The weekend was fun and badster for SONEs in the Philippines as they get treated the best weekend party in the Metro last February 8 at the House Manila, where Girls’ Generation’s Hyoyeon fired up the stage as DJ Hyo in her exclusive DJ set.

The “Badster” artist put a thrilling spin to her hits and classic songs of her group, putting attendees in the hype and utmost energy. Opening the show for her are DJ Angelo G., singer-songwriter Lox, and DJ Nix Damn P. — three artists who kept the energy high and the crowd in the mood with their stages.

And because we know you can’t get enough of that fun and nostalgic party at the House Manila, here are some highlights (and photos) from DJ Hyo’s exclusive DJ set.

Welcoming Hyoyeon Back In Manila

Five years in the making, Hyoyeon finally comes back to Manila to meet her fans and party the night away as the main DJ for the night. Her group, Girls’ Generation, last visited the Philippines back in 2015 as part of the line up for Best of Best in the Philippines, together with BtoB, Red Velvet, and Super Junior. DJ Hyo also made her debut in the Philippine stage in 2019 in Cebu.

This year, it was Manila’s time to bask in the awesomeness of the talented performer as she makes her appearance as DJ Hyo at the House Manila last February 8. She got everyone up their feet with her songs “Sober”, “Punk Right Now”, and “Badster”.

Feeling The Nostalgia With Girls’ Generation Hits

SONEs at the venue were perhaps feeling all sorts of emotions when DJ Hyo played Girls’ Generation’s greatest hits such as “Gee” and “The Boys”. People at the venue were grooving to the beat of the remix and singing along to the songs, bringing, not only fun but nostalgia. SONEs also turned House Manila into a concert venue by lighting up the scene with their lightsticks.

Partying The Night Away With DJ Hyo And SONEs

We really felt the yearning of fans to see their favorite girl back in the Philippines. Although coming alone, SONEs did not hold back in making sure Hyoyeon feel all the love and support and has the best night. The party was also intimate, giving room for DJ Hyo to interact and meet her fans up close.

DJ Hyo’s exclusive DJ set at the House Manila was a testament of the immense talents of Hyoyeon whom we first loved as Girls’ Generation’s dancing machine. More than a decade into her career, Hyoyeon continues to transform and tap on her capabilities, treating fans to new sides of herself every time. Still, we also witnessed how rooted she is on her roots and how she never forgets the group she came from.
