Manila is gearing up for a sensational K-pop experience as ITZY announces their return to the city for an electrifying concert. The globally acclaimed girl group is slated to perform at the SM Mall of Asia Arena on August 3, making it a red-letter day for K-pop enthusiasts in the Philippines.
The Manila concert is a part of ITZY’s extensive ‘Born to Be’ world tour, which commences in February with two shows in Seoul, South Korea. The tour itinerary includes performances across the US, Europe, and Asia, showcasing ITZY’s global appeal and the international wave of K-pop.
ITZY’s connection with the Filipino audience is well-established, with the group having performed in Manila in January 2023 as part of their ‘Checkmate’ world tour. They further strengthened this bond by returning in April for a fan meeting, underlining the Philippines as a special stop in their global engagements. The group’s dynamic presence was also felt at the 2023 Asia Artist Awards held at the Philippine Arena, where Yeji, Lia, Ryujin, Chaeryeong, and Yuna graced the stage as both awardees and performers.
The announcement comes shortly after the release of ITZY’s much-anticipated comeback album, “Born to Be,” which debuted on January 8. With chart-topping hits like “WANNABE,” “LOCO,” and “Not Shy,” ITZY continues to dominate the music scene, captivating fans with their unique style and powerful performances.
As ITZY prepares to embark on their ‘Born to Be’ world tour, excitement is in the air, with fans eagerly anticipating the group’s return to Manila. The concert promises to be a showcase of ITZY’s musical prowess, high-energy choreography, and the indomitable spirit that has catapulted them to the forefront of the K-pop industry.
