IU is set to perform at the Philippine Arena for her “H.E.R.E.H World Tour” this Saturday
K-pop soloist and actress IU has finally arrived in the Philippines last Thursday, May 30, in preparation for her upcoming “H.E.R.E.H World Tour” in Manila (Bulacan).
Reports said that the singer arrived at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) terminal 1 last night where Filipino Uaenas patiently waited to get a glimpse of her.

After her arrival, IU rode in a van where she attempted to wave hello to her fans.
She even brought snacks and gifts from Korea as present to fans who waited for her arrival in Manila.

But what meant to be a fun welcoming night for IU turned out to be chaotic as some fans rushed toward the singer's van. Some even tried to put their hands inside as the windows were down so IU could greet the fans outside.
This caused chaos among fans, and some apologized to the artist through their social media accounts. They also expressed their concern for the safety of the idol and assured that they will be more cautious on the day of the concert.

Although IU's arrival in the Philippines was chaotic and exciting in both ways, Uaenas are still looking forward for the singer's concert this weekend.
IU is set to hit the stage of Philippine Arena this Saturday, June 1, at 6:30 p.m. for her “H.E.R.E.H World Tour” in Manila. This would be her first show in the Philippines after almost five years since her “Love Poem in Manila” last December 2019 at the Araneta Coliseum.
PULP Live World also prepared an IU Pop-up Store to celebrate her highly-anticipated concert in the Philippines.
They first brought the store in the Mall of Asia from May 19 to 28, and will move to the Philippine Arena on the day of the concert.
According to PULP Live World, the IU pop-up store/official merch booth will be located at the Mega Tent Parking A and will be open from 9 a.m. until supplies last.
Fans could avail some of IU's official merchandise like lightstick, grip toks, tote bag, sweatshirt, hats, and many more.
