The game-themed arcade of NCT Wish Asia Tour: Log In made its third stop in Manila last April 12, 2025, at the New Frontier Theatre.

As the lights dimmed in the theatre, the show began. Sion, Sakuya, Ryo, Yushi, Jaehee, and Riku thrilled the NCTzens (or Czennies) with their performance of their debut song ‘Wish’, followed by ‘Steady’, ‘Sail Away’, ‘3 Minutes’, ‘Dunk Shot’, and more.

After performing ‘Hands Up’, they finally greeted their Czennies, who had been cheering and were excited to see them live in the country. Each member introduced themselves one by one:

“Hello! I’m Ryo. I’m happy to be here in Manila. Let’s have some fun tonight!” – Ryo
“Hello! I’m Riku. Did you guys miss us? Me too.” – Riku
“Hello! I’m Yushi. Thank you for visiting us. We hope you have the best night.” – Yushi
“Hello! I’m Sion. Yesterday, while traveling to Manila, the city was very hot. I hope all the Manila Czennies enjoy this night. Salamat po!” – Sion
“Hello, I think I’m in heaven. Let’s enjoy the night!” – Sakuya
“It’s our first time here in Manila. Let’s have some fun!” – Jaehee

One of the concert’s highlights was the NCTzen’s Wishlist segment, where NCT Wish granted fans’ wishes by performing iconic and hit songs. It became an unforgettable moment as they danced to Girls’ Generation’s ‘Kissing You’, Taeyong’s ‘Tap’, NCT’s ‘Smoothie’, and ‘Daleng-dale’, a Filipino hit song by MMJ. They also gave spoilers for their upcoming song ‘POPPOP,’ which will be released on April 14, 2025.

The preparation for each stage was clearly visible—from their costumes, VCRs, lighting, and concept; everything was incredibly executed. Fans also prepared a star- shaped banner that read, “With Wish, we can love any day.” Jaehee shared that it was his favorite line and thanked the Filo-Czennies for making such a beautiful banner.

The night was about to end, NCT Wish performed their final songs, ‘Tears Are Falling’ and ‘Make Shine’.

During their ment, Sakuya also mentioned that it was their first time visiting the country and they were really nervous but the loud cheers of the Filo-Czennies gave them energy and confidence throughout the show. As for the Leader Sion, he promise to work hard to improve and make up for their shortcomings. He added “Manila is the best gift!” The members then bid their goodbyes, thanking the fans for an incredible night and promising to return to Manila in the future.

A huge thanks to iME Philippines for making this event possible!
