The week was bearable because the ending is with Yugyeom!

GOT7’s Yugyeom made his solo debut on the Philippine concert stage last August 19 at the New Frontier Theater. Presented by PULP Live World, YUGYEOM LIVE IN MANILA served as the first solo concert of the singer-songwriter in Asia.

And it was indeed the debut on the Philippine concert stage and the best capped off the week with Yugyeom and Ahgases teaming up to stage the coolest and most fun Friday party.

DJ Wegun kicked off the night’s happening with a hyped-up DJ set of various songs including GOT7’s best hits. The crowd danced to the beat and jumped along with every song that came on. The energy was truly resonating at the New Frontier Theater that when Yugyeom came on stage, the cheers reached the roof and the energy seemed boundless.

Yugyeom fronted his set with “I Want U Around”, the first track from his first extended play Point of View: U which featured DeVita. And there was no slowing down as the singer-songwriter immediately followed it up with tracks from Point of View: U namely “Running Through the Rain”, “When You Fall”, and “Falling in Love”.

In his introduction ment and amid the “Kim Yugyeom” cheers, the GOT7 member greeted Ahgases with “Mabuhay, Philippines” and his brightest smile — much to the delight of the crowd who have been waiting for his return. He expressed his happiness on seeing a lot of Ahgases.

Truly, it was hard not to fall deeper in love with the GOT7 member who made sure that Ahgases who came to see him that Friday night got to experience the best party as he delivers the smoothest vocals in every performance.

That night was definitely all about Yugyeom. Coming back to the Philippine concert stage after almost three years and after signing with AOMG, the singer-songwriter has definitely grown as an artist and as a performer. And that growth was more evident as, for the first time, he stood on the Philippine concert stage as a solo artist.

He turned the excitement a step higher with “Take You Down”, “Lights”, and “All Your Fault”, before being the cutest tease during the remixed version of Jay Park’s “Mommae” and “All I Wanna Do”. With the smoothest groove and sexiest moves, Yugyeom reminded everyone that he is one of K-Pop’s best dancers.

He was mesmerizing and undeniably captivating as he takes over the stage with effortless charm and talent. He was the best entertainer, turning the venue into a big party where everyone felt free to move to the music, scream loud, and enjoy every bit of the moment. Always ready to perform and always sure to give the best show, Yugyeom continued to captivate with “Always Ready” and “Love the Way”.

But a GOT7 member concert will never be complete without reminding everyone of their roots. The maknae of GOT7 hard carried in his performance of “Hard Carry”. Screams grew louder as the singer-songwriter went around the standing section to interact with fans. He went on to perform “Two” before closing his set with a performance of “1+1”.

Before ending the show, Yugyeom promised to return to the Philippines and sweetly declared his unending support for Ahgases. “I will continue rooting for Philippine Ahgases,” he said. And that love was reciprocated with Philippine Ahgases’ promise that “Ahgase will always hold your hand”.

YUGYEOM LIVE IN MANILA ended with every fan leaving with spirited smiles — happy to see Yugyeom and spend Friday night cheering loud, dancing and singing along, and getting hyped with their fellow Ahgases. Lucky fans got to personally say their “see you again” to the GOT7 member through the goodbye session. In addition, prior to the start of the show, some took part in a meet-and-greet event with Yugyeom.

What a party! #YUGYEOMLIVEINMANILA gave Ahgases the best ending to their week 💚
