BTOB’s Lee Minhyuk (HUTA) to Hold ‘HEAT MAX’ Solo Concert in Manila This November

Filipino Melody will welcome Lee Minhyuk back to the Philippines as the BTOB member prepares to hold a solo concert in Manila this November.

The South Korean singer and rapper, who also performs under the solo stage name HUTA, will headline the 2026 Lee Minhyuk (HUTA) Concert “HEAT MAX” in Manila on November 21, 2026. The show is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. at the SM North EDSA Skydome in Quezon City.

Show Biz Town Inc., the presenter of the event, announced the concert through its official social media pages on September 11. The company confirmed the concert’s title, date, time and venue in its initial announcement.

Ticket prices, seat plans, ticket-selling dates and fan benefits have not been announced as of writing. Fans are advised to wait for additional information from Show Biz Town Inc. and purchase tickets only through official and authorized channels once sales begin.

The upcoming event will mark Minhyuk’s return to the Philippines following BTOB’s “Our Dream” fan concert in Manila. The group performed at the SM Mall of Asia Arena on April 7, 2024, as part of its fan concert tour.

ABOUT BTOB’S MINHYUK

Minhyuk appeared at the 2024 Manila event alongside fellow BTOB members Seo Eunkwang, Im Hyunsik and Peniel. The concert featured group performances and interactions with Filipino Melody. The Manila stop was part of a tour that also brought BTOB to other cities across Asia.

The “HEAT MAX” concert will place the focus on Minhyuk’s music and activities as HUTA. Although he is widely known as a member of BTOB, Minhyuk has also built an extensive catalog as a solo artist.

Minhyuk debuted with BTOB in 2012. The group was originally introduced as a seven-member act and became recognized for its vocal performances and songs that cover different genres, including ballads, pop and dance music.

Over the years, BTOB released several well-known songs, including “Missing You,” “Only One for Me,” “Beautiful Pain,” “It’s Okay” and “The Song.” The group celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2022 with the release of its third studio album, “Be Together.”

Aside from participating in BTOB’s activities, Minhyuk has contributed to music as a songwriter and composer. He has been credited on songs released by the group and has taken an active role in creating his own solo material.

Before formally launching his Korean solo career, Minhyuk used the name HUTA during his earlier activities as a rapper. He later carried the name into his official solo releases, establishing a separate identity for his individual projects.

In 2018, Minhyuk made his solo debut in Japan with the mini-album “Summer Diary.” The five-track release marked one of his earliest official projects outside his work with BTOB.

He made his Korean solo debut in January 2019 with his first full-length album, “HUTAZONE.” The album contained 11 tracks and was led by “YA.” Minhyuk participated in writing and composing the songs included in the project.

“HUTAZONE” also featured collaborations with other artists, including BTOB member Yook Sungjae and (G)I-DLE member Soyeon. Following the album’s release, Minhyuk held his first solo concerts, titled “HUTAZONE: Two Night,” in Seoul in February 2019.

After completing his mandatory military service, Minhyuk resumed his activities as a member of BTOB and as a solo artist. In November 2021, he released the digital single “Good Night.”

His second full-length solo album, “BOOM,” followed in June 2022. The project was led by a title track of the same name and contained 12 songs. Minhyuk once again participated in the creative process behind the album, including its songwriting and production.

In 2023, Minhyuk and the other BTOB members departed Cube Entertainment following the expiration of their contracts with the company. BTOB Company was established in 2024 to manage the group’s activities, as well as the individual activities of Minhyuk, Eunkwang, Hyunsik and Peniel.

Minhyuk returned with new solo music in July 2025 through the release of the EP “HOOK.” The project marked his first solo album since “BOOM” and featured “Bora” as its lead single. He participated in writing and composing all the songs on the record.

In addition to music, Minhyuk has worked in television, radio and acting. His credits include appearances in dramas and entertainment programs. He also served as a host of “BTOB’s Kiss the Radio” and received the DJ of the Year award at the 2022 KBS Entertainment Awards.

The forthcoming “HEAT MAX” concert adds another Manila engagement to Minhyuk’s career and brings him back to the country more than two years after BTOB’s 2024 fan concert.
