Held at the SM Mall of Asia Arena on June 24, 2023, the event was a resounding success, leaving NCTzens with unforgettable memories and greater appreciation for the talented trio.
Filipino words
The fancon began with an engaging talk segment hosted by Sam Oh.
As Doyoung, Jaehyun, and Jungwoo settled on the comfortable sofas at the center of the stage, they showcased their Tagalog skills, greeting the Filipino NCTzens with enthusiasm.
Doyoung began with his charming, “Mabuhay!” which was followed by Jaehyun’s “Mahal kita.”
Unable to remember the Tagalog word he was supposed to say, Jungwoo asked help from the members, before Doyoung eventually rememered, "Kamusta," getting the fans giddy with adoration about his unsure answer.
Scent-sational Dialogue
During another sit-down break, the trio hinted at Jaehyun's upcoming acting debut.
When asked about his desired role, Jaehyun hesitated before confessing his interest in portraying a villain.
Doyoung playfully expressed his anticipation, saying, "I hope to see his bad, bad face."
Coincidentally, it was recently announced that Jaehyun would make his acting debut as the main character in the new series 6 Hours Later You Die.
When discussing future song genres, Jungwoo pondered before suggesting hip-hop, while Doyoung joined in, chuckling, "reggae."

GAMES
The fancon games further connected the artists with the audience.
For the first game called Spot the Difference, the members had to identify five subtle distinctions between two album photos of themselves —in 50 seconds.
As the first contestant, Doyoung confidently voiced, "Yes, I'm ready!" before hilariously failing to guess majority of the answers.
While Doyoung was laughing about how he was able to spot only two differences, Jaehyun and Jungwoo stepped in to guess the rest.
When it was Jaehyun's turn, he humbly said, "I'll try," before acing the whole game by getting a perfect score.
Following him was Jungwoo, who also got a 5 out of 5, only because he adorably asked help from the NCTzens.
In another game, charades, three lucky NCTzens were chosen from the audience to play with one member of NCT DJJ.
The opportunity was given to participants from various seating sections, including one lucky fan from the General Admission area.
MUSIC
However, the true highlight of the evening was the mesmerizing musical performances by NCT DJJ.
The trio flawlessly showcased all six songs from their debut mini-album, Perfume.
The eponymous title track, "Perfume," took center stage and enraptured the crowd with its captivating melody and powerful choreography.
Filo NCTzens got their grooves on with the jazz funky beat of the song "Kiss."
Medium-tempo R&B "Dive" is the third track of the album and one that describes the feeling of deeply falling in love.
The feel-good upbeat vibe of "Strawberry Sunday" tickled the hearts of NCTzens, while the sultry body waves and dolphin dives from the song "Can We Go Back" got cheers from the crowd.
Finally, Korean ballad "Ordinary" tugged at the heartstrings of the fans with its emotional lyrics about unrequited love.
