Held at the SMX Convention Center in Manila, the concert marked iKON’s first group show in the country two years after their “LIMITED TOUR – GET BACK” concert in April 2024.
Members JAY, SONG, BOBBY and CHAN reunited with fans through a high-energy show that highlighted the group’s signature performance style.
Wearing red outfits, iKON immediately set the mood with their opening song “Ah Yeah”, followed by energetic phases of “Tantara”, “BLING BLING” and “SINOSIJAK”. The crowd responded with equal enthusiasm, filling the venue with cheers and red lights all night long.
According to GMA, the group also performed some of their biggest hits, including “LOVE SCENARIO,” “KILLING ME” and “RHYTHM TA.” Fans sang along to songs that have remained special throughout iKON’s career, showing the strong bond between the group and their Filipino supporters.
During the concert, the members expressed their gratitude for the warm welcome they received from fans in Manila.
“I think whether it’s a song old or new, the support Filipino fans show us is amazing,” the members shared. “Our venue today is very large. We are very grateful to you for filling this venue. We are truly touched.”
