This was Treasure’s return to Manila in eight months since their debut performance in the country in a show last July.
“Welcome to Treasure tour here in Manila,” said Choi Hyun-suk.
Filipino Teumes (fandom name) aptly described the Manila concert “A Day Teu Remember” as they experienced memorable moments with Treasure.
Treasure launched the “Hello” tour in Seoul in November and held concerts in Japan, Taiwan, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and Singapore before coming to the Philippines.
Accompanied by a live band, Treasure’s Treasure’s Choi Hyun-suk, Jihoon, Asahi, Doyoung, Haruto, Junkyu, Yoshi, Park Jeong-woo, Yoon Jae-hyuk and So Jung-hwan mesmerized the crowd with every performance, coupled with many moments where they engaged with the fans including going down to the audience area to be up close with them.
They opened the concert with “Jikjin,” the main track of their first mini-album “The Second Step: Chapter One” that came out in February 2022.
Treasure followed this with “Boy,” “I Love You,” “Going Crazy,” “Come To Me,” and “B.L.T (Bling Like This).”

They also performed “Slowmotion,” “It’s Okay,” “Hello,” “Clap!,” “Darari,” “Orange,” “Hold It In,” “Thank You,” “VolKno,” “MMM,” “Rhythm Ta,” “Bang Bang Bang,” “U,” “My Treasure,” “Everyday” and “BFF.”
Pickup lines
Treasure members also spoke cute Filipino (and English) pickup lines.
“Gusto mo ba akong maging jowa (Do you want me to be your lover?)” Jihoon asked the audience.
Junkyu said, “Treasure Maker, wait. There is something on your face: cute, maganda (beautiful), sexy.”
“Teume, sundo kita mamya (Teume, I’ll pick you up later),” said Yoon Jae-hyuk.
Park Jeong-woo said, “May sasabihin ako sa inyo. Crush kita (I want to tell you something. You are my crush).”
“Teume, Ikaw lamang gusto ko makita. Mahal kita (Teume, you are the only one I want to see. I love you),” said Doyoung.
“Teacher ka ba? Kasi you taught me how to love (Are you a teacher? Because you taught me how to love),” said So Jung-hwan.
Fun night
Fans enjoyed the concert, singing along with Treasure, and waving their lightsticks as they cheered and screamed.
“I have no words grabe yung stage presence nila talaga, they literally burned the stage,” one fan posted on Twitter.
A surprise birthday celebration was also held for members Haruto and Choi Hyun-suk, whose birthdays are on April 5 and 21, respectively. A cake prepared by fans was presented on stage.
"Thank you for congratulating me on my birthday, and I will continue to be a hard-working Treasure member,” said Haruto.
Choi Hyun-suk said, "I am touched by the surprise gift. I am very grateful and I love you."
