begin”, “Love Die Young”, “Congratulations”, “How’m I Doing”, and “Wonder”, and his 2016 collaboration with Loco titled “Can’t Help Myself”.

    It was a show like no other — filled with music and interactions that were made extra special by Nam Nation who reciprocated the energy of Nam with their love and support as exhibited by the fan projects they prepared for the singer-songwriter. The crowd put up banners, lighted up the venue with the colors of the Philippine flag, and waved yellow handkerchiefs up in the air. There were gifts too, filled with thoughts and warm regards for Nam.

    And the sweetest treat? Nam Nation serenaded the singer-songwriter with “Pag-Ibig Na Kaya?”, the Filipino version of Nam and Cheeze’s duet “Perhaps Love” which was originally performed by HoWL for the Korean drama Princess Hours. Nam joined in, sweetly singing the song back to his fans.

    “Thank you so much for coming. Thank you so much for all your gifts. I will not forget this. Manila, you are crazy,” he said, which he also echoed on his social media posts where he wrote, “Thank you, Manila, Nam Nation. You guys were FREAKING AMAZING. See you again soon!”

    The hours may have been quick, but Eric Nam made sure everyone gets home with bountiful of unforgettable memories to look back to from his TED Talk a.k.a. concert. It was an evening of escape where everyone was simply on his or her feet, singing loud, dancing confidently, and having fun.

    ERIC NAM ASIA TOUR 2020 “BEFORE WE BEGIN” was presented by EN Management, CJ E&M, and Onion Production. Special thanks to Onion Production for the invites to the concert.

  • Tiffany Young Dazzles Manila In “Open Hearts Eve” Concert

    Tiffany Young Dazzles Manila In “Open Hearts Eve” Concert

    “Tonight is about feeling free, however the hell you want, singing as loud as you want! If you feel like moving, don’t be afraid to stand up and dance!” Tiffany Young said as she began Open Hearts Eve to a jampacked crowd at the New Frontier Theater on January 25.

    As a member of Girls’ Generation/SNSD, one of the biggest girl groups in South Korea, Tiffany is no stranger to our country. Her last performance with the group was at the Best of Best concert at the Philippine Arena on 2015. Having left SM Entertainment on 2017, she signed under Transparent Arts, an American entertainment agency, and pursued a solo career thereafter.

    The concert attracted multitudes of loyal SONEs (Girls’ Generation fans) and Young Ones (her fanbase’s name) who passionately cheered and sang along with her for almost two hours. The bright pink hues of the Girls’ Generation lightsticks (fondly called as Molar Bongs) filled the theater all throughout the evening. Fans also prepared special projects for Tiffany, including the synchronized lights during “Yellow Light”, plus the welcome and farewell banners.

    Tiffany was a captivating presence onstage as she performed a mixture of her original songs, cover songs and some nostalgic Girls’ Generation classics. The show progressed like a theatrical play with Tiffany Young as the main character. There were magnificent lights and elegantly choreographed sequences, all backed by a live band. This amplified the concert experience, making it more entertaining than usual.

    She made a fiery beginning with “Run for Your Life”, “Over My Skin” and “Heartbreak Hotel”. She then paid tribute to the divas she admired as she performed endearing covers of Destiny’s Child’s “Independent Women”, Lee Hyori’s “Invincible” and Uhm Jonghwa’s “Invitation”. More notably, Tiffany also paid homage to our very own Lea Salonga in her short but sweet rendition of “Reflection” and “A Whole New World”.

    Young Ones prepared a surprise video tribute for her which showed snippets of her recent interviews and some heartfelt commentaries from fans who expressed their gratitude to their idol. Tiffany, moved to tears by the gesture, was overflowing with gratitude as she took in the crowd’s cheers and jeers.

    She was also a beacon of positivity as she encouraged her fans to be open and to support one another. “That’s what ‘Open Hearts Eve’ is about — the fact that we can open up and embrace both light and dark, and hold one another, and be there for one another, not judge, and just love each other just the way we are,” she said.

    “The most amazing thing I have found with you is our voices. So no matter what it is you’re feeling, what it is you’re going through, don’t forget that this is the most powerful, most wonderful thing we have together. If we come together, there’s nothing we can’t go through. Thanks to you, I’ve had an amazing few years to step out and go after the things I want no matter the outcome. And guess what? The outcome is pretty amazing ‘cause I’m here with you tonight.”

    Tiffany has a flamboyant yet mellowly warm manner of speaking that highlights her caring personality. At one point, the crowd chanted “mumshie” (Filipino slang word for mother) which she accepted lightheartedly, saying “Mommy Long Legs! I live for that!”

    Another highlight of the concert was the finale. As Tiffany sang a stripped down version of Girls’ Generation’s “Into the New World”, the fans seated in the front row brought out big head cardboard cut-outs of the GG members’ faces, much to her surprise and delight. “I feel like they’re here”, she said. Eventually, she went down the stage to take the photos, saying she’ll be giving them to the girls. Later on, she posted a photo with the cut-outs with the hashtag #GG4EVA.
