It’s a good day well-spent with the Good Boy!

For the first time, with full-house Mall of Asia Arena, Kim Seon Ho greeted his Philippine Seonhohadas in the 2023 KIM SEON HO ASIA TOUR <ONE, TWO, THREE. SMILE> in Manila last January 22.

The Start-Up and Hometown Cha Cha Cha actor opened the highly awaited fan meet with Paul Kim’s “Every Day, Every Moment,” which reaffirmed that it is his time to stand by the side of his admirers, who had waited to meet him for years. He conveyed his comfort in being with everyone and his gratitude for the audience’s persistent support.

“I feel how warm you are and I feel very comfortable being with all of you. I can feel your warm passion even now, that is why, I made a promise to myself that I would be very passionate tonight –spending this night with all of you,” he said. He added, “I feel that you really love me right now. There is one thing I want to say to all of you: thank you so much for always being with me during the hard times and the good times. You are always there supporting me.”

As Kim Seon Ho reciprocated the support by working tirelessly to provide the fans with the best fan meeting experience, Seonhohadas showered the man of the hour with resounding cheers and heartfelt comments.

Special Moments with Kim Seon Ho: Fun Games and Getting-to-Know

Always game and ready to give his all, Kim Seon Ho allowed his fans to get to know him more and play games with him through the different segments he sincerely prepared for his supporters. He reenacted scenes from his dramas Hometown Cha Cha Cha, Start-Up, and Catch the Ghost with fans in the segment “Seon Ho’s Drama Talk”. Impressed by the acting skills of the lucky fans who joined him on stage, he shared that he felt nervous because they are better actors than him.

Meanwhile, the segment “Seon Ho Learning Tagalog” saw the actor learn the Filipino phrases, “Manigong bagong taon“, “Masaya akong makita kayo“, and “Pusuan/pinusuan kita“. In the segment, “Best No. 1 is (Filipino food edition)”, it was time for the fans to know him more through his choices among the Filipino foods presented on screen. His favorite Filipino food went to pancit because it reminded him of japchae, while bibingka took the crown as his favorite Filipino dessert.

“Actually, I don’t speak Tagalog, but I was looking forward to talking to all of my fans, and I love foods, so that’s why I am looking forward to all these Filipino foods,” he said.

But the fun never stopped because Kim Seon Ho made sure that fans will take home the best memories of the night through games. Chosen fans played the “staring game” and “one-legged balance” with him. Ever-considerate and sweet, the actor requested that all participating fans will get a prize despite failing the challenge. *heart eyes*

The next segment, “Team Game with Seon Ho”, tested his stamina with a relay game composed of catching a ball, jumping rope, and sipa which he did with the fans. Despite the energy-consuming game, the actor never wavered in keeping his smile and assuring fans. He was too adorable as he tried to catch his breath in between the teams. And the challenges continue in the segment, “Seon Ho Will Do It”, where he took on various challenge games such as balancing a soda can, shooting a basketball, and sipa. He awed everyone with his quick success in the first challenge. However, he failed to make a basket in the second one and do five sipa in the third one, earning him penalties — penalties that every fan loves: posing for photos, recording a morning call, and posing three aegyo poses.

Truly the good boy, Kim Seon Ho prepared a special gift for a lucky fan to have —a customized cap! He personally drew different images with much care and love and signed the cap.

Before bidding goodbye to his Philippine Seonhohadas, the actor serenaded them with “Reason“, his first single and a song he collaborated with Epitone Project in 2021. “I wanted to communicate and be with my fans more. If there is something lacking, I hope you understand. I will forever treasure our special day in my heart, and I hope, as you go home today, this was a great memory you can bring back home,” he said.

Bawat araw, bawat sandali with Kim Seon Ho

And the special memories continued to be created, as Philippine Seonhohadas make sure that their beloved actor returns home with a warm and happy heart through a special video and banner project they prepared.

Kasama mo kami sa bawat araw, bawat sandali.

PHILIPPINE SEONHOHADAs

He reciprocated the love with appreciation and a promise to see each other again. “Because of you, I can stand as an actor. I will always be grateful, and I love you! And I promise you that I’ll be back with more projects in the future as a better actor. I hope you are happy. Thank you!”

Turning emotional after watching the fan project, Kim Seon Ho said, “There were a lot of touching messages in the video, but I like that you promised me that even in the hard times, you will be there for me. I also promise to be a good actor and person and to be here all the time for you. Thank you, and I love you all!”

With smiles on everyone’s faces all throughout the night, January 22 was indeed a memory to treasure dearly in our hearts. The 2023 KIM SEON HO ASIA TOUR <ONE, TWO, THREE. SMILE> in Manila was a testament to a promise kept by Kim Seon Ho and Philippine Seonhohadas— through thick and thin, through the strongest storms and the brightest of days, bawat araw, bawat sandali — “We will always prefer you.”
