With silver lights and joyful applause, the Philippines welcomed our kababayan Park Chanyeol back to its shores!

Chanyeol of EXO returned home to perform for his Filipino EXO-L at the Araneta Coliseum in the Philippines on October 19 in the 2024 CHANYEOL LIVE TOUR: 都市風景 (City-scape) IN MANILA. As always, EXO-L packed the venue, illuminating it for EXO with cheers of pride and Eribong shining brightly.

From his first to the final bow, Chanyeol captivated the audience with a live band, showcasing his incredible guitar prowess, captivating ments and stories, and strong performances that reminded us why he will always be our Cherry Prince. With their fervent applause for their four-leaf clover, their brightest star, EXO-L elevated the experience as the concert flowed with so much excitement.

With “Back Again” and “Good Enough”, and their exquisitely diverse vibes, the singer-actor opened the event, showcasing multiple facets of himself as a performer. His stage presence was stunning as Chanyeol’s magnetism makes him a standout performer whether he’s performing with EXO or individually. He is not afraid to share and display his talents with the public. His generosity and willingness to share his talents are demonstrated by the four shows he has performed in the Philippines alone since 2023. And, each time, he introduced something fresh and displayed a better Park Chanyeol.

The opening was concluded with thunderous applause from EXO-L. Chanyeol formally welcomed everyone to the 2024 CHANYEOL LIVE TOUR: 都市風景 (City-scape) IN MANILA with the words, “What’s up, Manila!” He went on to say, “Long time no see! I’m Chanyeol. Good to see you again.” Indeed, it is always pleasant to see him return to the local performance scene with his fans giving him the most enthusiastic applause each time. Chanyeol said the full house that greeted him was “unbelievable,” but in all honesty, it was to be expected because there is no question that EXO and EXO-L can fill any venue for every member.

“Magandang gabi! It’s nice to meet you all. Kumusta? Na-miss ko kayo. Salamat po.”

After his powerful City-Scape opening, he sang a mashup of his famous OST with Punch from the Korean drama Goblin, “Stay With Me,” his OST for She’s My Type, “minimal warm,” and his single, “Yours,” featuring Raiden, Lee Hi, and Changmo. He went on to perform his SM Station Season 4 single, “Tomorrow”. The venue reverberated with lovely harmony as the fans sang along. Chanyeol remarked, “You guys are good singers,” During the singer-actor’s guitar solo, the audience sang “Sweet Child of Mine” in a truly Filipino moment. Chanyeol played “Hotel California” by Eagles and “Basket Case” by Green Day in addition to “Sweet Child of Mine.” The audience was equally thrilled by his band’s introductions, as we heard “Lupang Hinirang” played on the keyboard.

Chanyeol brought EXO-SC back to the Philippine concert stage with performances of “Telephone” and “Just Us 2” from the respective albums, 1 Billion Views and What A Life. With an adorable start, the singer-actor got everyone smiling and saying “Hasta La Vista”. This perfect weekend with him made us “Ease Up” so that it felt like it could last forever. He then rounded out the set with EXO-SC’s “Nothin'”. Collaborating with EXO-L during the dance, our four-leaf clover delivered “Clover” to the concert stage.

His exchanges and banter with fans, including teaching them the four-leaf clover moves, fervently showcasing his love for PENSHOPPE, and sharing stories about the pictures he shot during his “city-scape” to Manila, were too cute for words.

Our kababayan, Pogi Chanyeol, undoubtedly made us swoon with his performance of “Raining in Manila” by Lola Amour. His rendition of “Raining In Manila” was so amazing that we couldn’t stop listening to it. We are still reeling from the memorable cover performance when Chanyeol did an EXO medley and had us cheering with nostalgia and tears in our eyes.

The Big Dome saw performances of “Lotto,” “Tempo,” “Monster,” “Obsession,” and “Growl”. Then, on the Philippine stage, he made the debut of EXO’s pre-release single, “Hear Me Out,” from their seventh studio album, Exist.

After taking a little respite and returning with a guitar and a leather jacket, Chanyeol treated EXO-L to “Black Out” before delivering “SSFW”. The Cherry Prince, who is always the giving performer, performed an encore performance of “Raining In Manila”.

“I wanna say thank you so much to all of you for coming tonight. Because of you, every process from the preparation until this moment has been so much fun. Next time I come to the Philippines, I will prepare a new song,” he said and jokingly added, “No more Hawak Kamay.”

“Magkita tayo ulit! Mahal kita.”

Chanyeol

Chanyeol, EXO-L’s Forever Peter Pan, provided hope with his song “I’m On Your Side Too” with a promise to always be on our sides. He returned for the encore, serenading the Philippines with EXO’s “Just As Usual”. “Thank you for an encore. Maganda,” he remarked with a bow to the audience. He reassured his fans that he would look after himself and reminded them to do the same.

“If you guys call me back, I’ll fly anytime to be here. Any time… You guys are my only four-leaf clover. Today, I was really, really happy.”

Chanyeol

Chanyeol bid his beloved EXO-L a “see you again” with “We are One, EXO Saranghaja” and an encore performance of “Hasta La Vista”.
