Filipino fans of BLACKPINK, known as BLINKs, were overjoyed to welcome Jisoo back to the country.
On March 14, 2025, she kicked off her 2025 JISOO ASIA TOUR: LIGHTS, LOVE, ACTION! in Manila, presented by Collective Touring Philippines.
This fan meet marked the first stop of her Asia tour, shortly after wrapping up her new series filming in Cebu.
Here are the standout and unforgettable moments from the fan meeting:
JISOO: UNFORGETTABLE PERFORMANCES
As her fan meeting tour kicked off in Manila, Jisoo appeared energetically in a pre-recorded video, providing concert reminders and encouraging fans to cheer freely and with enthusiasm.
Loud cheers filled the venue the moment Jisoo stepped onto the stage and opened the event with her lead single "Earthquake" from the album Amortage.
Despite initial nerves, Jisoo's joy was evident as she confessed, "At first, I was very nervous. But as I came on the stage and I saw all my BLINKs, I was overjoyed."
Jisoo delivered a powerful stage presence with her dynamic performances, particularly shining with "Your Love," which she affectionately called "my message to the BLINKs."
The night saw Jisoo also perform "Tears" and "Hugs & Kisses," concluding with her solo debut "Flower," to the delight of her adoring fans.
JISOO: MEMORABLE MOMENTS
Besides the performances, Jisoo's question-and-answer session stole the show as the event's highlight.
During the "Lights" segment, she revealed her quirky and playful side, offering a delightful contrast to her fierce stage persona.
Engaging with the host, YouTuber Jessica Lee, and the crowd, Jisoo eagerly participated in interactive moments, like when she asked fans for help in decorating an acrylic frame featuring her Amortage CD and photocard, ultimately gifting it to a lucky fan.
During the decorating session, Jessica taught Jisoo the phrase "Mahal kita" to write on the frame. Once Jisoo grasped its meaning, she eagerly proclaimed, "Mahal kita, BLINKs!"
From that moment on, Jisoo's playful personality shone as she enthusiastically adopted and used Tagalog phrases. She delighted the audience each time she announced, "Mahal kita, BLINKs," and asked, "Masaya ba kayo?"
BLINKs also erupted in laughter, especially when she playfully exclaimed "Charot!"
During the “ACTION” segment, Jisoo engaged in a game of charades with some lucky fans. She guessed from categories like movie titles, objects, and jobs.
JISOO: ENCORE
During the encore, Jisoo left the stage to wander the floor area, bringing her closer to the fans as she performed “All Eyes On Me” and an encore rendition of “Earthquake.”
Once back on stage, she playfully tossed small heart-shaped stuffed toys to the cheering crowd.
Reflecting on her visit to the country, Jisoo shared: “It’s been quite some time since I last returned to Manila, and this marks my first solo fan meeting.
"Seeing all the banners and tarpaulins upon my arrival truly made me feel happy and welcomed.”
As the event drew to a close, Jisoo conveyed her heartfelt gratitude to her fans for sharing this special moment with her.
She said, "Being here, it’s been so much fun that time just flew by. Spending moments with the BLINKs, I really want to tell you how happy I am to be with all of you."
Jisoo concluded her show by taking photos with her fans, and once again, telling them, "mahal kita."
Following the show, Jisoo turned to Instagram to express her gratitude to her fans.
She wrote, "Thank you for being part of my very first solo fan meeting! I'm thrilled to have started with the big cheers of BLINK Manila. I'm so grateful you made me feel so loved, AMORTAGE [emoji]. Can’t wait to see you again! MAHAL KO KAYO, XOXO."
