Host Kring Kim welcomed the fans to ‘PENSHOPPE Chanyeol Fanmeeting in Manila’ and joined him on stage for the segment ‘Keeping Up with Chanyeol’ where the fans get to receive a life update from the Cherry Prince!
The highlights of this segment you must know is that his strong connection to the Philippines started ages ago when he was in the middle school. According to Chanyeol, the Philippines is the first country he visited to study English 20 years ago. That time, he was able to visit various places in PH such as Pagsanjan Falls and even tried to ride horse up to the mountain! He mentioned also that we wants to bring home dried mango and banana to Korea.
Fast Talk with Chanyeol
The next segment is the famous ‘Fast Talk’ wherein Chanyeol must pick his choice between a two options right away. The singer-rapper chose pop over hiphop, speakers over headphones, classic neutral looks over baggy party looks, denim over linen fabric, beaches over cities (in the Philippines), and ‘Mahal ko kayo.’ over ‘Miss ko kayo.’
Don’t Mess Up My Tempo!
To play this game, Chanyeol must guess correctly the featured song by its moves and were it was originally choreographed to. Yeolmaes surely had fun when Chanyeol show off some sample dance moves to the songs ‘Growl,’ ‘Love Shot,’ and ‘MAMA’
After showing off his playful personality, Chanyeol serenade his fans by his first solo single ‘SSFW’ and his 2021 classic song ‘Tomorrow’
“Maybe tomorrow, I’ll wait you.”
Chanyeol is finally singing his solo song ‘Tomorrow’! ✨
