GFriend‘s fans known as “Buddies” definitely had the time of their lives during their idol group’s first solo concert in Manila on August 26, 2018. As part of their ‘Season of GFriend’ concert series which started early this year, it was another magical experience for all fans inside the KIA Theatre.
The six (6) beautiful ladies performed a total of twenty-eight (28) songs throughout the concert. Fanboys and fangirls alike, raised their banners to support GFriend. Light sticks illuminated the audience as soon as the lights were turned off and the concert finally started.
During talks in between of performances, the members expressed how surprised they were because of the loud fan-chants. They were also amused that the Filipino Buddies sang-along with them while performing!
The concert was originally scheduled for the 19th of August, but was then changed to 26th instead, due to flight disturbances in Manila Ninoy Aquino International Airport. GFriend members mentioned how excited they were to meet the fans again after coming back to the Philippines, and how unfortunate it was to delay the concert. Despite of schedule changes, thousands of fans still made it and had an amazing night.

GFriend performed their hit songs “Fingertip”, “Navillera”, “Rough”, and many more. Each member also performed a cover from one of their senior’s hit songs:
– SinB with Boa’s “No.1”
– Sowon with Sunmi’s “Gashina”
– Umji with IU’s “Twenty Three”
– Eunha with Gain’s “Bloom”
– Yuju with Ailee’s “Heaven”
– Yerin with Hyori’s “U Go Girl”
GFriend’s SinB who allegedly dislocated her right shoulder while dancing, held back the pain to finish their performances well. They were all smiles as they expressed how lucky and grateful they are to everyone who has been supporting them from the beginning.
The girls made their concert even more special as they went down the stage and walked around the venue to greet and see their Buddies closer!
