With his debut solo concert tour, The Other Side, Mark Tuan makes a remarkable comeback to the Philippine concert scene after nearly five years.

The first solo performance of Mark Tuan in the Philippines, which showcased his other side to his fans who came to celebrate his comeback to the local concert scene, brought the GOT7 tingi era to a perfect finish last January 14 at the SM Skydome.

The MARK TUAN “THE OTHER SIDE” ASIA TOUR IN MANILA, featuring a set list of more than 20 songs, was a once-in-a-million experience that highlighted his artistic ability and artistry. With songs from his debut studio album, the other side, he kicked off the event with “after hours (interlude)”, “save me”, “change up”, “exhausted”, and “at my low”. After that, he welcomed his Filipino Ahgase and thanked them for joining him on his maiden tour. “It means a lot to have you on my first tour,” he stated.

Mark Tuan is the final member of GOT7 to visit the Philippines in what fans have dubbed the “GOT7 tingi,” alluding to the members’ solo trips to the country following their Keep Spinning concert in 2019. In 2022, Youngjae, BamBam, Jackson, Yugyeom, and Jay B made their individual comebacks to their Philippine Ahgases. In 2023, Jinyoung followed suit by holding his own solo fan meetup. BamBam and Yugyeom also made a comeback to see Ahgases live. And at last, Mark returned to our side in 2024 and finished the checklist in time for GOT7’s tenth anniversary on January 16.

The singer said that he was aware of the members’ visits and had been told that he was the last to appear to finish the set. “I’m sorry it took a while,” he said. It was absolutely worth the wait, nevertheless, as the artist did not hold back in providing the audience with an unforgettable evening.

Afterward, Mark Tuan performed more songs from the other side album, including “let u go“, “far away”, “last breath”, “my life”, “broken”, “selfish”, “hard 2 love”, “more”, “2 faces”, “lonely”, “my name”, and “imysm”. He was accompanied in “2 faces” by wesdaboy, who also worked the crowd up before the show began by performing tracks from his own album, down bad but upright. Additionally, Mark performed many tracks from his most recent album, Fallin’, including “Your World,” “Fallin’,” “Everyone Else Fades,” “Night Still Young,” and “Carry Me Out.” Ahgases also saw him play “One In A Million,” a song he performed with Sanjoy, and “Never Gonna Come Down,” a song he recorded with BIBI for the Shang-Chi and The Legend of the Ten Rings.

Mark Tuan received great memories, including several fan projects, from Ahgases, who gave him a lot of love. Via a video presentation, the fans relived different GOT7 memories and expressed gratitude to Mark for coming back and to the members for continuing GOT7.

“Thank you for coming back to us—your home. From being the hyung of six boys, you embarked on your own journey and found your colors. And we want to say that you shine in it—even more radiant than ever. You shared a piece of who you are through your songs, and those songs really resonate with us. It is as if you also know what we are going through. Even though you were on the other side of the world, you did not leave us alone. You wish that you could be better for us. You wish you could’ve done more, but we want you to know that you are more than enough. This is your destiny—to be the artist that inspires and shines brightly, especially on stage. Keep up what you are doing. We’ll always be here to support and be proud of you. We’ll be your Ahgases, while you’ll be our one in a million, until our last breath. Every Filo Ahgase has been waiting for you! We missed you so much. Maybe you also heard our voice from far away. From the other side, you’re now here, right before our eyes. So, in this moment, from the front to the back, we’ll scream out loud.”

TO MARK, FROM AHGASES

Mark assured the supporters that he would always be around and thanked them for their kind words and special projects. “I’m here now. I’m here with you, guys. I want you guys to know that I’m gonna be here for you guys. And also, the rest of the six boys are going to be here for you guys too. As long as you guys know that we’re still GOT7,” he said. With grateful bows, he bid farewell to the crowd that had cheered loudly for Mark and his team.
