At the same time last month, Shooting Star in Manila took place at the World Trade Center, where we met four stunning F4 Thailand stars – Bright, Win, Dew, and Nani! Do you long for them? We do, too, so here’s a rundown of what happened on November 19, 2022 for Shooting Star in Manila attendees!
Our team arrived later than expected because it was a rainy Saturday and we were stuck in traffic. But the situation clearly didn’t bother the fans, as we saw a seemingly endless line of people patiently waiting their turn to enter the venue.
Inside the World Trade Center, we discovered beautiful photo op and official merchandise booths. We wandered around for a while before deciding to enter the concert hall, where we saw the beautiful stage setup.

The solo stages came next!
Nani’s ‘Best Life,’ with its upbeat sound, is an excellent solo stage opener. We all went with the flow while singing along to ‘Living in the best life~โ.

Finally, Bright performed ‘With A Smile,’ originally performed by the legendary OPM (Original Pinoy Music) band Eraserheads. It’s incredible how he rememorized the lyrics to sing it live for Filipino fans only.

It’s been a month, but the memory is as fresh as yesterday. We can’t wait for them to return, whether for group or solo activities. We will undoubtedly support Bright, Win, Dew, and Nani!
Special thanks to Rise Media Philippines for allowing us to be a part of this event!
