And the fan party’s game segment felt like one was seeing the idols in a variety program in person.</p><p>One game had the members guessing more recent K-pop songs by listening to a one-second snippet, before making them dance to the correct answers, which included NCT Dream’s “Candy,” NewJeans’ “Hype Boy” and Le Sserafim’s “Eve, Psyche &amp; the Bluebeard’s Wife.”</p><p>At one point, Kyuhyun even wore a barong tagalog that he won as a prize, while Ryeowook and Yesung played with lightsabers, much to the amusement of the fans.</p><p>The event was not short on performances either, with the group kicking off the night with an explosive set consisting of “Super” and singles “Mr. Simple” and “Black Suit.”</p><p>The K-pop superstars also served rock versions of hits “Sorry Sorry” and “Bonamana,” and brought a more intimate atmosphere through slower tunes “My Wish,” “Callin’,” “More Days With You” and “Miracle.”</p><p>“I’m so happy that we’re seeing each other more often,” Yesung said towards the end of the show, which ran for over two hours.</p><p>“We had a great time with you all. The Philippines is always a great country, [with a] great city and great people,” Siwon added.</p><p>For more news and features on K-pop, K-drama, and K-stars, visit the <a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/kcontents">Hallyu Corner</a> microsite.</p><div><strong>FROM THE ARCHIVES</strong></div><figure class="op-interactive"><iframe allow="autoplay; fullscreen" frameBorder="0" height="100%" id="ivsplayer01" scrolling="no" src="https://player.ivideosmart.com/ivsplayer/v4/dist/html/iframe-src.html?iframeid=ivsplayer01&amp;key=e8c22c015ca9eafa76f1e3edfa03c603&amp;spid=3001339&amp;vid=1641004" width="100%"></iframe></figure><div class="iwantbar">Watch more News on <a href="https://www.iwanttfc.com/#!/browse/Genres/News/tag_id_genres/id_news" target="_blank">iWantTFC</a></div>
