The BOYNEXTDOOR in Manila concert was so much fun!
We are so happy that BND’s “KNOCK ON Vol. 1” tour made its highly anticipated stop in Manila because, as expected, the sextet delivered an electrifying performance that exceeded our expectations. Known for their self-produced, catchy music and relatable charm, BOYNEXTDOOR captivated Filipino ONEDOORs with their stage presence and cute and upbeat energy.
From the opening act of the BOYNEXTDOOR in Manila concert, the energy radiating from the stage was palpable. BOYNEXTDOOR seamlessly navigated their discography, showcasing the original versions (Jaehyun even pointed this out) of their hit singles, including “Nice Guy,” “Earth, Wind & Fire,” “But I Like You,” and their latest digital release, “IF I SAY, I LOVE YOU.”
Their dynamic choreography combined with their evident enthusiasm created an engaging and immersive experience for the audience. The boys even went down from the stage to take pictures and hold the hands of lucky ONEDOORs at the barricade!

The group’s interaction with the Filipino ONEDOORs was both genuine and effective, and their great command of the English language facilitated seamless communication, fostering a sense of connection with everybody in the crowd. This ability to bridge cultural and linguistic barriers really contributed to the overall enjoyment of the concert. They even spoke in Tagalog, making us laugh with phrases like “e di wow”. Jaehyun also left us in awe by speaking longer sentences like a pro.

Beyond their musical performances, BOYNEXTDOOR presented thoughtfully curated segments during the BOYNEXTDOOR in Manila concert, such as an acapella version of “20” and exclusive VCRs (with Tagalog subs – major props to Pulp Live World for this!).
The BOYNEXTDOOR in Manila concert, in its entirety, was more than just a concert. It was a chance for us ONEDOORs to grow our love for the group even deeper for their fun charms, unique artistry, and ability to connect with fans on a personal level. We hope with all of our hearts that they’ll come knocking on the Philippines’ door again soon. Thank you so much for giving us this BOYNEXTDOOR in Manila concert, Pulp Live World!
