The Philippines was the last stop of his Asia tour that was launched in Seoul last July 8. From South Korea, Han Seung-woo toured Bangkok, Taipei, Kuala Lumpur, Tokyo, Hong Kong and Manila.

The title of the tour, “Special Live One,” was coined by Han Seung-woo himself, wanting to become one with his fans through the show. Han Seung-woo participated in the entire production process of the show, from the title of the tour to the selection of the set list and the composition of the stage.

He opened his Manila show with “Dive Into” and “Flutter.” 

“Kamusta kayo? (How are you?) First of all, thank you very much for being part of my Asia tour ‘Special Live One’ here in Manila. Actually this is my last performance in my first Asia tour. Originally, last week was my last stop. But thanks to your request, I got to be here too,” Han Seung-woo (한승우) told fans. 

He added, “And just as precious as the gift that you gave me, I will make sure that I will give it back to you. It’s kinda sad to think that I’m at the end of my tour.”

Han Seung-woo released his third mini-album “Frame” last June and thanked the fans for supporting it. With the success of the album, he said he is burdened about his next album. 

“Of course I would be lying if I say I have no burden towards the expectations of my next album but I’ll do my best,” he said. 

During the show, he also performed “Flutter,” “Child,” “Reply,” “Sacrifice,” “Runnin’ High,” “Lovelorn,” “I Just Want Love” and “Burn.”

“This is the first time that we saw each other in the Philippines,” he said. 

About the most memorable moment that he had, Han Seung-woo said, “This is actually my last stop, right? I hope you will do everything so that you will be my most memorable moment.” 

“I came here today to return the energy that you gave me but I feel like I gained more thanks to you. I’ll make sure to treasure these moments and value them. Mahal nyo ba ako? (Do you love me?) Gwapo ba ako? (Am I handsome?),” he said. 

As Han Seung-woo ended the show, he said, “I had so much fun but I feel like it’s ending so quickly.”

As he was about to take a photo with the audience, a fan video was shown. 

“Our Seungwoo whose eyes are shining that just like that star. Seungwoo completes HAN_A as much as HAN_A completes Seungwoo. Let’s be together forever,” the message in the video read. 

Han Seung-woo enlisted in the military in July 2021 and was discharged last January. 

“After I got discharged from the military, I got to prepare for my album and perform, I had a lot of thoughts. I was thinking that a lot of things had already happened. Of course, there were sad times and happy times. But to me right now is very strong. I know a lot of ways. Because of this, I think I had the thought that I would just do my best and continue on,” he said. 

He said his fans are the most important to him. 

“Thanks to our Philippine HAN_As. I think to be together with HAN_As is very meaningful. I think the people that I value the most are you guys. So I’ll do better to give more energy to you guys. Just how much you cheer for me, I will cheer for you too so let us make this day memorable. I hope we get to meet each other in a better opportunity. Salamat po. Mahal ko kayo (Thank you. I love you),” said Han Seung-woo.
