ITZY Continues TUNNEL VISION in Manila, Reuniting With Local Fans After Two Years
ITZY completed the Manila stop of ITZY 3RD WORLD TOUR TUNNEL VISION at SM Mall of Asia Arena on July 11, marking their first Manila solo concert in about two years.
ITZY continued the momentum of its third world tour, "ITZY 3RD WORLD TOUR <TUNNEL VISION>," in Manila, the Philippines. The key points commonly confirmed across reports are that ITZY held a solo concert at SM Mall of Asia Arena in Manila on July 11, and that the show marked the group's first return to local fans in about two years since its second world tour, "BORN TO BE," in August 2024.
ITZY has completed its Manila concert and is continuing its world tour schedule. On July 11, the group held a solo concert at SM Mall of Asia Arena in Manila, the Philippines, as part of its third world tour, "ITZY 3RD WORLD TOUR <TUNNEL VISION>." The concert was introduced as ITZY's first solo concert in Manila in about two years since the group's second world tour, "BORN TO BE," in August 2024.
The concert opened with "Focus." ITZY then placed songs including "Motto," released in May this year, along with representative tracks such as "WANNABE," "Not Shy" and "LOCO," bringing the group's activity history together within one stage. Member solo stages, introduced for the first time during this tour, also formed one axis of the concert. Yeji's "Pocket," Lia's "Asylum," Ryujin's "LOOK," Chaeryeong's "Undefined" and Yuna's "Tangerine" were presented as sections that showed each member's individuality in a different way from the group stages.
In the latter part of the show, ITZY performed songs including "GOLD," "Wild Wild West," "Mafia In the morning" and "THAT'S A NO NO." In particular, "THAT'S A NO NO" has recently drawn renewed attention and was mentioned in several reports, and it was reportedly performed again during the encore. However, because the scale and wording of on-site reactions can vary by outlet, it is more appropriate at this stage to focus on the concert structure and officially confirmed comments.
After the concert, the members shared their thoughts for MIDZY, the group's local fandom. According to reports, ITZY said that although it was ITZY standing on stage that day, MIDZY was far cooler, expressing gratitude for the fans' waiting and support. The members also said they hoped to meet again before too long. The audience was introduced as having sent messages to the members through video and paper airplane events.
The Manila concert can be viewed as a schedule that renewed contact with the fandom at the midpoint of the world tour. ITZY is scheduled to continue the tour in Macau on August 15, Taipei on September 5, London on September 11, Amsterdam on September 13, Paris on September 15, Frankfurt on September 17 and Singapore on October 3. In Korea, the group will hold its fifth official fan meeting, "ITZY The 5th Fan Meeting ITZY MIDZY, Fly! 'ALL IN, MIDZY'," at Olympic Hall in Songpa-gu, Seoul, on August 8 and 9.
The information currently confirmed includes the Manila concert's date and venue, the main stage composition, the members' official comments, and the upcoming tour and fan meeting schedule. The longer-term meaning of the concert is expected to become clearer through the remaining tour dates and fan meeting.
