Mounting a concert tour requires months of preparation while being a K-pop idol demands years of rigorous training. Yet nothing felt overly rehearsed or formulaic about KIM CHAEWON, SAKURA, HUH YUNJIN, KAZUHA and HONG EUNCHAE when they took the stage of the Mall of Asia Arena for their sold-out show.</p><p>There were hardly any dull moments or awkward pauses during the three-hour concert, not even during the “ments” or the segments where the girls spoke to the audience between performances. </p><p>At one point, they tried their hand at Filipino tongue twisters. KAZUHA notably nailed “nakakapagpabagabag,” while the group gamely took on the mouthful “Kalabit ng kalabit si Alabit na may bitbit sa balikat ng kanyang kalapit-kabalikat kapitbahay.” They even challenged some audience members on the floor to try the tongue twisters themselves.</p><p>While preparing the crowd for “Fire in the belly,” the group led a vocal exercise, crouching down with their hands together, then rising with arms raised to cue the audience to get louder. Seemingly amused by the crowd’s enthusiasm, they began playfully moving up and down, causing the fans’ voices to rise and fall in sync.</p><p>In one segment, the group engaged the crowd in a “staring contest,” with each member locking eyes with a fan. Whoever blinked first lost. </p><p>Near the end of the show, the members announced the concert was ending and pretended to cry, urging the audience to play along, as if everyone didn’t already expect an encore, as is typical in K-pop concerts.</p><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/17542908295756.LSF_1.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><strong>Showcase of stamina</strong></div><p>Beyond the lighthearted moments, the girls made performing a 28-song setlist seem effortless, turning the concert into a showcase of their impressive stamina.</p><p>While many of their performances required choreography marked by precision and ever-shifting formations, they still left room for moments of spontaneity. One moment, they were executing dynamic routines; the next, they were spread out across the stage, hyping up or simply interacting with the crowd. What made it all the more enjoyable was seeing the members genuinely enjoying themselves onstage.</p><p>Crazy — in the best possible way — were the performances. LE SSERAFIM delivered all of their Korean singles to date, along with a selection of fan-favorite B-sides. Their songs are undeniable earworms, often anchored by infectious choruses and hooks.</p><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/music/2025/3/14/k-pop-group-le-sserafim-burn-with-intense-love-in-ep-hot-1229"><strong>READ: K-pop group Le Sserafim burn with intense love in EP &#x27;Hot&#x27;<br/></strong></a></div><p>Some singles were even given new treatments, like a rock version for “EASY,” a special concert arrangement for the hip-shake-inducing “Smart” and a special dance break for the club-ready “CRAZY.”</p><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-0" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DM4Bjcvv6sM/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A261097.90000000002%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="881" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-0" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p>The girls also acknowledged the viral “CRAZY” dance challenge in the Philippines, sparked by comedy superstar Vice Ganda. At one point, they sang the chorus in a cappella, swapping the original voguing-inspired choreography for the simpler dance popularized by the “It’s Showtime” host.</p><p>“We’d like to take this moment to say thank you so much,” HUH YUNJIN said through an interpreter. “Salamat po, Vice Ganda.”</p><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/music/2025/8/2/at-ph-concert-le-sserafim-thanks-vice-ganda-for-crazy-dance-challenge-0026"><strong>READ: At PH concert, Le Sserafim thanks Vice Ganda for ‘Crazy’ dance challenge<br/></strong></a></div><p>Several performances also featured engaging moments with the crowd. During “Sour Grapes,” the quintet stepped off the stage to interact with fans up close, waving at them and completing their hand hearts. In the rock-inflected “1-800-hot-n-fun,” they called out, “Where the heck is Saki?” before picking an audience member to play the part, in a nod to the song’s lyrics.</p><p>The song-and-dance numbers were also elevated by striking production elements: vivid background visuals, dramatic lighting, synchronized stage lifts and a brightly lit catwalk-style bridge that connected the main stage to the B-stage.</p><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/17542907712745.LSF_03.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><p>In “Swan Song,” the members sat on stepped sections of the stage as a waterfall and lush plant visuals illuminated the backdrop, casting them as enchanting forest nymphs. For “The Great Mermaid,” images of crashing waves amplified the powerful ebb and flow of their choreography, mirroring the intensity of the hard-hitting track.</p><p>One could also say the crowd was “crazy” throughout the concert, erupting into passionate cheers, fan chants and sing-alongs that echoed across the arena. KAZUHA even remarked that they were “gaining so much energy from Manila today.”</p><p>Perhaps the most festive moments came during “Fire in The belly,” when nearly everyone in the arena was on their feet, waving lightsticks or flashlight-lit phones in the air, jumping and dancing along with the group. It was one of those moments when the artist and audience seemed to feed off each other’s energy.</p><p>Crazy also aptly described the final set of the main show — arguably its climax — as the group powered through a thrilling sequence: their debut single “Fearless,” a dance segment set to “Burn the Bridge,” followed by “Unforgiven,” which seamlessly transitioned into “Antifragile.”</p><div><strong>Fans’ love</strong></div><p>Hot? The charisma and performances of the girls were absolutely sizzling. But what burned brightest was the fiery love shared between LE SSERAFIM and their FEARNOT.</p><p>When the girls returned to the stage for the encore with “Crazier,” for instance, KIM CHAEWON couldn’t hold back her tears, touched by the sea of handheld banners fans had prepared to celebrate her birthday, which fell just a day before the concert.</p><p>“You guys are very lucky, CHAEWON’s tears are expensive,” YUNJIN said.</p><p>When the crowd sang “Happy Birthday” to her once more, KIM CHAEWON said, “FEARNOT, why are you doing this to me? I’m so touched right now. This is probably the happiest birthday I’ve had in my life.”</p><p>Before performing the English version of their Japanese single “Different,” the group also surprised her with a birthday cake.</p><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/17542908850555.LSF_06.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><p>During the group’s final messages to the crowd, HONG EUNCHAE felt a bit apologetic that it was only now — three years after their debut — that LE SSERAFIM was holding their first solo concert in Manila. Notably, the quintet had visited the country in 2023 for the Asia Artist Awards.</p><p>She added that the fans’ energy helped her genuinely enjoy performing, as their enthusiasm washed away any worries she had while onstage.</p><p>“Whenever I’m performing, I always keep in mind that, ‘I have to keep this part correct and I should not make a mistake in these stages.’ But for today’s concert, I was definitely, truly able to enjoy the whole performance. Because of our FEARNOT today, I was really having fun,” HONG EUNCHAE said.</p><p>“I think for today’s concert, you, FEARNOT, actually made it the best,” KAZUHA said. “Because of our FEARNOT today, I definitely felt that I’d definitely come back here to Manila.”</p><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/17542909048146.LSF_5.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><p>KIM CHAEWON and SAKURA shared a hint of disappointment that their concert in Manila was only for one night. “Though we cannot make it a second day, I kind of felt like today is actually the one day that we can fully enjoy our concert,” SAKURA said.</p><p>For HUH YUNJIN, the concert was a “perfect night,” referencing the all-English single that they also performed during the encore.</p><p>“We had such a good night, we got so much good energy from you guys. Honestly, I think it’s been the best city [in the tour] so far. I think we’re gonna have to be back,” HUH YUNJIN said.</p><p>“We hope you guys take this memory home with you and look back on the memories that we’ve made tonight whenever you’re having a hard time because that’s the kind of existence you guys are for us. Thank you. We love you so much,” she said.</p><div><strong>Setlist</strong></div><p>Born Fire</p><p>Ash</p><p>HOT</p><p>Come Over</p><p>Good Bones</p><p>EASY</p><p>Swan Song</p><p>Sour Grapes</p><p>Blue Flame</p><p>So Cynical (Badum)</p><p>Impurities</p><p>The Great Mermaid</p><p>Smart (Concert Arrangement ver.)</p><p>Fire in the belly</p><p>Chasing Lightning</p><p>Eve, Psyche &amp; the Bluebeard&#x27;s wife</p><p>CRAZY (Dance break)</p><p>1-800-hot-n-fun</p><p>Pierrot</p><p>FEARLESS</p><p>Burn the Bridge</p><p>UNFORGIVEN</p><p>ANTIFRAGILE</p><p>Crazier (Short ver.)</p><p>FEARNOT (Between you, me and the lamppost)</p><p>DIFFERENT (English ver.)</p><p>Perfect Night</p><p>No-Return (Into the unknown)</p>
