  • Taeyeon Heats Up Manila!

    Taeyeon Heats Up Manila!

    Taeyeon of SNSD (So Nyuh Shi Dae/ Girls’ Generation) soared high with the recent Manila leg of her “S..” tour at the New Frontier Theatre last December 14.

    SONEs (So-Wons), the fandom of SNSD, signifies that the group and their fans will forever be one, and it was indeed a night where Filipino SONEs and Taeyeon became one. Local SONEs have been anticipating Taeyeon’s return, since the last Manila concert that Girl’s Generation participated in is already three years ago. Well, it was definitely worth the wait, wasn’t it?

    The sold-out concert for Taeyeon’s tour was full of energy and brimming with enthusiasm coming from both Taeyeon and the fans. The stage was set beautifully, and made the fans even more excited for what was to unfold for the next two hours. They kept on chanting Taengoo’s (Taeyeon’s nickname) name and sang along to her songs while waiting for the concert to start.

    Taeyeon kicked off with “Here I Am”, where a music video was played in the background. It was followed by “I Got Love,” and “Fire” which was complimented by her red outfit. Known as one of the most powerful vocalists of Korea’s SM Entertainment label, Taeyeon belted out “Rain,” “All Night Long,” “Baram Baram” and “Why,”. She was impressed when PH SONE’s sang along., musing “Wow you know all my songs, I really didn’t expect the support from you guys, thank you so much”.

    The concert felt like a fan meeting as she made sure to interact with her fans. There was even a moment when she shared her sentiments and PH SONEs kept on jeering her with “Iiyak na yan” to which she reacted. She was even tagged as the “Pambansang Beshy/Beshie” and she actively played along by repeating every Filipino word uttered by her fans. Taeyeon also conveyed how elated she was meeting her Filipino fans, saying

    “How long have you guys waited for me? I also waited a long time for you guys. For us to come here, there are lots of things that happened, but I thought that you guys are the most important thing. I will go back to Korea thinking that my decision wasn’t wrong”

    The concert progressed and she crooned the crowd with “One Day,” “Gemini,” “Christmas Without You” “I’m all Ears,” and “Gravity”. The climax of the night was the live rendition of her song “Fine”, which definitely sent goosebumps to every fan inside the theatre. She mentioned that it was her first time experiencing a warm December, and jokingly asked if a Philippine Santa wears a bikini. “It’s my first time to experience a really hot December. It’s not bad, it’s actually really good”.

    As the concert went on, the energy from the audience never floundered as fans kept on livening the mood with loud cheers. Taeyeon said that the shrieks and cheers make it feel like World Cup and Olympics. “I really really feel that if we go to the World Cup, we’ll win”.

    Sadly, the two-hour concert had to come to an end. Taeyeon performed “Time Lapse,”, “Circus,” and I” for her encore. “I think today’s concert will be very memorable for me. I’m so happy that I was able to sing to you guys for a very long time and I’m so happy that I was able to receive your energy and passion, SONEs are really the funniest in the world. PH SONEs are the best. SONE 짱야!!”

    After years of waiting, the yearning heart of PH SONEs were quenched with fabulous performances from Taeyeon. We’ll definitely wait for the time that we’ll be able to see Taeyeon along with the other members of Girl’s Generation.
