Fans of the boy group, also known as SUM, flocked to the venue with more than 660 of in attendance.
The three-hour program was packed with impressive performances of the six members, namely, Theo, Gab, Justin, Yen, Haro, and JL.
The six-member boy group was thrilled with the big turnout at the fan meet called SUMmer PLUUStival.
Turning emotional, Haro recalled how he and his fellow members were so scared that no one would show up during their earlier show at Out of Town Station 2 in Cebu.
Seeing the crowd at the Sky Dome, he said, gave him the boost he needed to give everyone a good time.
"Ngayon po, nakita po namin na madami po pumunta po ngayon, and super thankful po talaga kami dito. Sobrang salamat po," said Haro.
"Hindi po namin ma-express kung gaano kami ka-thankful, pero ayun po, thank you po.
We will do our best po.
"Ayun po, [sinisiguro namin na] makakapag-release pa po kami ng madaming songs so please support po. Thank you."
Haro also gave a special shoutout to Geong Seong Han, CEO of ShowBT Group, for giving him and his groupmates the opportunity to be part of PLUUS.
Haro told their fans, "Yan po si [Tatang Robin] po talaga yung nag-trust po sa akin na sa talent ko po and sa kaya ko po and kung ano po yung kaya po namin.
"And wala po kami talaga dito kung wala po talaga siya, so thankful po talaga kami sa kanya."
a fan meet to remember
PLUUS started the show with the group's debut song "My Time."
The P-pop group also performed “Everybody” by Backstreet Boys alongside their singles such as “My Time," “Cross My Heart,” “Missing You,” and "Amigo."
The members even approached the audience area for fans to see them up close.
One of the highlights was when the crowd lit up their phones as PLUUS performed "Amigo."
PLUUS also serenaded SUM with the group's romantic song “Aming Pahinga.”
While there were technical difficulties, the members just focused on delivering a fan meet to remember.
Lucky fans also got the chance to play games with PLUUS members.
One of the games was a random dance challenge where the players were asked to showcase dance moves to the beat of “Super” by SEVENTEEN, “Big Boy” by SZA, “Cupid” by FIFTY FIFTY, “Love Shot” by EXO, and “Alab” by SB19, among others.
At the end of the first game, JL took home the PHP2,000 cash prize given by Tatang Robin himself (a.k.a. SBTown CEO Geong Seong Han).
The second game was 4-Pics-and-1-Word where contestants had to guess who among the PLUUS members fit the photos being displayed on the screen.
For the last game, PLUUS took on the challenge called "I Am Ground," with Yen emerging as the winner.
SURPRISE GUESTS
There were also surprise guests who performed on stage and gave their message of support for PLUUS.
Among them were Maki (brother of PLUUS’ Haro), YGIG (SBTown girl group), and Kim Kyeong Su (composer of “Tilaluha” by SB19 and a good friend of Tatang Robin).
Kathleen Dy-Go of Universal Records CEO also congratulated PLUS for their successful show, and the group members expressed their gratitude by giving her a special gift.
