K-pop’s invasion of Manila shows no sign of stopping after concert promoter PULP Live World announced today that it’s adding another night to EXO’s Philippine tour.
The promoter said in its social media posts that the South Korean boyband, known for hits like Growl and Call Me Baby, will add an Aug. 23 performance at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City, making the Manila leg of their tour a two-night affair.
Originally, the group was scheduled to perform only on Saturday, Aug. 24. That concert will start at 8pm while the new Aug. 24 show will start at 6pm.

EXO is a frequent visitor in the country. They were in Manila in August last year for the Philippine leg of their EXO PLANET #4 – The ElyXiOn tour. They returned again two months later to perform at the live broadcast of the variety program Show Champion, which was taped at the Mall of Asia Arena.
This time, the boys, called the “Kings of K-pop,” will be here for the Philippine leg of their EXO PLANET #5 – EXplOration tour.
Fans couldn’t hide their excitement with the promoter’s announcement. Take Maurice Alfonso, who said she’s willing to sell a body part to afford the ticket. She joked: “I’m selling my kidney. PM (private message) is key.”
Chelsie Camu tagged a friend and wrote: “Is this a sign that I should buy [a ticket]?
Pia Santillan thanked the concert organizer.
“I still have a chance,” wrote Mary Empasis to her friend.
