Looking like a celestial vision and dressed in a dazzling gold gown with a striking feathered headdress, SNSD’s leader and K-pop powerhouse vocalist, Taeyeon, greeted her Filipino fans once again two years after her last visit. The moment she appeared, the crowd erupted in deafening cheers, mesmerized by her ethereal presence. The atmosphere was electric, setting the tone for an unforgettable night.
“Hi, nice to meet you all. Kamusta?” she warmly greeted the crowd after performing Fabulous. Returning to Manila after two years, she reminisced about the overwhelming cheers and love she received from her fans and quipped, “In my memory, this is one of the places with the best cheers”.
After her opening ment and a VCR, the soloist proceeded to perform Blue Eyes – An enchanting opening, drawing fans into her mesmerizing world, Make Me Love You – a performance filled with longing and passion, and Heaven – which truly felt like entering the gates of paradise as she sang.
The second VCR took fans on an emotional rollercoaster, transitioning from fiery passion to icy elegance. She sang Hot Mess, Cold as Hell, and the crowd favorite, INVU.
During My Tragedy, the guitar solo was nothing short of perfection, adding a dramatic edge to the show. While Melt Away showcased her unparalleled vocal agility and blending, comfortably switching from her chest voice to head voice and mixed. This was followed by To X and What Do I Call You.
Taeyeon shared a touching moment with fans: “Yesterday, when I was in my hotel room, it was so quiet. But now, because of your loud cheers, I didn’t know what to do”, seemingly overwhelmed by the loud cheers and undying energy of the crowd. She also couldn’t help but notice the unique and creative fan outfits in the audience. From LED costumes to an adorable egg costume, the Manila crowd was filled with charm and humor. “Big Taengoo! Huge Taengoo!” she laughed, clearly enjoying the enthusiasm of her fans. “There are a lot of cute fans here. I think we have something in common that makes us feel connected, right?” she added, further strengthening the bond with her Manila SONEs.
The night continued with a perfect mix of high-energy and emotional performances: Weekend, Stress, Why, Baram, Four Seasons, and Disaster, which was a powerful, haunting performance that left the audience breathless.
As the concert neared its end, Taeyeon delivered a final medley of songs, each leaving a lasting impression. Before leaving the stage, Taeyeon shared one last heartfelt message: “Really, Manila SONEs, your energy is amazing. This night felt like a dream.” And just like that, the curtains closed on a magical evening, leaving fans with memories that will last a lifetime. Taeyeon’s Manila concert was more than just a show—it was an experience, a connection, and a dream come true for all who attended.
