[FEATURE] 3 Reasons Why You Shouldn’t Miss ‘OVERPASS’ 2023 in Manila

As a seemingly infinite flow of Korean acts continue to fill big venues in the Philippines, OVERPASS: K-Pop Music Concert offers a night of stellar performance with today’s best of K-Pop — EXO‘s Baekhyun, Jeon Somi, and B.I!

Happening on June 11, 2023 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum, OVERPASS brings together EXO-Ls, Sommungchis, and I.Ds for the ultimate fan gathering celebrating the excellence of K-Pop in music, R&B, soul, and hip-hop genres.

Here are a few things you wouldn’t want to miss at OVERPASS:

1. Baekhyun’s Much-Awaited Return

After being officially discharged from his two-year military service last February, Filipino EXO-Ls surely missed seeing the one-and-only Byun Baekhyun! Picking up from the release of his album Bambi in March 2021, the main vocalist of EXO is now unstoppable as he has been appearing in festivals around the globe immediately since his return.

Just imagine singing along to Betcha and Candy as Filipino EXO-Ls finally reunite with their beloved Kyoong!

A multi-talented artist, Baekhyun is one of the busiest artists in K-Pop. Apart from EXO and its sub-units, he has also ventured in other acts such as joining the supergroup SuperM, debuting as an actor in Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo, and finding massive success as a soloist. In fact, Baekhyun is the first artist since 2001 to achieve a million sales for his EP Delight and he then went on to receive his second million-seller with Bambi. Baekhyun also achieved the most Best Male Artist trophies after winning three years in a row in Mnet Asian Music Awards (MAMA) history, a prestigious music awards show in South Korea.

2. Jeon Somi’s First Visit to the Philippines

Best known for her viral tracks DUMB DUMB and Birthday, hitmaker Jeon Somi will finally come to the Philippines! OVERPASS marks the soloist’s very first visit to the country and Filipino Sommungchis are in for a tret as their yearning to hear Somi live will finally come true.

Recently, her hit songs What You Waiting For, XOXO, and DUMB DUMB were featured in the new romcom Netflix series XO, Kitty which is currently one of the top streamed shows of the streaming giant.

3. B.I’s Endless Love and Appreciation for Filipino I.Ds

Kim Hanbin (stage name: B.I) is indeed in love with his Filipino I.Ds. In just a year, the rapper-producer has paid a visit to the Philippines twice — one for a fanmeeting last August 2022 and one for a solo concert last March 2023. OVERPASS will be the artist’s third solo visit in the Philippines.

The solo hip-hop act will be having his comeback this June 1 with the release of his second studio album To Die For. B.I has been performing the title track Dare to Love at various festivals prior to its official drop, and who knows, maybe the lucky audience of OVERPASS will be one of the first to hear the new tracks live!
