Kyuhyun’s ‘COLORS’ 10th Anniversary Tour Captivates Manila

The ‘Kyuhyun 10th Anniversary Asia Tour [COLORS]’ in Manila was a night built on connection and heartfelt music. As Kyuhyun stepped onto the stage, the atmosphere at the New Frontier Theater shifted — quiet anticipation gave way to deep emotion.

He opened the show with “Restart,” a ballad that immediately set the tone. His voice carried through the venue with clarity and warmth, drawing tears from fans who had waited years to hear him live again.

From there, the energy changed with tracks like “Together” from his 2021 mini album Love Story. The lighting and stage visuals matched the mood of each song, making every moment feel thoughtful and well-paced.

The crowd sang with him during “Journey” and “Last Poem,” responding to the emotional highs with full voices and raised light sticks. Songs like “Confession is Not Flashy” and “Still Our Love Continue” brought out another wave of emotion, especially for fans who knew them from K-Dramas. Kyuhyun welcomed the audience into these songs, encouraging everyone to sing along and be part of the night.

He made sure to connect with his Filipino fans, sprinkling in Tagalog phrases that drew cheers and laughter. One of the most memorable moments was a duet with Moira Dela Torre on “A Million Pieces.” Their performance was followed by an emotional rendition of Moira’s “Paubaya,” showing both artists at their most vulnerable.

Kyuhyun also surprised fans by sharing his appreciation for Moira’s music and her accurate Korean pronunciation, revealing her love for K-Dramas. It was a moment that highlighted the natural crossover between Filipino and Korean fan cultures.

Later, Kyuhyun shifted into a stripped-down acoustic set, letting his voice take center stage. He followed this with an energetic dance performance, showing his versatility. A fan project segment lit up the theater with coordinated banners and lights, a touching tribute from the audience.

The concert looked back on Kyuhyun’s solo career, with a medley of fan favorites. A special highlight came when he performed Super Junior hits “Sorry, Sorry, Sorry,” “Devil,” and “Super Clap,” triggering cheers and shared nostalgia across the venue.

Setlist highlights included:

• Nights With You
• Time With You
• Flying, Deep in the Night
• Universe
• Bring It On
• Sorry, Sorry, Sorry + Devil + Super Clap
• Horizon
• Unending Days
• The Story Behind
• Dreaming
• At Gwanghamun
• One Spring Day

One of the most personal moments came during “Time With You” when Kyuhyun left the stage to walk through the aisles. Fans were visibly moved. Seeing him up close — not as a distant figure on stage but as the artist whose music had been with them through the years — made the moment unforgettable.

When he left the stage ahead of the encore, fans filled the venue with an impromptu chorus of “At Gwanghamun.” It was raw, honest, and moving.

Kyuhyun returned with gratitude and promised he would be back — either as a solo artist again or with Super Junior for their 20th anniversary. His words were simple, but they left a mark.

This Manila stop wasn’t just another tour leg. It was a well-organized concert that prioritized fan experience over spectacle. L-Squared Productions balanced production and emotion, giving Filipino fans a night that felt meaningful and shared.
