A special memory with the ONE and only Han Seung Woo

Han Seung Woo lit up the SM Skydome on August 19 as he held the final show of his Special Live ONE Asia Tour. The 28-year-old K-pop idol debuted as a soloist in 2020 and has released three EPs since, namely Fame, Fade, and Frame. Prior to that, he was well known as the leader of the groups Victon and X1.

Since 2018, he has become famous for being an all-rounder. Han Seung Woo is an idol who can sing, rap, and dance, all of which makes for his charismatic presence onstage. True enough, his show in Manila was a testament to that.

Brimming with energy and enthusiasm, he made sure Filipino HAN_As had a wonderful time during his show. His tour was supposed to end in Singapore last week, but due to his fans’ request, the Philippines became his final stop.

His setlist had a lot of songs from his latest EP Frame. He performed “Dive Into”, “Flutter”, “Runnin’ High”, “Lovelorn” and “Burn”. From Fame, he performed “Sacrifice”, “Child”, “Reply” and “I Just Want Love”

Seung Woo is also somewhat of a spontaneous soul. During the keyword segment of his show, he went off-script and told the crowd that he had been explaining the same keyword all throughout his Asia Tour. Instead, he said that what matters is that he gets to create special memories with his fans especially since it was the last show in the tour. He hyped up the crowd by singing and dancing impeccably. During some songs, he even asked everyone to stand up and party with him.

“I love you. I value you. I cherish you.”

Filipino HAN_A also did their part and made a lot of fan projects for Han Seung Woo. For each seat, they prepared a concert kit with a banner saying “HAN_A will always be on Seungwoo’s side” in Korean, a purple scrunchie, purple petals, and a purple sticker for phone lights. (FYI, purple is their official fandom color.) All these items were meant to be used at specific moments during the concert.

“There was a time when you were ALICE and ONE IT. Right now, you are HAN_A. Being able to meet you now as HAN_As is very meaningful, I will work harder to give you more energy, to live continuously and longer together,” he said as he thanked the crowd, acknowledging that many of them have been there for him since his time as a member of Victon and X1.

“Kita po tayo ulit,” he said with a smile on his face. For his last song, he performed the sweet “We Loved Each Other”. As a bonus, all attendees were treated to a hi-touch session before leaving the venue.
