"Every time we go to Manila, we feel empowered," TREASURE wows crowd with electrifying performances

On April 18, TREASURE held their third solo concert in Manila, Philippines, as part of their 'PULSE ON' world tour. This marks the group's fourth consecutive year performing in the country, following their international debut at the 'K-pop Masterz' joint concert in 2022 and their subsequent solo tours, 'HELLO' and 'REBOOT.'

Standing as ten figures against a white and red LED backdrop, their silhouettes on the elevated stage exuded pure power. Decked in black princely outfits, the members opened the high-energy show with "MMM," "KING KONG," "BONA BONA," "BOY," and "JIKJIN," coupled with pyrotechnics that signaled a grand entrance.

While this was TREASURE’s fourth live performance in Manila, the energy of both the members and the fans never wavered. In fact, TREASURE and TREASURE MAKERs (fandom name) consistently work together to surpass history every time they reunite in the same venue.

The show also featured dynamic unit performances, including T5 (Jihoon, Junkyu, Jaehyuk, Doyoung, and Junghwan) with their debut single "MOVE"; Asahi and Haruto with the pop-rock track "THANK YOU"; and the rap line Hyunsuk, Yoshi, and Haruto performing "VolKno."

The setlist included "YELLOW" and "SARURU" from their special mini-album 'PLEASURE'; "BETTER THAN ME," "PARADISE," and "EVERYTHING" from their third mini-album 'LOVE PULSE'; and fan-favorite tracks "HELLO," "DARARI (Rock Remix)," "I LOVE YOU," and "GOING CRAZY."

"Thank you for your love for us," said Junkyu. This level of gratitude and the members' repeated praise for the crowd's energy echoed throughout the entire show. 

"Sometimes we get tired and stressed, but every time we go to Manila, we feel empowered," added Jaehyuk. Yoshi expressed, "You are one of the reasons why we love to be on stage."

A few hours before the concert began, members Haruto, Jaehyuk, and Jeongwoo made a surprise visit to their pop-up store at a mall near the venue. "We were warmly welcomed," Jeongwoo said during the concert.

As the 'PULSE ON' stop in Manila came to an end, Jihoon reflected on the city being a special place, as it marked their first live performance outside of their home country. "After going through COVID-19, when we started doing overseas concerts, we first came to Manila," he said.

He added, "I remember that was when I made my very first memory of the city. At that time, we had just debuted not too long ago. Although we travel abroad often now, back then we were a bit worried. But our fans in Manila welcomed us with such passionate cheers. It was the first time we heard cheers that loud through our in-ears, and that moment gave us many good memories."

Hyunsuk told the crowd, "Stay healthy until we meet again," with the members promising to return soon. Meanwhile, the group hinted at an upcoming comeback later this year, marking their first project since the 'LOVE PULSE' mini-album released on September 1, 2025.

"When our new album comes out, we’ll be showing a different side of ourselves with new music," said Jihoon. "We hope to come back to Manila with an even cooler image and receive your amazing support again."
