"Thanks to my friends in Manila, this journey has been truly heartwarming. Everyone welcomed me with bright smiles and joyful hearts, and I'm deeply grateful for that. You were with me six years ago, you are with me now, and you've always been there. Wishing you peace and blessings until we meet again. God bless you all!" Park Bo-gum posted on Instagram.

Neither rain nor flood could stop Filipino fans from seeing Park Bo-gum, star of the series “Good Boy” and “When Life Gives You Tangerines,” at his “Be With You” fan meeting tour in Manila held at the SM Mall of Asia Arena last Aug. 22.

Fans were amazed by the actor’s sweet gestures, including going to the audience area to be up close with them.

Park Bo-gum opened the fan meeting by performing “Hello,” a song originally released by Park Hye-kyung in 2003 and covered by Red Velvet member Joy in 2021. He also sang “Fine,” “I Will Be Here,” “Through the Night,” and “Ikaw Lang” by Nobita.
