Firsts, as most would say, are always unforgettable. That rings true for fans of Seo In Guk who were present to witness his immense talent during his “First Asia Fan Meeting Tour” at the New Frontier Theater last August 12. Filo Heartriders, as his fans are called, felt even more special since Manila was In Guk’s first stop on his Asian tour.
The South Korean singer-actor has been in the business for 14 years, debuting as a singer before headlining popular K-dramas such as Reply 1997, Doom at Your Service, and Cafe Minamdang.
His international stardom is reflected in the number of fans who flew to Manila to see him. Heartriders from Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, and Australia were there to see their idol, who in turn made sure that his fans’ trip was worth it.

A total performer, In Guk commanded the stage as he performed some of his hit songs, including My Love and the all-time favorite All For You from the Reply 1997 OST. But it was In Guk’s rendition of Yeng Constantino’s Ikaw that garnered major cheers from the crowd. Despite having difficulty with the lyrics, he was able to effectively convey the message of the song with his impassioned performance.
