SNSD’s Concert in Philippines
Although SNSD did two world tours for their concerts, the Philippines was never included as a country where they performed. However, we found out that SNSD did visit the Philippines to perform at a charity concert entitled Dream Kpop Fantasy Concert. The event was held on 11 January 2013 and took place at Mall of Asia Open Grounds. Not only featuring SNSD, other Korean idol groups were also included as the performers, such as INFINITE, EXO, U-KISS, TASTY, and Tahiti. The event was brought by KMH Entertainment and the tickets were divided into six categories: Bronze for PHP 1,000 in which the ticket holders would stand on the outer pit section, Silver for PHP 3,000 in which the ticket holders would stand on the outer pit section, Gold for PHP 6,000 in which the ticket holders would stand on the outer pit section, VIP PLatinum for PHP 0,000 in which the ticket holders would stand on the outer pit section, VIP Diamond for PHP 11,000 in which the ticket holders would seat on the elevated platform seating, and Super VIP for PHP 11,000 in which the ticket holders would stand in the pit section. The audience could buy the tickets via the official website of SM Tickets, Ticketnet, and Ticketworld.
SNSD’s Concert Schedule in 2017
Unfortunately, SNSD never did have any concerts scheduled in 2017, as they only released their sixth full album Holiday Night for their 10th year anniversary. In addition, the departure of Tiffany, Sooyoung, and Seohyun from SNSD’s home agency SM Entertainment after they decided to not renew the contract, also played a role. However, there may be a chance for SNSD to have a concert in the future because it was reported that the fans somewhat met Sooyoung’s mother on one occasion, in which she told the fans that SNSD may release another album in the next two years. As of now, SNSD members are having individual schedules while still keeping in touch with each other. The most recent one is when all the eight girls gathered and greeted the fans by uploading group pictures on 31 January 2018. Hopefully, when SNSD’s reunion happens, another concert tour will occur so the fans will have something to look forward to!
