Kicking off the Manila leg of his "MAGIC MAN 2" world tour at the Smart Araneta Coliseum on Nov. 2, Jackson delivered not only a visually stunning show but also glimpses of his flaws, vulnerability, and artistry.

This marked his first solo headlining concert in the Philippines, following his previous appearances at "K-POP Masterz" in July 2022 and as one of the main headliners at "Head In The Clouds Manila" in December 2022.

The Big Dome shimmered with light sticks and deafening cheers as fans eagerly awaited Jackson's appearance on the center stage. As the lights dimmed, cinematic visuals filled the screen, and Jackson emerged wearing a harness to perform "High Alone."

The crowd sang along and cheered loudly as he followed up with "Access" and "Hate to Love."

Amid the overwhelming cheers and a lively moshpit, Jackson admitted he was unprepared for the audience's reaction.

"Manila, honestly, I have one thing to say. Manila is f*cking crazy. This is insane, bro," Jackson exclaimed.
