MANILA -- Korean actress and singer IU arrived in the country on Thursday ahead of her “H.E.R.E.H World Tour” happening at the Philippine Arena tomorrow.

Filipino fans welcomed the Korean superstar at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) terminal 1.

As a present for Uaenas who waited patiently, IU gave them some snacks from Korea and even rode a van to greet them up-close.

But the supposed fun and safe welcoming night for IU became chaotic when some fans rushed towards the van, knocked on the windows and attempted to block the vehicle's way.

Her fandom turned to social media to express disappointment with some individuals who went overboard at the airport and apologized to IU. They also advised other fans to prioritize the safety of the Korean and collectively discipline each other especially on concert day.

IU will be performing in Bulacan this Saturday, 6:30 p.m -- marking her return in Manila after almost five years since her "Love, Poem" concert in the country last December 2019.

For fans who would like to get some of IU's official merchandise, PULP Live World prepared an IU pop-up store which can be located at the Mega Tent Parking A of the concert venue.
