MANILA ― K-pop boy bands FT Island and Super Junior will hold concerts in the Philippines in March and April.
First is FT Island’s Manila 2010 Showcase, which will be held on March 6 at the Philippine International Convention Center, according to concert organizer Spin Manila.
Fifty fans will be able to meet the band members on the same day.
This will be FT Island’s second visit to the Philippines. Last September, the boy band went to Cebu province in the southern Philippines to shoot the music video for their Japanese single, “Raining.”
FT Island is composed of Lee Hong-ki, Choi Jong-hoon, Lee Jae-jin, Song Seung-hyun and Choi Min-hwan.
On April 10, idol group Super Junior will hold The 2nd Asia Tour: Super Show 2 concert at the Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City.
The boy band’s Super Show 2 is an Asia-wide concert tour that kicked off last year in Seoul. Before going to Manila, Super Junior will hold concerts in Beijing, Taipei and Kuala Lumpur. Dream Maker Entercom is partnering with SM Entertainment to promote the tour.
This is the first time that Super Junior will visit and hold a concert in the Philippines and fans are excited that they will finally see the idol group members.
“I can’t wait to see them,” one fan wrote on a Super Junior fan club forum in the Philippines.
PULP Live Productions, the concert organizer, told The Korea Times that fans can expect a spectacular show from Super Junior.
Even though they’ve never visited the Philippines, Super Junior commands a huge following in the Southeast Asian country.
Super Junior’s third album, “Sorry, Sorry,” was the top selling K-pop album in 2009 in the country and the only K-pop album to enter the Top 25 Bestselling Albums of 2009 based on sales from Music One stores in the Philippines.
The album also reached gold record status three months after it was released in the Philippines.
