The concert not only drew Filipino fans but also foreigners. One of them was Thanh, who flew to Manila from Hanoi, Vietnam, just to watch NCT Dream for two days.
NCT Dream opened the concert with “Box” followed by “119,” “SOS,” “Go,” “Poison,” “Drippin’” and “Arcade.”
“Kamusta, Manila (How are you, Manila?). I”m very, very happy to welcome you all to the 2024 NCT Dream world tour, The Dream Show 3 Dream Scape in Manila!” Mark greeted the audience.
Jeno said, “It’s been a while since we returned to the Philippines. Did you guys miss me?”
“Kamusta? (How are you?) It’s been a while, Manila. I missed you so much,” said Jaemin.
Jisung said, “It’s been almost a year and three months since we returned to Manila. I really missed you all so much.”
“Long time no see. Thank you so much for filling up this space,” said Haechan.
Chenle, who was not able to perform during NCT Dream’s concert in Manila last year, said, “Last year, on our Dream Show 2, I was not able to join as I was not feeling well. Finally, I’m here. Nice to meet you guys.”
