On January 15, 2023, Manila was treated to an Above Ordinary concert experience as Simon Dominic, Gray, Loco, Lee Hi, Yugyeom, and Woo brought their ‘Follow The Movement’ World Tour to town. Presented by Pulp Live World and Happee Hour, the night was filled with energy, dynamic performances, and unforgettable music.

Here’s a closer look during that night!

WOO 우원재

Woo, the third-place finisher in the sixth season of Show Me The Money, made an entrance that instantly lit up the New Frontier Theater stage. He made us dance and go wild with his catchy raps! “R.I.P.,” “Chik Chik Pok Pok,” “Pop It,” “Chingiz Khan,” and “Me” are a few of the songs he sang live. 

Woo mentioned during the show that his trip to Cebu, which took place months before his return to the Philippines, was the best trip of his life. However, he had a change of heart after performing in front of his Filipino fans. “Today is the best!,” Woo uttered.

Everyone in the venue can vouch for how well-loved Woo is. “Woo! Woo! Woo!” was being chanted by all every time there was a chance. In addition, Woo kept emphasizing that he didn’t want to go till the very end. However, it’s time to part ways and welcome the next performer. 

BONUS: Woo chuckles at the crowd (Watch until the end)

LEE HI 이하이

We weren’t let down when we learned who would be on the stage next! Everyone’s princess, the grandeur, sparkled in her attire—the one and only Lee Hi. She was received with a warm welcome and applause. 

Beginning with “Only,” “Breathe,” and “Savior,” she went on to sing “Rose,” “H.S.K.T,” “No One,” “1,2,3,4”, and “Red lipstick.” 

Lee Hi had everyone swaying to her R&B songs and her unexpectedly sensual yet powerful raps. Indeed, Lee Hi was truly exceptional and her presence alone was one in a million.

We had a wonderful time with her, and we will always remember her saying that the Filipino crowd that night was made up of their “real” fans.

LOCO 로꼬

Even before the show started, we could already sense the upbeat spirit from the artists. 

From the time Loco stepped onto the stage, he got the crowd hyped up by performing songs like “Party Band,” “Sweaty,” “MBTI,” “Too Much,” “Don’t,” “Like Water,” “Oppa,” “It Takes Time,” and many more. 

Midway through the show, Loco informed us that he had heard “Say Yes,” a song of his and an original soundtrack from the Korean drama “Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo”, was well-liked in the Philippines. He requested that the song be played in order to confirm this, and he was surprised by the overwhelming response of the audience. You must see how he reacted because it is so adorable below!

GRAY 그레이 

Gray, the charming rapper and producer, was the next to take the stage! 

He had a vibrant performance that grabbed our attention from beginning to end. He performed a number of songs, including “TMI,” “Moon Blue,” “Summer Night,” “Lose Control,” “Baby Don’t Cry,” “U,” and “Stay The Night.”

Gray was mesmerizing to watch as he seamlessly switched between singing and rapping. And much more so with his musical prowess using instruments. Unquestionably a genius artist!

YUGYEOM 유겸

Here comes Yugyeom! 

We immediately noticed the fans waving their Aghabongs (GOT7’s lightsticks) as soon as he entered the stage. This was something that Yugyeom quickly observed and brought up in his ment. 

Yugyeom had us charmed by his unique vocals and epic dancing skills. The songs he performed included “I Want U Around,” “Take You Down,” “Lights,” “All About U,” “Running Through The Rain,” “All Your Fault,” “Love The Way,” and his most recent single, “Ponytail.” 

We were definitely kept on the edge of our seats by Yugyeom’s performance!

SIMON DOMINIC 사이먼 도미닉

Everyone loves a grand finale, and that is exactly what Simon Dominic provided us as the four-hour concert was coming close to an end. In return, he received the most enthusiastic applause from the crowd. 

Simon Dominic started with “Da4x”, and his signature “Simon Dominic” song that got everyone singing and jumping. 

Additionally, he spoke a few Tagalog phrases like “Mahal Kita” and “Maganda Forever”, and interacted with the people in a fun and adorable way. He added that he was astounded by the Filipino crowd’s incredible reactions towards them. 

Simon Dominic gave us a whole array of fun filled performances, ensuring that the breathless audience were engaged throughout. He also sang the songs “Pose!,” “Room type,” “Wifey,” “Mommae,” and many others.

Woo, Lee Hi, Loco, Gray, Yugyeom, and Simon Dominic joined forces for a strong finale. It was an encore that made the crowd dance and sing along. It was so amazing to witness how much fun everyone was having and how happy everyone was.  

It’s not easy to put together a concert like this and be able to have a flawless flow till the encore, but boy did it succeed! The show went off without a hitch and the experience is undoubtedly incredible!
