  • 10 Times Cha Eun Woo Smitten Us With His PAK NA PAK Charms In “Just One Ten Minute” In Manila

    10 Times Cha Eun Woo Smitten Us With His PAK NA PAK Charms In “Just One Ten Minute” In Manila

    Written by Danica Lacson

    With his undeniable good looks and seemingly limitless charms, Cha Eun Woo will surely make you swoon that it no longer surprised us that his first ever solo fan meeting in Manila was a sold-out show — filled with his adoring fans who have waited three years to see him once again on the local concert stage.

    Hundreds of fans flocked the New Frontier Theater on October 26 for the Manila leg of the 2019 CHA EUN WOO FIRST FAN MEETING <JUST ONE TEN MINUTE> which saw him visit five cities in Asia including Hong Kong, Taipei, Bangkok, and Kuala Lumpur. Manila served as the second to the last stop of his fan meeting tour.

    And because we can’t get enough of the ASTRO member and that memorable night, we relive the pak na pak moments that got us falling head over heels with Cha Eun Woo over and over again.

    #1 Yi Rim, we mean Cha Eun Woo, serenading Arohas in hanbok

    Rookie Historian Goo Hae Ryung may be over, wrapping its 40-episode run in September after almost two months, but Cha Eun Woo will not let us move on. The ASTRO member brought Yi Rim, his character in the drama, to the Philippines as he channels the prince during his opening number!

    Dressed in hanbok (Korean traditional clothing), Cha Eun Woo serenaded the crowd with “Please Remember”, his official soundtrack for the drama. During the talk portion, the singer-actor revealed that the hanbok he wore is the same hanbok he wore during the filming of the drama.

    #2 Going back in time to pre-debut Cha Eun Woo with the CHApago Challenge

    In case you did not know, a little over a month before debuting as a member of ASTRO in 2016, Cha Eun Woo participated in the well-known entertainment program Star Golden Bell Challenge. Although he used his real name Lee Dong Min, the show’s host still found out his stage name.

    Fast forward to three years after, Lee Dong Min is now known worldwide as ASTRO’s vocalist and the face genius Cha Eun Woo. Still, despite his huge popularity all over the world, the singer-actor used his fan meeting as an opportunity to look back on his Star Golden Bell Challenge stint through the CHApago Challenge where his memory was tested.

    It was truly a nostalgic moment because he also wore the same style of clothing he donned back then — complete with the red cap!

    #3 When he re-enacted a scene from Rookie Historian Goo Hae Ryung!

    We screamed “cute”! The ASTRO member was too adorable for words when he re-enacted his reaction in the drama after getting a kiss on the cheek from Goo Hae Ryung, played by Shin Se Kyung.

    Asked if he is also as thoughtful as his character Yi Rim in real life to the extent that he prepares meals for others, he said he cooks ramyeon for his members. But given the chance, he wants to cook traditional Korean food for his fans with the message “Mahal ko kayo“. *melts

    #4 Every time he talks about his members

    We felt how much Arohas miss ASTRO and their desire to see the boys stand on the Philippine concert stage again because every time Cha Eun Woo mentions his members, the crowd goes wild! But more so, we felt the close bond and affection of the boys through the stories the singer-actor shared about them.

    According to him, their leader Jin Jin takes care of them well that when eating out, he usually grills the meat for them. Without Jin Jin, Cha Eun Woo takes the initiative to grill the meat because the rest of the members don’t really know how to do it. He went on to say that Jin Jin, MJ, Moonbin, Rocky, and Sanha told him to meet Arohas well during his fan meeting tour. (Excuse us while we cry in the corner for a minute.)

    #5 That swoon-worthy “Love Yourself” performance with a piano

    Cha Eun Woo reminded us of how talented he is when he performed Justin Bieber’s “Love Yourself”. Giving his own rendition to the song, the singer-actor impressed with his piano skills and sweet voice. It was a cute and romantic moment, with fans gamely singing along and lightsticks up in the air forming a beautiful ocean.

    #6 Surprising Arohas with “Kathang Isip” song number

    Probably the highlight of the night, Cha Eun Woo made everyone’s jaw-drop when he started singing along to the familiar melody — Ben & Ben’s “Kathang Isip”! It was a beautiful moment that overwhelmed us with so much feels and admiration for him. Arohas were deeply touched by the effort he put into learning the song and singing it beautiful. Come on! What can’t Cha Eun Woo do?

    #7 Melting us once again with his aegyo

    We are weak for shy Cha Eun Woo to be honest. What started as a confident display of basketball skills — he got 16 shots in *applause applause* — came the failed showcase of soccer skills — it was the basket’s fault, right, Eun Woo? Although he failed to fulfill his mission of getting seven balls in by kicking in the time allotted, we are not, in any bit, complaining because we got cute Cha Eun Woo!

    The ASTRO member was all shy to do the aegyo penalty (He was so cute while being shy trying to be cute). But for his Arohas, he did it, not once, not twice, but thrice!

    https://twitter.com/philconcerts/status/1188089777490288641

    #8 Making a special dreamcatcher for Arohas to get good sleep

    The treats for his beloved Arohas did not end with the “Be Mine” aegyo because he had more up his sleeves. For his fans to get a good night sleep, he made two dreamcatchers! “I made this so that you will have good dreams in your sleep and not have nightmares,” he said. *gets kilig over and over again

    Two lucky fans took home the dreamcatchers and we are 100 percent sure they will have the best sleeps!

    #9 Bringing more colors to the night with a performance of “Rainbow Falling”

    On his final song number that night, Cha Eun Woo took us back to the drama got us believing that a handsome guy will love us regardless of our physical appearance. The singer- actor, who received much love for his character as Do Kyung Seok in the drama My ID is Gangnam Beauty, performed “Rainbow Falling”, his original soundtrack for the JTBC drama.

    #10 Promising to come back

    Although we officially said our farewell to Cha Eun Woo that night, we are holding on to his promise that he will come back! And we are keeping our fingers crossed that the next time he comes to the Philippines, he will be with Jin Jin, MJ, Moonbin, Rocky, and Sanha because we surely need an ASTRO solo concert soon!

    We are capping off this list with that hopeful wish while also smiling from ear-to-ear as we remember all those kilig moments from the 2019 CHA EUN WOO FIRST FAN MEETING <JUST ONE TEN MINUTE> at the New Frontier Theater last October 26.

    Read More: Day6 Sets Out For A Spectacular Night Of Music For PH My Days This November

    And in case you are thinking twice about attending the one-night only concert and making your way to TicketNet on October 27 to join your fellow My Days in securing that slot, Philippine Concerts is here to help you make up your mind and end your decisiveness as we list down six reasons why you must never let the opportunity to see Jae, Sungjin, Young K, Wonpil, and Dowoon live pass.

    #1 Jaw-Dropping Live Performances And Overflowing Energy From The Boys

    Believe us when we say that Day6’s live performances were intense, overflowing with so much energy and passion that you will find yourselves getting pulled deeper and deeper into their charms. The boys’ love for the stage and their enjoyment in performing radiate through their performances, passion they exhibited during their first solo concert last year at the New Frontier Theater.

    Although filmed performances and fancams do exist (which we are thankful for, to be honest), there is only so much you can see through your screens or those fancams you watch over and over again. Seeing Day6 live and witnessing first-hand their live stages will wow you even more. And those songs you have been wishing to see them perform? You can enjoy them fully during a concert.

    #2 Getting Lost In The Feels With The Roller Coaster Of Emotions Their Discography Can Give

    Since their debut in 2015 with their first extended play The Day led by “Congratulations”, Day6 has impressed with their wide-ranging discography that includes “Letting Go”, “I Wait”, “You Were Beautiful”, “I Loved You”, “Shoot Me”, “Beautiful Feeling”, “Time Of Our Life”, and their most recent single “Sweet Chaos”.

    Their songs have the ability to elicit emotions and hit its listeners right in the feels with their lyrics that talked about various topics — from falling in love, going through a heartbreak, moving on, growing up, embracing oneself, and so much more.

    #3 Head-Banging To New Sooooongs!

    Earlier this week, Day6 added a new album on My Days’ playlist with the release of their third regular album The Book Of Us: Entropy last October 22, introducing 11 songs namely “Deep In Love”, the title track “Sweet Chaos”, “Emergency”, “Rescue Me”, “365247”, “About Now”, “Ouch”, “Not Fine”, “Stop Talking”, “Not Mine”, and “Like A Flowing Wind”.

    It’s still unsure if the band will include these songs in the set list their remaining concerts for DAY6 WORLD TOUR <GRAVITY> (including the Manila stop). Still, as the concert tour is done in support of their fifth extended play The Book of Us: Gravity, new songs will definitely be added to the set list of their last year’s concert because it will now include “For Me”, “Time Of Our Life”, “How To Love”, “Wanna Go Back”, “Cover”, and “Best Part”.

    #4 See Day6 Go All Out As They Take Over A Bigger Stage

    For an energetic and passionate band such as Day6, a small stage is never enough to contain all their energy and dedication to the stage and their performances. That’s why, this year, expect Jae, Sungjin, Young K, Wonpil, and Dowoon to go all out and give their best stages as they stand on a bigger stage — the SMART Araneta Coliseum — and be cheered on by a greater number of My Days.

    #5 Enjoying The Moments With Your Fellow My Days

    Aside from seeing your favorite artists, concerts also give fans the opportunity to bond and let out all their feels with people who share the same passion and love. November 23 will be the day you get to meet your fellow My Days from all over the Philippines (and the world), cheering loud and proud and painting the venue with your fandom colors.

    Join your fellow fans in sending your big love to Day6 through fan projects and fan chants. We guarantee you. It will be a moment you won’t forget because these people know what you feel. And be warned, you might get drown in so much feels, so bringing tissues won’t hurt for pre-caution *winks

    #6 It’s Day6 — The Band That Is Worth All The Wait

    We have listed five reasons so far, but really, it all comes down to this one reason — Day6. Jae, Sungjin, Young K, Wonpil, and Dowoon missed you and are excited to once again meet you once again with new songs, superb performances, and words they wanted to relay to all of you.

    day6

    So, My Day, are you ready to be part of DAY6 WORLD TOUR <GRAVITY> in Manila on November 23 at the SMART Araneta Coliseum? Tickets to the show will go on sale on October 27 via TicketNet outlets nationwide and through online at www.ticketnet.com.ph.

  • Kang Daniel Weaves Colorful Memories With PH Danity In “Color On Me” Fan Meeting In Manila

    Kang Daniel Weaves Colorful Memories With PH Danity In “Color On Me” Fan Meeting In Manila

    October 19 witnessed the return of Kang Daniel on the Philippine concert stage after more than a year since last concert of his then-group Wanna One in the country. SM Mall of Asia Arena became colorful and livelier as the Nation’s Center holds his first ever solo fan meeting in the archipelago titled KANG DANIEL FAN MEETING: COLOR ON ME.

    Taking the stage as a solo artist this time, the singer proved that he is indeed South Korea’s best boy through his superb performances and his delightful display of charms that got made the wait of PH Danity worth it.

    Kang Daniel kicked off the momentous event with performances of “Through The Night” and “Color”, tracks from his chart-topping solo debut extended play Color On Me which he released in July this year. His top class performances were reciprocated with loud cheers that showcased the excitement of the fans to see their favorite star live in the Philippine shore.

    Events host Sam Oh then joined the singer on stage for a short talk session. The former Wanna One member took fans to his recently concluded Kuala Lumpur fan meeting and behind-the-scenes of his video series Colorful Daniel by sharing anecdotes and moments from the show and the shoots, respectively. He also revealed that he filmed a Colorful Daniel episode in the Philippines, as well. Look forward to that, PH Danity!

    Knowing how much his local fans missed him, Kang Daniel willingly shared more about himself to his adoring supporters through the TMI MANILA segment. Through that segment, fans found out that he woke up at 11 a.m. on the day of his fan meeting, and like many of us, it takes five to six alarms before he wakes up — very relatable! He also showed a never-before-seen photograph from his Color On Me album. And speaking of album, a lucky Danity got to take home a signed album!

    The display of charms of the singer did not end with the talk session. PH Danity also witnessed him take the challenge of doing the Relay Mini Olympic which involved turning five times, playing basketball (The way he confidently said he’s good at playing basketball got us saying “cute”!), and inserting a thread in a needle. Failing in the first round, the man of the hour took on the penalty of doing the “Rolex” dance challenge — much to the delight of the fans who were once again impressed by his dance skills.

    The night only got better as time passes for fans at the SM Mall of Asia Arena. Kang Daniel also gifted them with a slow dance, boyfriend photos, and push-ups! Only giving fans a short break from all the treats, he then returned on stage for captivating performances of “Horizon” and “What Are You Up To”, songs from the Color On Me EP with the latter being the album’s lead single.

    But Kang Daniel is not the only person with treats up his sleeves because his PH Danity also prepared a special video presentation and banner support for their beloved idol. It was a sweet display of affection and love for the singer — “Daniel’s happiness is our happiness.” It was also a promise to stand with him and always be there for him in his journey.

    Obviously overwhelmed by the love, Kang Daniel was speechless for a moment, repeatedly saying “waaahh” while trying to collect himself. The singer relayed his gratitude for the support and apologized to fans for making them wait. He also promised to come more often. With fans chanting “Kang Daniel, saranghae“, he replied with “me too.” In addition, the singer sent his regards to the people who were affected by the recent earthquake in the southern part of the Philippines. Thank you, Daniel!

    Before bidding goodbye, Kang Daniel made sure his fans went home with unforgettable memories with his special stage of Justin Bieber’s “Sorry” and his finale song, “I Hope”, from Color On Me EP. And because all good things must come to an end, KANG DANIEL FAN MEETING: COLOR ON ME ended with the singer going around the stage to say his goodbye and bow to PH Danity all over the arena.

    It may have taken more than a year for it to happen, but KANG DANIEL FAN MEETING: COLOR ON ME at the SM Mall of Asia Arena on October 19 was worth the wait as Kang Daniel and PH Danity weaved colorful moments for an unforgettable memory to look back to as we wait for the return of Kang Daniel on the Philippine concert stage.

    KANG DANIEL FAN MEETING: COLOR ON ME is presented by All Access Production, UnUsUal Entertainment, and KONNECT Entertainment. We would like to extend our gratitude to All Access Production for the invitation to the event.

  • 5 Moments From Lee Seung Gi’s “Vagabond Voyage” Fan Meeting In Manila That Made The Wait Worth It

    5 Moments From Lee Seung Gi’s “Vagabond Voyage” Fan Meeting In Manila That Made The Wait Worth It

    If people will ask me which South Korean actor I want to see in person, Lee Seung Gi will always top my list. He has been my favorite actor since that day I started watching My Girlfriend Is A Gumiho in 2010 where he played Cha Dae Woong, an aspiring actor who fell in love with the adorable Miho, a gumiho, played by Shin Min Ah. I have watched all his dramas — from Shining Inheritance to his current project Vagabond (and if only I could get a copy of The Infamous Chil Sisters, I will probably have binge-watched it already) — and savor every episode of them.

    That is why, that night of October 12, 2019, was a culmination of an almost decade-long of waiting and praying to finally see him on the Philippine shore — not only for me, but more so, for thousands of his Airens who filled the New Frontier Theater with warmth, sincerity, and joy for the one-night-only 2019 LEE SEUNG GI ASIA FAN MEETING <VAGABOND VOYAGE> in Manila.

    Allow me to take you back to that night when the dream has finally ended and has now become a reality as I list down five (from the many) special moments from Vagabond Voyage that made the wait for Lee Seung Gi worth it.

    Moment #1: A Nostalgic Opening Number Of “Because You’re My Woman”

    When the lights dimmed, everyone knew what is about to happen. Excited screams filled the venue, becoming louder when the first beat of “Because You’re My Woman” resonated and Lee Seung Gi finally came into view.

    The feels were overwhelming because the song took everyone back in time to when it all started — in the year 2004 when the then-17-year-old Lee Seung Gi debuted as a singer with the chart-topping hit “Because You’re My Woman” from his first album The Dream of a Moth. Fifteen years after, Philippine Airens got to witness the first ever live performance of the song in their home country.

    The song number was followed by the long-awaited greeting, a testament that, indeed, Lee Seung Gi is finally in the Philippines.

    Moment #2: His Generous Sharing Of Himself During The Talk Portion

    With a 15-year career under his belt and the fan meeting being his first visit in the country, a lot of catching up took place that night. Moreover, there is so much to talk about Lee Seung Gi. He is, in the first place, a Triple Threat Entertainer, who boasts an impressive track record and has been awarded for his works as a singer, actor, and variety show host with his most recent biggest win being a Daesang award for Master In The House from the SBS Entertainment Awards.

    Although he is grateful and honored for the recognition, the singer-actor said he does not put so much sentiment into awards. However, if there is an award for the most hardworking and diligent person, he said he wanted to win that award. And why not? Lee Seung Gi has been working non-stop since his debut and probably the longest break he had was his mandatory military service which he also accomplished well (He was a member of the special forces!).

    In fact, the singer-actor admitted going straight into filming his comeback drama Hwayugi a day after his military discharge. Currently, he stars as Cha Dal Gun in the drama Vagabond. The drama, which airs on SBS and is available on Netflix, reunited him with his Gu Family Book co-star Bae Suzy.

    The talk portion gave fans more reasons to admire Lee Seung Gi and be proud to be a fan of a dedicated person who puts so much of his time and effort into giving his all for his craft. It was also an opportunity to get to know him better (and his cute dog Perro), face palm a bit with his infamous dance, laugh with him when he kinda gave up on working with children again after Little Forest, smile when he said he wanted three children, worry because he got minor cuts and bruises while filming, and be proud at how his hard work has paid off.

     

    Moment #3: When He Only Wants The Best And Safest Lunch Box For His PH Airens

    Probably the cutest segment in the fan meeting, Lee Seung Gi tried his hand in making a lunch box for a lucky fan! It was too adorable to see him seemingly frustrated about the ingredients (especially about the carrot) and the tools laid out in front of him for the task and watch him do his best in making a unique kimbap (rice roll) using seaweed wrapper, rice, cheese, and grapes with mustard, ketchup, and mayo on the side while using his bare hands as requested by his fans. (“Philippine Airens seem to have strong stomachs,” he said.)

    Despite the limited time, ingredients, and tools, Lee Seung Gi did it impressively and got a “masarap” from the chosen fan who traveled all the way from Butuan City to see him that night. The singer-actor himself could not believe that his unique kimbap was approved and immediately put his newly-learned word “masarap” into use, saying “Masarap?! You liar!” to the fan.

    The segment was too cute for words, to be honest, that everyone was just laughing and smiling all throughout while Lee Seung Gi was adorably ranting about the ingredients and tools and worrying about the safety of the food for consumption.

    Aside from preparing a sweet snack for a fan, he also gamely played a relay game with nine fans where he did sipa, jump rope, charades, and one family. Although the game was exhausting, the singer-actor retained his smile all throughout and played well with the fans who also gave their best for their respective teams to win a photo opportunity with their idol. Every Airen will probably say “sana all” because the winning team’s representatives got to take home clothes personally worn by Lee Seung Gi during the filming of Vagabond. Again, all together now, “sana all“.

    Moment #4: That Mini Concert That Got Everyone Up His Or Her Feet!

    A Lee Seung Gi party went down at the New Frontier Theater as the singer-actor went all out and turned the venue into a concert stage, singing songs such as “Delete”, “Smile Boy” and “Let’s Go On A Vacation”. It was a fun memory, seeing the people inside the venue sing along and bop their head to the beat.

    Lee Seung Gi was also filled with energy as he jumps and dances to the music. It maybe a moment that lasted minutes, but it is now a memory that Philippine Airens will keep for a lifetime. As Lee Seung Gi said during the fan meeting, “The first memory is really just the perfect memory I’m so happy to have made it with my Filipino fans.” *cries in the corner

    Moment #5: That Video Message And Those Banners Prepared With So Much Love By PH Airens

    We cannot let this list end without giving a special shoutout to all the Philippine Airens who made the night extra meaningful for Lee Seung Gi and their fellow fans. Fans of the singer-actor made sure their beloved idol felt all the warmth and love in his first ever fan meeting in the Philippines through their fan projects.

    Sincerity was dearly felt that night on how much Lee Seung Gi meant to Philippine Airens through a video presentation that showcased their support and relayed their message to him. They also prepared banners which were raised while they were singing a song for him. It was a touching moment that got us smiling from ear-to-ear, extremely proud of Philippine Airens for their effort and sincere love for Lee Seung Gi.

    Before singing “Delete”, Lee Seung Gi relayed his gratitude to his Philippine Airens. “Thank you for inviting me. I appreciate you for giving me good memories,” he said.

    The 2019 LEE SEUNG GI ASIA FAN MEETING <VAGABOND VOYAGE> in Manila was journey Lee Seung Gi took to meet his Philippine Airens. After 15 years, the dream has finally ended, and the start of another journey has started for the singer-actor and his fans, his guiding compass.

    “In the future, please stay with me and continue being my compass,” Lee Seung Gi said in his special video message during the fan meeting’s finale. And as they have waited for more than a decade for that night, Philippine Airens will surely stay and help their beloved Lee Seung Gi find his route like they always did through these years.
