With the number of EXO’s tingi concerts since 2023—an overwhelming yet exciting time for fans of the popular boy group—each member who has visited the country has proven why their solo concerts are worth watching. Whether it’s the electrifying live performances, their cute and wholesome interactions with fans, or their adorable charm and visuals, every show offers a unique experience that reminds EXO-Ls why they fell in love with each member in the first place.
This time, Xiumin is bound to make everyone fall in love with him all over again! Here are five reasons why his upcoming solo concert is a must-watch:
1. This is his first solo concert in Manila
Xiumin has previously held multiple live performances in Manila. In December 2022, he and fellow member Chen performed at the advocacy event Be You 2. He also took the stage at the Korea Travel Fiesta in September 2024.

3. We will see a different side of Xiumin
We’ve seen Xiumin take on mysterious and dark concepts during EXO’s group comebacks, but with the launch of his solo career, there’s been a noticeable shift in the themes he presents to fans and listeners.
