The feeling was all good as Ha Sung Woon, Kim Jae Hwan, and Momoland bring good energy at the Araneta Coliseum on October 5 for Good Friends in Manila.

The first Saturday of October 2019 saw hundreds of K-Pop fans flock The Big Dome to see their favorite Korean acts perform at the Philippine concert stage in the one-night only event that was presented by DnM Entertainment. HA:NUEL, WIN:D, Hotple, Wannables, and Merries from all over the Philippines (and probably, the world) gathered together and showed their passion and support for idols who also did not hold back in giving their 100-percent in every performance that night.

Ha Sung Woon kicked off the night with “Bird”, the title track of his solo debut extended play My Moment which was released in February this year and marked his first solo release following the end of Wanna One’s activities. The singer then wasted no time as he followed up “Bird” with “Riding” from his second EP BXXX and his collaboration with rapper Gaekho.

As if giving his fans to take deep breaths following the heated performances of “Bird” and “Riding”, Ha Sung Woon greeted his fans for the first time as a solo singer. He said it has been a long time since he last saw his fans in the Philippines as it has been more than a year since he stood on the concert stage with Wanna One’s concert in the country last year being the last.

The Hotshot member also recounted the vacation he had with his friends SHINee’s Taemin, EXO’s Kai, Hotshot’s Timoteo, and VIXX’s Ravi in Cebu. According to him, he enjoyed diving. He then shared his wish to go on a vacation in the Philippine once again — this time, to visit Tagaytay.

After the brief interview, Ha Sung Woon intensified the energy inside The Big Dome through his stages of “Tell Me I Love You” and “Blue Maze” from My Moment and BXXX, respectively. After a sweet “thank you” and “I love you” to fans and a promise to show good performances in the future, the singer ended his set with “Blue” and “What Are You Doing” (plus a big heart sign as he exits the stage).

Ha Sung Woon may have concluded his set, but for fans of Wanna One, the night is far from over as Kim Jae Hwan took the baton next and captivated everyone in the venue with his soothing voice as he sang “Begin Again” and “Blow Me” from his debut extended play Another. The night turned hotter when the singer showed off his dancing skills with performance of “Sorry Not Sorry”.

The night then just got better when Kim Jae Hwan serenaded Araneta Coliseum with “Black Sky”, his original soundtrack from the Korean drama Chief of Staff. But the singer was not done yet as he made it harder to breath for WIN:D and Wannables through the performances of “Neighbors Know My Name” and his finale song “Designer”.

And Wannables are truly in for a treat because Kim Jae Hwan revealed, although he returned to Manila as a solo artist this time, he enjoyed his visit in the Philippines because he was with fellow Wanna One member Ha Sung Woon! Please give us a moment to collect our feels. But not only that, WIN:D and Wannables! The singer also shared his plans to release a new album soon! However, for those who wish to see actor Kim Jae Hwan, you might have to wait a bit more as he said he wanted to focus on his music in the meantime.

Before ending his set, the singer relayed his hope for his fans not to forget the night and to keep supporting him in his music and future activities.

Following Kim Jae Hwan, the girls of Momoland brought their good energy on stage as they perform a total of ten songs that night! Philippine Merries were up for a memorable night as the girl group reciprocated the warmth and love of their fans with great energy and sweet treats.

Momoland welcomed fans to their land with “Welcome to Momoland”, earning collective cheers from the fans whom the girls thanked for their warm welcome every time they visit the country. The girls then got the crowd falling for their charms in “Falling U”, followed by “Bingo Game” and “Holiday”. The night became extra wonderful as the girl group put an EDM twist to “Wonderful Love”.

And the night will never be complete without the girls of Momoland performing their latest hit “I’m So Hot” and the hits that catapulted them to Hallyu fame “BAAM” and “Bboom Bboom”. But, aside from the superb performances they gave in Good Friends concert, the girls also gifted the Philippines a thoughtful gift by donating their performance fee that night to the needy children in Antipolo. Thank you, Momoland!

In addition, the girls also prepared a special gift for their Philippine Merries — a cover of Yeng Constantino’s “Salamat”! “Thank you, Philippines! You mean so much to us,” said the girls as they say goodbye to their fans following the end of the concert. Still, fans of the girl group can look forward to more of Momoland as the girls signed a contract with local television station ABS-CBN. In fact, Nancy is even set to star in a television series with James Reid titled Soulmate.

Two hours flew by so fast when you are having fun! Although we will miss Ha Sung Woon, Kim Jae Hwan, and Momoland, we got plenty of memories from Good Friends in Manila to remember and cherish as we wait for their return. Thank you to DnM Entertainment for having Philippine Concerts!
