The setlist featured songs such as “Floral Sense,” “It Has To Be You,” “Beautiful,” “Scented Things,” and others.

The mentioned occasion signifies the 39-year-old singer’s comeback to Manila after a hiatus of six months. 

His last appearance was during Super Junior’s fan party at the Smart Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City in July 2023.  Manila serves as Yesung’s inaugural destination in 2024 for his “Unfading Sense” tour.

The concert tour commenced in Seoul in October 2023 and subsequently traveled to various Asian cities, including Jakarta, Taipei, Nagoya, Osaka, Bangkok, and Tokyo. 

The concluding performance is set to take place in Macau on the upcoming Saturday, January 13.

Yesung initiated his career as an idol in 2005 alongside his Super Junior peers. In 2016, he ventured into solo activities with the release of his extended play titled “Here I Am.”

During his performance, Yesung admitted that he prefers happy and rhythmical songs over mellow and sad ones. He also mentioned that his eyesight is not clear, so he wore eyeglasses to see the song lyrics on the teleprompter.

Yesung also mentioned that he wishes there could be only one language throughout the world.

“Every time I come to other countries, there are some Korean jokes you guys don’t get. And then I realized, I hope I can speak Tagalog,” he said.  “How I wish there’s only one language in the world… It’s a bit frustrating, isn’t it?”

Yesung also noticed something about the Filipino audience. He expressed that he would have liked to make eye-to-eye contact with them, but he observed that many people were looking at their cellphones while he was performing. 

This means that their attention was focused on their phones while recording him, instead of everyone looking directly at him. “You’re not looking at my eyes, you’re just looking at your phones… How can I make eye contact with you, all of you are busy taking videos?” he jokingly said. 

Yesung looks forward to returning, both as a solo artist and alongside his fellow group members.

He said, “When our last album came out, I was actually persuading my members. I hope we can see one another again in our next ‘Super Show.’ Please continue to support me, not only me but also my fellow members, so we can come back again.”

In the final segment of the performance, Yesung performed “Together,” a song specially dedicated to his pets.

Well, we can say that Yesung is a certified pet lover. He mentioned that he tried to spend bonding time with his pets during Christmas and New Year. Yesung also revealed that when he was in his 20s, he didn’t drink alcohol and didn’t go on dates with women. He considered himself a loner, and the reason he mentioned was for anti-aging purposes.

At the conclusion of his performance, he expressed gratitude to all the audience and fans who attended his concert, stating that without them, the mentioned tour wouldn’t have been possible. He promised to continue what he has started because of their support.
