The Boys & I

Chapter 17: SMTOWN Live in Manila

While waiting for my first Korean drama to air, I made myself busy preparing for SMTown Live Concert in Manila. There would be solo, duet, and group performances. I was nervous but excited at the same time because it’s been more than two years since I’d been in Manila and I suddenly missed my dad.

Three days before the scheduled concert date, we had already arrived. We proceeded to the hotel where we will be staying for few days. Few hours after we arrived, we had a press conference in the afternoon with entertainment reporters from print and multimedia. Then on the evening of that same day, each batch had 9 members who visited respective radio stations in order to promote our concert.
