On March 5, hundreds of IDs had their hearts go BTBT as they got to meet B.I up-close with his concert in Manila, the latest stop on his 2023 LOL The Hidden Stage Tour. It’s been less than a year since B.I was last in the country for an event, yet the K-pop star is back once more to entertain his fans. Whether it be a fanmeet or a concert, his fans will always be ready to show him love. And being the man that he is, B.I was more than willing to return the love with his signature stage presence. Here are just some of the memorable highlights from the night.
SURPRISE PERFORMANCE WITH JAMES REID

At this point, James Reid may have an honorary K-pop idol card in his wallet with how many times he’s performed alongside them. B.I became the latest one when the K-pop star brought out James as his special guest, much to the crowd’s shock and joy. FYI, the two are actually friends and share the same US label, so this link-up is not that big of a surprise. But still, it feels surreal seeing B.I and James share the same stage.

PH -ID’s surprised Hanbin with a selfcomposed song and MV and man it was the most precious thing ever! HE WAS SO TOUCHED! Fave part of tonight!#BI_LOLTheHiddenStageinMNL #HANBIN #BI #비아이 pic.twitter.com/ETtQ0q3v9V
Given the musical master that he is, Hanbin also attracts fans who also know a thing or two about making music. And that was on display when Pinoy IDs surprised him with a self-composed song and music video that touched the musician. Nothing but love for Hanbin with the dedication fans put into the special project.

We’ll give it up to this fan for saving not being able to do a hand-heart with B.I. Not everyone can say that they friend-zoned Kim Hanbin.
A CROWD HANBIN DESERVES
Fucking one and only! Hanbin went down and the crowd went wild

A hyped crowd for Hanbin? It feels correct. The crowd got so wild that at one point, Hanbin had to wait for them to settle down before he could roam the aisles.

How does it feel to be living our dreams? We’re never going to wash our hair ever again if that happened to us.
UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL
Hanbin went down the stage during soundcheck and interviewed some Filo IDs! WAAAAAAAHHHHH SO POGI @shxx131bi131 @BI_131official @Threeanglespro @CharismaBIph #TheHiddenStageMNLReveal#BI_LOLTheHiddenStageinMNL pic.twitter.com/ou4HKDDXSG

What would you do if you got up close and personal with B.I. For one ID, it was a moment to heap praise on a star when he went down to the crowd to interview fans. But can we also talk about that ‘fit though? He pulls off those glasses and scarf.

This image of B.I being surrounded by fans with their phones up while he’s holding his meme needs to be in a museum.
