It’s my first time going to different cities and countries by myself. Of course, it was all possible because you gave a lot of support to my album,” he told fans through an interpreter.</p><p>“I’m very happy because this kind of tour is something that I&#x27;ve always dreamed of,” he said.</p><p>The concert was a stark departure from Super Junior’s Super Show, devoid of danceable tunes and bombastic productions, highlighting Yesung’s soothing and soulful singing as he delivered his mostly mellow solo tracks.</p><ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/12/19/22/super-junior-gives-christmas-present-to-pinoy-fans">Super Junior fulfills promise, gives Christmas ‘present’ to Pinoy fans</a></li>	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/07/23/23/super-junior-shows-different-charms-in-manila-fan-party">K-pop group Super Junior shows ‘different charms’ in Manila fan party</a></li></ul><p>Most of the songs on the setlist were pulled from the singer’s 2023 releases, including his album “Sensory Flows,” its special version “Floral Sense,” and his fifth extended play (EP) “Unfading Sense.”</p><p>A calm and relaxing atmosphere filled the venue as soon as Yesung opened the show with the slow-paced single “Scented Things.”</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">WATCH: Super Junior’s Yesung (<a href="https://twitter.com/shfly3424?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@shfly3424</a>) opens <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/UnfadingSenseInManila?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#UnfadingSenseInManila</a> with “Scented Things.” <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/YESUNGinMANILA?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#YESUNGinMANILA</a> | via <a href="https://twitter.com/jaehwabernardo?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@jaehwabernardo</a> <a href="https://t.co/ETczmxgjkQ">pic.twitter.com/ETczmxgjkQ</a></p>— ABS-CBN News (@ABSCBNNews) <a href="https://twitter.com/ABSCBNNews/status/1743607963863117976?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 6, 2024</a></blockquote><div><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charSet="utf-8" type="text/javascript"></script></div><p>The Super Junior vocalist also impressed the crowd with his ad libs in songs like “Beautiful” and “Like Us,” and had them singing along during “It Has To Be You,” which he recorded for the 2010 K-drama “Cinderella’s Sister.”</p><p>He also performed “Corazón Perdido (Lost Heart),” later admitting that he wished he had picked the B-side track from his 2021 EP “Beautiful Night” as a lead single.</p><p>Apart from the performances, Yesung also showed his refreshingly candid personality.
