K-pop fans were treated to a night they will never forget on Sunday, May 29, as some of their favorite K-pop idols sang their hearts out during the Begin Again: K-pop Edition concert at the Araneta Coliseum. It was the first K-pop concert held in the Philippines since the lockdown in March 2020.

SHINee's Key, NCT Dream, WEi, and ALICE performed some of their greatest hits to their fans who were singing along, doing fan chants, and waving their lightsticks.

Shawols, NCTzen, RUi and BLRIS thank your for coming tonight! Hope everyone got home safely. 'Til next concert. 😊@cdmentph #KEY #NCTDREAM #WEi #ALICE #BeginAgain_KPOP #BeginAgain_KPOPatTheBigDome pic.twitter.com/tDgEDDXUzC

It was a memorable event not only for those who attended but also for the idols themselves, who missed performing in front of a live audience due to the COVID-19 pandemic. They expressed their gratitude for the warm welcome they received and repeatedly thanked the crowd for their love and support.

The hashtag #BeginAgain_KPOP is still trending as of writing, with fans sharing video clips and tweeting their experience.
