In the Philippines, IU will hold her concert on June 1 at the Philippine Arena in Bulacan, becoming the first Korean solo artist to hold a show at the venue. IU’s post on X (formerly Twitter) was reposted by promoter Pulp Live World. 

This will be IU’s second show in the Philippines in four and a half years. She held her first ever concert in the country,  “Love, Poem,” on Dec. 13, 2019 at the Araneta Coliseum. 

The Araneta Coliseum concert, which she described as an event that “feels like a festival,” ran for four hours. 

IU was impressed by the loud cheers from Filipino fans. 

“This is not something that I just say really. I’m gonna bet everything that no one can beat Manila. I feel all my staff are so shocked right now. You guys are really the best. The people who love are all here in the Philippines. The city of passion and love: Manila. Salamat po. Babalik ako para makita kayo ulit (Thank you. I will be back to see you again),” she said.
