Filipino Shawols and TAEMates were treated to an unforgettable night during Taemin's "EPHEMERAL GAZE" Manila concert at the Araneta Coliseum, last November 24.
The SHINee star captivated the audience with electrifying performances, showcasing his charisma, sensuality, and emotional depth.
Taemin delivered a powerful set list featuring solo hits like "Deja Vu," "Guilty," "Clockwork," "Sexy in the Air," and "Crush," among others.
Beyond his performances, the K-pop singer charmed fans by engaging with them personally. He enthusiastically learned the iconic Filipino "Eeyyy" sign and joked around both on and off stage.
What truly stole fans' hearts, however, was Taemin's tribute to SHINee by performing their classic hits "Replay," "Lucifer," and "Ring Ding Dong." The nostalgic moments had the crowd singing along and yearning for more. They even expressed their wish for Taemin to return to the Philippines but this time with all the SHINee members.
Taemin promised, “I will be back, so please wait a little bit.”
In response, fans erupted in chants of "SHINee! SHINee! SHINee!"
Taemin smiled, nodded, and added a playful "Eeyyy" sign. Fans were delighted as they interpreted it as a pinky promise, a gesture reminiscent of his previous events.
Online netizens celebrated the concert as well by sharing their experiences and posting snapshots of Taemin's dazzling moments on stage. Some highlighted how cute yet sexy in the concert. While others, couldn't move on their personal interactions with the singer.

I didn't think he would do the “fall” here. Maybe because there were no stairs but he did. Heaven is such an epic song, from music production to stage performance. #TAEMIN_WORLD_TOUR #Ephemeral_Gaze_in_Manila #TAEMIN #태민 pic.twitter.com/5u7A13o4tD

“if someone saw me,
they'd think I'm reckless and foolish
turning my back on everything familiar
throwing my whole body into an unfamiliar world”

Taemates: Cheer loudly and proceed to stomp their feet on the floor in appreciation of Taemin's mini-recital of Replay.
Taemin: "Whoa, what is with this?" He then imitates the crowd and sprints on the spot.#태민… pic.twitter.com/LtTFhIT3sl
After his Manila leg, Taemin will continue his world tour in 2025. He will visit next in Macau, Mexico City, Sao Paulo, Santiago, New York, and many more.
