PERFORMANCES
Although all three Kpop stars have come from groups with major hits that attest to their star factor, they each have solo songs that are equally impactful.
Baekhyun, renowned as the lead vocalist of EXO, has achieved immense success as a solo artist.
With three hit mini-albums under his belt—City Lights, Delight, and Bambi—Baekhyun has captivated audiences with his soulful voice and impressive artistry.
The OVERPASS concert marks his solo debut on the concert stage in the Philippines, as well as his first performance in the country in four years since the EXO PLANET #5 – EXplOration concert in 2019.
It is most likely that he is going to perform his most-streamed songs, including "Bambi" from his eponymous album, "Cry For Love," "Candy," and "For You."

Meanwhile, Somi—who soared to fame after emerging as the top fan favorite on the survival reality show Produce 101, and gaining commercial success as the center vocalist of the K-Pop group I.O.I.—embarked on a solo career in 2018.
She achieved chart-toppers with her debut single "Birthday," and subsequent viral releases, "Dumb Dumb" and "XOXO." All three of these songs are assumed to be performed during the concert, since this is her first-ever performance in the country since going solo.

Based on his previous concert, fans can anticipate an energetic stage performance featuring his popular tracks "BTBT," "Keep me up," "illa illa," and "Lost At Sea."
Other songs from B.I's mini-albums Waterfall, Cosmos, and Love or Loved, Pt. 1—released over the past two years—are also expected to take center stage during the event.
