By Jashley Ann Cruz

It's been a few days after fourth-generation K-pop boy band THE BOYZ landed on Philippine soil and we're still not over as to how they made Filo Deobis' hearts skip a beat during their highly-anticipated concert.

THE BOYZ comprising members Sangyeon, Jacob, Younghoon, Hyunjae, Juyeon, Kevin, New, Q, JuHaknyeon, Sunwoo, and Eric held their “ZENERATION IN MANILA” concert last Saturday, July 15, 2023, at the Araneta Coliseum in Cubao, Quezon City.

During the said event, Filo Deobis brought their heart byong bong lightsticks with them and celebrated togetherness with THE BOYZ. Right off the bat, fans were showered with jaw-dropping performances that further cemented their stance as ultimate performers. We were mesmerized by their stamina as they kept going one song after another.

When it was time to take a pause and greet their Filo Deobis, they were mesmerized by the sea of people in front of them. Fans were shouting, screaming to their lungs, and telling THE BOYZ how much they love them.

It was very evident in Filo Deobis' screams how much they waited to see their favorite boys perform live. The group's leader, Sangyeon, with pure intentions even told them to protect their throats as it might hurt the next day. Filo Deobis are touched by his concern but until the end, they sang with THE BOYZ and cheered on them.

To return the favor, THE BOYZ gave in to Filo Deobis' requests. There were songs that aren't part of their set list that they briefly performed for them, a few signages that the members noticed and participated in, and a lot other more.

During the performance of their song “Thrill Ride,” Jacob wowed everyone during his dance break where he hit the moves to SB19's “Gento.” He revealed that he only memorized the steps a few hours before the concert and fans loved it even more because of how effortless he looked.

THE BOYZ also kept Filo Deobis entertained while they are on performance breaks. At one moment, Juyeon and Eric presented to fans their best rendition of sexy and cute concepts. Eric even teased fans as he showed a bit of his skin. But Kevin gave a bit more and fully flaunted his abs while opening his top during their performance of “MAVERICK.”

In every possible way, THE BOYZ serenaded Filo Deobis. Fans effortlessly fell in love with their remarkable moves, stunning visuals, and jaw-dropping vocals.

They also showed how versatile they are as artists as they perform songs from their wide range of discography. From “Ego,” “Reveal,” “Awake,” “Maverick,” and “Roar” to “I'm Your Boy,” “Keeper,” “Only One,” and “D.D.D,” THE BOYZ grooved to them all and made sure that their Filo Deobis stay entertained 'til the end.
