KPOP WORLD MUSIC FESTIVAL IN MANILA

I had no hopes to get to watch this concert but the heaven was so nice to me. Thank you for letting me see Red Velvet!

The show was held at the Mall of Asia Arena last June 09, 2019. The line up are Elris, Sohee (soloist, member of Elris), Kim Donghan, NCT 127, and Red Velvet . Ryan Bang serves as the host and translator for the show. I had no idea that he will be the host so me and my cousin were very shock when we saw him at the stage.





Sohee started the show, followed by Kim Donghan (who would have thought I would see you my boys from Produce 101 S2 one by one visiting Manila, I am so happy that despite not making it to the final top he was able to debut successfully as a solo artist). Elris performed next only 4 members showed up on stage to perform. We later discovered that one their member, Bella, was injured that's why she wasn't able to join them performing but despite her situation she still flew all the way from Korea to be with her fans. So thoughtful of her. Hope she gets better. Though I am not really familiar with them so I made some research before going to the concert and I really liked their song Summer Dream, which they sang at the opening of their performance.


Next to perform was NCT 127 of course they aside from Red Velvet this group is also the most awaited from the fans. The arena was almost filled with yellow green? idk a lot of fans their were NCTizens. I really love the color of their lightstick it realy shines in the dark. The crowd gets loud and wild when they stepped on the stage. In the middle of introduction from NCT Ryan Bang cut it out and explain why he wasn't able to go out when Kim Donghan was trying to communicate with the fans and he was not around to translate. He said that Vice Ganda kept on calling him to say that Sharon Cuneta was their to support NCT. We all know Ate Shawie to be a rising fan of kpop most especially of Twice and NCT. It was funny and at the same time proud to see her cheering really loud for the boys. He even shout once "MGA ANAK KO YAN" during NCT's performance. I was actually waiting for them to perform BOSS bcos I started to love it after I heard it being performed at the current season of Produce which is Produce X 101. The song was part of the show's Position Evaluation. I find it really cool so I was hoping maybe they could perform it. HAHA. But they didn't :( sad. NCT performs Firetruck, Cherry Bomb (the chants gets louder every time "I'm the biggest hit" part comes), Regular, Simon Says, and Superhuman.

Of course, last but not the least, presenting the stars of the night...RED VELVET! After 4 years we meet again. It was during Best of Best in Manila I met them for the first time and now that you've return I'm so glad that I was their so see you again ♥.

Red Velvet kick off their first stage with Red Flavor, if you think the crowd got tired during the stage of NCT I bet you that was just a rehearsal! The moment that lights on, everyone in the arena sang along to the intro of Red Flavor upto the end. Some dances along. It was a really wild stage and crowd. The group perform their other hit songs like Power Up, Bad Boy and Moonlight Melody.

They ended their stage with a charistmatic performance of Really Bad Boy.

During the interview, the host asked each member what do they want to do the next time they visit the Philippines for a vacation. Joy said that her brother is studying here in Manila she wants to comeback and spend time to tour around with her brother, while Seulgi said that from her room she can see the Manila Bay so she wants to go to the Manila Bay. Irene wants to have a solo concert in Manila, well of course we all want it; so the moment she said that the fans cheered "solo con" really loud. I'm sorry I forgot what Wendy and Yeri said.

It was a quick show ended in 2 hours, but somehow worth it. Each artists get to atleast perform 5 songs each. The show was fun also because of Ryan Bang, thank you for your kindess!

I hope to RV again, this time Solo Concert! Woohoo~
