With Ben Chan of Bench
Bench gave Filipino Hallyu fans another sweet treat by bringing their newest #GlobalBenchsetters to Manila. K-pop powerhouse Enhypen held a fan meet at the SM MOA Arena last May 28, and Engenes (Enhypen fans) are still in a daze.
Enhypen members Sunghoon, Ni-Ki, Jake, Heesung, Jungwon, Sunoo, and Jay
The energy of their Filipino fans was unmatched. It could be the reason why the band chose to close their “Fate” World Tour at the New Clark City Stadium last February. Our pogi boys Jungwon, Ni-ki, Sunghoon, Sunoo, Heeseung, Jake, and Jay were glad to perform and interact with their fans. It wouldn’t be a fan meet without the camera giving the audience some special screen time with the artists. Fans spotted wearing the same Bench t-shirt as the members in the photoshoot secured their place in the split screen to do a pose with them.
With limited time, they gave concert-level performances of their hit tracks. They captivated us with ParadoXXX Invasion right from the opening, then some sub-unit random dance plays during the games, and ending it with Sweet Venom, which made Engenes’ hearts stop. Enhypen and Engenes exchanged sweet messages not only through words, but also through energy and supportive cheers—a manifestation of their unwavering connection with global fans that transcends language.
