Music fans in the Philippines have suffered a two-year concert drought since lockdowns began. Luckily for some Filipino K-pop fans, the drought is ending very soon with Begin Again: K-pop Edition the first live concert for an international act in the Philippines since March 2020.

The concert will be held on 29th May 2022 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City and will feature several K-pop acts. These include Key from the second generation boy group SHINee and the NCT sub-unit with the group’s youngest members, NCT Dream – both from SM Entertainment.
