Prepare your hearts, Filipino EXO-Ls as your favorite South Korean boy group is set to dominate the Philippine stage again.

Concert promoter PULP Live World announced on its social media accounts on Tuesday, July 9, that EXO will be coming back to Manila on August 24, as part of their “EXO Planet #5 – EXplOration” concert series.

Further details regarding the show have yet to be revealed but PULP said tickets will be available on August 4 starting 12 noon at SM Tickets outlets nationwide and online via www.smtickets.com.

The group will be performing at the Mall of Asia Arena where MBC Music’s “Show Champion” was held on October 2018. EXO was part of it along with Weki Meki, MXM, The Boyz, and Xeno-T, among others.

Prior to this, the popular K-pop stars also performed at the same venue for their concert, “EXO Planet #4 – ElyXiOn,” which was attended by thousands of their Pinoy fans, including Kapamilya actress Anne Curtis.

“Wow. That was awesome. Grabe. Almost 3 hours of non-stop dancing and salute EXO!

That concert was fire! I was blown away!” Anne previously tweeted following the concert.

EXO, known for their songs such as “Growl,” “Call Me Baby,” “Ko Ko Bop,” “The Eve,” “Love Shot,” and more, currently has nine members namely Xiumin, Suho, Baekhyun, Lay, Chanyeol, D.O., Chen, Kai, and Sehun. Debuted in 2012, the group originally consisted of 12 members.

Unfortunately, Xiumin and D.O., the group’s vocalists, won’t be able to participate in “EXO Planet #5 — EXplOration” as the former enlisted for mandatory military service in May, while the latter enlisted in the army on July 1.
