A warm welcome echoed from Manila Kissys as the South Korean girl group Kiss of Life arrived in the Philippines for their first-ever concert, Kiss Road, held at the UP Theater on April 4, 2024.
Julie, Natty, Belle, and Haneul were amazed by how loud and passionate their Filipino fans were. The Kiss Road concept—symbolizing how a car needs love and cheers to start—was a creative way to connect with fans and mark the beginning of their journey together. Expectations were high, but the group gave their all and didn’t disappoint.
As the show began, each member performed a solo stage, showcasing their individual talents. Fans were thrilled, especially as the group moved around the venue to interact with everyone. It was a heartfelt and energetic performance that made the experience truly unforgettable.
They performed several top-charting and fan-favorite songs, including “Igloo,” “Sticky,” “Midas Touch,” and many more. Seeing them up close felt surreal, and their 100% energy on stage made the concert a must-watch event.
A memorable moment was when the members tried speaking Filipino, imitating local words and phrases in an adorable way that drew laughter and love from the audience.
Manila Kissys also prepared a surprise fan video for the group, which brought the members to tears. Fans sang “Bye My Neverland” and held up banners that read:
“Even if Kissys take different roads, our Foreverland will always be Kiss of Life.”
It was a beautiful and emotional ending to an unforgettable night. We are truly grateful to have witnessed the beginning of Kiss of Life’s journey with their Filipino fans, and we can’t wait to see what the future holds for them—and for all Kissys around the world.
