<p>Red Velvet’s Wendy left Manila ReVeluvs deeply moved after sharing a heartfelt letter during the Manila stop of her W:ealive solo concert, which also marked the final night of her first-ever world tour.</p><p>Addressing the crowd as her “dearest Manila ReVeluvs and fans,” Wendy expressed her overwhelming gratitude as she stood onstage for the final time on her W:ealive tour, which kicked off in South Korea last year.</p><p>“I wrote a letter for you because this is the end of my world tour,” Wendy said. “Today, as I stand here for the final time for WENDY’s world tour, my heart is overflowing with gratitude.”</p><div> </div><div><iframe src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?height=476&amp;href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Freel%2F25542900585360213%2F&amp;show_text=false&amp;width=267&amp;t=0" width="267" height="476" style="border:none;overflow:hidden" scrolling="no" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><div> </div><p>She went on: “This journey that began in Korea on September 20th, finds its most beautiful ending yet with all of you today.”</p><p>Reflecting on her journey as an artist, Wendy looked back on her beginnings with Red Velvet. “When I first stepped on the stage with Red Velvet, I discovered what truly happiness felt like.”</p><p>She also opened up about her growth as a solo artist, describing how releasing her own music fulfilled a long-held dream.</p><p>“As I released my solo albums, watching my own songs come to life one by one, a quiet dream rooted in my heart, a dream of having my own stage, my own moment. These past four months have made my dream realized and they will forever remain the most luminous chapter of my life,” she expressed.</p><p>While acknowledging that a singer’s purpose is often to bring joy through music, Wendy emphasized that it was her fans who gave her strength throughout the tour.</p><p>“They say that as a singer, my purpose is to touch hearts and bring joy through music, but the truth is, you have been the ones filling my heart. You have given me more love, more strength, more light than I ever imagined possible,” she stated.</p><div> </div><div><br/></div><div class="twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered" style="display:flex;max-width:550px;width:100%;margin-top:10px;margin-bottom:10px"><iframe id="twitter-widget-0" scrolling="no" frameBorder="0" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" title="X Post" src="https://platform.twitter.com/embed/Tweet.html?dnt=false&amp;embedId=twitter-widget-0&amp;features=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%3D%3D&amp;frame=false&amp;hideCard=false&amp;hideThread=false&amp;id=2012504099376517270&amp;lang=en&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com%2F%23%2Fworkspace%2Fmonitoring%3Fitem%3Durn%3Anewsml%3Aod2-workbench-api.abs-cbn.com%3A2026-01-21T21%3A15%3A33.429507%3Ac526c353-be81-4e18-b736-eec07892e76b%26action%3Dedit&amp;sessionId=1bdb60e943d81f283b7d0bd88b147b6e84ea65f5&amp;theme=light&amp;widgetsVersion=2615f7e52b7e0%3A1702314776716&amp;width=550px" style="position:absolute;visibility:hidden;width:0px;height:0px;display:block;flex-grow:1" data-tweet-id="2012504099376517270"></iframe></div><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-twitter-extracted-i1769219636319476196="true"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">wendy&#x27;s letter to manila and to the staff🥹<br/><br/>my precious angel cried😭 <a href="https://t.co/XTBXmrvigG">pic.twitter.com/XTBXmrvigG</a></p>— World Of Wendy (@WorldOf_Wendy) <a href="https://twitter.com/WorldOf_Wendy/status/2012504099376517270?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 17, 2026</a></blockquote><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charSet="utf-8"></script><div><br/></div><div><strong> </strong></div><p>Standing before a crowd singing along to her songs, Wendy said she felt alive - one of the reasons behind her W:ealive concert tour.</p><p>“On this stage, surrounded by your voice, I have felt hope, I have felt truly, deeply alive.

She noted that Manila was the loudest crowd she encountered throughout the tour.</p><p>“I am already feeling alive because of your energy. Before I entered for the ‘Fireproof’ (performance), I was supposed to have an in-ear but because of your energy and shouting, I couldn&#x27;t hear myself at all. This is actually my first time to pull this (in-ear) out,” she said.</p><div> </div><div><strong>https://abscbnaad-my.sharepoint.com/:i:/g/personal/madadulla_abs-cbn_com/IQC7CtUhKKFHR5We_y69K9GGAUXGNDI0r3sGbudmGkK-o0o?e=N48egR </strong></div><div> </div><p>“Your energy and your passion are really amazing. I am the one who is supposed to give you the energy and passion, but I am the one who is getting it from you. It was incredible,” she added. “I want to thank you guys, Manila for coming to my concert. I want you to remember that you will always be in my heart.”</p><p>Wendy also teased more music, performances, and group activities to come in 2026, expressing her desire to do more as a soloist and reunite with Red Velvet on more stages.</p><p>“I was quite thinking that I&#x27;ve done a lot but this is just the beginning, I want to show you more of Wendy stuff. I want to show you more Red Velvet stuff this year because I do miss my team. I want to do more concerts, more stages, more performances.&quot; &quot;I have done a lot in the past years as you can see in the video, but I wanted to do more. I&#x27;m very thirsty about it and I&#x27;m pretty sure this is the beginning. Thank you for always being there for me no matter what and because of you I can do this thing on the stage as a singer,” she stated.</p><p>Wendy’s ‘W:ealive’ concert was made possible by L‑Squared Productions PH. </p>
