K-POP boy group EXO would not let the wallets of its Filipino fans breathe because another member is returning to the Philippines.
On Friday, concert promoter Wilbros Live announced on X (formerly Twitter) that South Korean singer D.O., whose real name is Doh Kyungsoo, will bring his “DO it” concert tour to the country on August 16.
The exact venue for the event has yet to be revealed.
According to Company Soosoo, D.O.’s agency, the “DO it” concert tour will kick off with a two-day show in Seoul, from July 19 to 20. It will be followed by shows in Taipei, Jakarta, Singapore, Malaysia, Macau, Bangkok, and Tokyo.
More Asian countries will be included in the tour, it said.
The “DO it” concert tour comes after D.O. held his two-day “BLOOM” fan concert on August 31 and September 1, 2024 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City. This marked his first fan concert in the Philippines, which followed EXO’s “ElyXiOn in Manila” concert in 2018.
