KOREAN boy group TOMORROW X TOGETHER (TXT) has successfully staged the conclusion of its second world tour “ACT: SWEET MIRAGE” at the Philippine Arena in Bulacan last weekend.
Presented by Live Nation Philippines, it was TXT’s second concert in the Philippines after ACT:BOY in October 2022.
The group, composed of Soobin, Yeonjun, Beomgyu, Taehyun, and Huening Kai, wowed their fans with electrifying performances. They opened with “Blue Hour,” followed by “Can We Just Leave the Monster Alive?,” “Drama,” and “No Rules.”
“Na-miss namin kayo,” said Beomgyu.
“Thank you for making our dream into reality,” said Soobin, the group’s leader.
Yeonjun expressed his admiration for the enthusiasm of their supporters. “That was super powerful,” he commented following the group’s rendition of “Cat & Dog.” In addition, Yeonjun introduced the audience to the “Happy Fools” dance challenge, encouraging them to showcase their finest “Ang Cute” smiles.
The TXT lineup for the event ecompassed their notable hits such as “Run Away,” “Anti-Romantic,” “0X1=LOVESONG,” “LO$ER=LOVER,” “Magic,” and their latest track, “Sugar Rush Ride.” A special highlight was the debut performance of “Do It Like That,” their collaborative single with the Jonas Brothers, on the concert stage.
“We specifically prepared this for the concert,” Huening Kai explained.
The TXT members also took the opportunity to share their thoughts during the show. Despite the massive venue, their heartfelt words fostered an even deeper connection with the audience.
Soobin conveyed, “We will do our best to come more often. So please stay by our side, please don’t forget the memories we made here together.”
Reflecting on his past experiences, Beomgyu remarked, “I visited the philippines a lot for travel when I was young. It’s unbelievable to see that the people here are cheering for me now.”
The crowd pleasantly surprised Huening Kai with a birthday serenade, and he received warm wishes from his fellow members. “It’s my wish to celebrate my birthday on the same day as a concert. Thank you so much for your precious gift,” expressed the group’s youngest member.
Just as fans believed the evening couldn’t become any more extraordinary, TXT delighted them with an unexpected rendition of “MOA Diary (Dubaddu Wari Wari)” as part of their encore setlist.
Throughout the concert, numerous fan projects unfolded, yet one that left a lasting impression was the “Blue Rose” initiative. As the group performed “Blue Spring,” a song conceived with “MOA in mind,” the audience raised shimmering blue flowers, creating a truly mesmerizing spectacle.
Taehyun, who later revealed during the concert that he wasn’t feeling well, said that he is already excited about their next concert in the country.
“I have a little bit of a bad condition today. Next time when we meet each other again I’ll try to reap the performances to repay you guys as forgiveness. I was really really happy because of you guys and I’m already looking forward to the next concert in the Philippines.”
The group promised that they will return to the Philippines with better performances and new music.
