Filo MIDZYs’ plate has been full this 2023. First, ITZY kicked off the 2023 Philippine concert scene with their two-day concert in Manila back in January. And just a few months later, the girls are back, this time for their biggest fanmeet in the country yet. Thanks to Bench, thousands of Pinoy MIDZYs got to meet their fave K-pop girl group in person at the MOA Arena. Robi Domingo hosted a night that was filled with games, activities, performances, and other fun surprises. While ITZY’s overnight stay in the country was admittedly short, they still made sure to make the most out of the moment. Here are just some fanmeet moments that made for an amazing reunion with ITZY.

Even though the fanmeet was a day before her actual birthday, Ryujin still got treated to a nice surprise. Bench prepared a cake for her as Filo MIDZYs sang her Happy Birthday in Korean, causing the K-pop idol to get emotional.

Never did we imagine we would see Robi Domingo and Ryujin dancing WANNABE together. But here we are. Okay Mingyu’s best friend, you better work those shoulders.
YUNA WITH THIS FANBOY
@aruaree bro is so lucky he got to dance wannabe with Yuna, and Yuna asked him his name after 😩 #wannabewithbench #benchxitzy #itzy #fyp ♬ original sound – iz (리 자) saw enha thrice! 😭🧡
The way everyone was looking at Yuna, but she was only looking at the fan, that’s a core-memory moment right there.
CHAERYEONG WORKING SMART
Chaeryeong collected all members sign for her tshirt design 😂🤣😂🤣

Such a creative one😂#WannaBeWithBENCH#BENCHxITZYpic.twitter.com/IBJD8qjtRb
Chaeryeong’s mind was working on overdrive when she got the signature of each member on her custom shirt she was going to give away. Just like that, the shirt’s value went through the roof.

Seeing ITZY sing their biggest hits in Tagalog felt surreal but in a good way. Hindi mahiyan, hindi ako.

Even though they only had an overnight stay in Manila, ITZY still found the time to go shopping as they were spotted checking out the clothes at the Bench store in BGC. Lia picking out a shirt that had the Jollibee mascot on it felt so correct.
