LE SSERAFIM just wrapped their first-ever solo concert in Manila and the fans went wild. The five-member group — Yunjin, Chaewon, Kazuha, Sakura, and Eunchae — crushed every performance. Their live sing-and-dance was intense but flawless.
The show lasted three hours. It was packed with high-energy songs, fan interaction, and stunning production. This was their second time in the Philippines after the 2023 Asia Artist Awards.
The concert opened with “Ash,” flames and smoke filling the stage. Then they hit the extended stage with “HOT” and “Come Over.” After a quick costume change to all-white outfits, they performed “EASY,” firing up the crowd with lasers and sparkulars.
Their setlist was stacked: “Swan Song,” “Sour Grapes,” “Blue Flame,” “So Cynical,” “Impurities,” “Fire in the Belly,” “Smart,” “Eve, Psyche & The Bluebeard’s Wife,” “CRAZY,” and “1-800-hot-n-fun.” They closed the main show with fan favorites “FEARLESS,” “UNFORGIVEN,” and “ANTIFRAGILE.”
The group kept the vibe light with a staring contest and some Filipino tongue twisters that made fans laugh hard.
The encore was emotional, with “Crazier” and “FEARNOT (Between you, me and the lamppost).” They surprised Chaewon for her birthday with a heartfelt sing-along.
“This is the happiest birthday I’ve ever had,” Chaewon said, eyes tearing up.
The concert ended with “Perfect Night” and “No-Return (Into the unknown).” They promised a comeback.
Eunchae shared her feelings after the show:
“I had so much fun doing this solo concert here in Manila. Hearing the loudness of your voices, I was able to feel how much you’ve been waiting for us and cheering for us on stage. I also had a great feeling of sorrow. It’s been three years since our debut, and this is our first time coming to Manila. It’s been a long time. I think that kind of feeling I had for you changed into a positive one. I’m looking forward to the many days we’ll meet again. Whenever I perform, I always have in mind that I should be correct and I shouldn’t make mistakes. But for today’s concert, I definitely enjoyed the performances because of FEARNOTs. I hope that today will be an unforgettable memory for you, and we’ll definitely be back for you. Please stay healthy until then.”
Sakura added:
“Hearing our FEARNOTs’ voices today was so amazing. We only had a one-day show in Manila, and it’s such a shame. Although we couldn’t add a second day, I feel like we were able to fully enjoy the concert today. I’ve been an idol for a long time, and I still feel like I’m lacking in many areas. But I also think I’m very passionate. I’m working out a lot these days, doing my best to show our FEARNOTs a good side of myself and to build my stamina. If our FEARNOTs are enjoying the show up to this point, I can tell myself I did a great job. We will put in more and more effort for you, so please come see us again.”
Kazuha:
“Thank you so much for coming to our show today. I was quite surprised by your energy during soundcheck, and it only grew throughout the concert. I think the FEARNOTs here may actually be the best. This was our first solo concert in Manila, and we were welcomed by so many FEARNOTs at the airport. Seeing all of you waiting for us, I thought, ‘I should do my best for the show tomorrow.’ I was so amazed. We will definitely come back to Manila and do our best to return as soon as possible.”
Chaewon was emotional:
“I feel so sad that we only had a one-day show. Seeing how much you all enjoyed the concert made me wish it could have lasted longer. We will make sure to prepare more songs for you next time. Thank you so much for celebrating my birthday in such an impressive way. The song ‘FEARNOT,’ having our FEARNOTs here, and the banners—all of it combined made me cry. I feel like such a happy person. Thank you for giving me an unforgettable memory. You will wait for us to come back, right?”
Yunjin closed it out:
“You guys were insane tonight. While all the other members were giving their speeches, I was looking around, and there were barely any empty seats. I heard it was a sold-out show. The fact that we’re all here together in this space right now makes it a perfect night. I know there are a lot of FEARNOTs, but whether you’ve been a fan or were seeing us for the first time tonight, I hope you had a great time. We truly did, and we got so much energy from you. Honestly, this has been the best city so far. I think we’re going to have to come back. Thank you so much for giving us such a perfect night. I hope you guys take these memories with you and look back on them.”
