The Philippine concert debut of TOMORROW X TOGETHER has sparked a lot of excitement as it marked the first concert of the fourth-generation leaders since they debuted more than three years ago.

TOMORROW X TOGETHER brought their first world tour to a close in Manila on October 27 and 28 at the Mall of Asia Arena with thousands of MOAs attending the back-to-back shows on both days. The tour was called ACT: LOVESICK.

The boys exactly appeared on stage at 7:30 p.m. and launched the show with their 2021 hit single “0X1=LOVESONG (I Know I Love You)” without wasting any time. Taehyun, Beomgyu, and HueningKai sang Itchyworms’ famous ballad “Akin Ka Na Lang” in tribute to their Filipino MOAs.

Both performances lasted three hours and featured nearly 30 songs in their extensive setlists, with the goal of making every memory with their beloved MOAs count. The difference between seeing them in person and on a screen is enormous. The aura that TXT and MOAs members convey with their presence cannot be captured by a camera.

They have expanded significantly since their debut. As performers, they are more fluid and vocally phenomenal, with the maturity and ease that come with experience. They are more active in the creative development of their songs as artists –The repertoire for this tour is composed of songs co-written and produced by the group members from before their debut to the present day.

And as idols, they are more secure in their own skin and have greater freedom of expression. ACT : LOVESICK illustrates this intricate journey through a succession of high-budget theatrical vignettes and symbolic stage settings. A garden blossoms into a peaceful woodland, illuminating their “Magic Island” where they may retreat together. Insecurity and anxiety, however, lit their dream fire and threw their world into disarray.

Over the course of the night, they showed how good they were at both big-sounding pop and nuanced ballads. The loudest roar of the night came when the familiar opening keyboard stab of their bubbly debut single “Crown” was played perfectly. “Magic” and “Blue Hour” were dazzling and full of energy. “Trust Fund Baby” and “Anti-Romantic” showed off their ballads, especially Taehyun’s, who put as much emotion and energy into singing as he did into dancing.

On the flip side, darkness fell during “Maze in the Mirror,” “Eternally,” and “Can’t You See Me”—a moody trio about being alone. In a similar way, Yeonjun owned “Frost” and “New Rules” with an impressive spotlight dance solo and sinister facial expressions.

Before making an offer of their final farewell, the members promised to return soon with a larger venue. They ended their last show for ACT: LOVESICK tour with a surprise performance of “Our Summer,” dedicated to their fans, and then took a bow amid the loud cheers and applause of their fans who are holding on to the promise of Yeonjun, Soobin, Beomgyu, Taehyun, and HueningKai for another meeting with their Philippine MOAs.
