Wearing class-uniform-inspired outfits, Vinci, Kim, Kyler, Reyster, Winston, Jeromy, and Marcus—members of the South Korea-based, all-Filipino boy group Hori7on—took the stage at the SM Mall of Asia Arena on Sunday, Nov. 3, for their Daytour: Anchor High concert.
The seven-member group returned to Manila for their second concert in the city, marking their first anniversary since debuting in 2023. Bringing a unique blend of Filipino charm and K-pop energy, Hori7on opened the show with their rendition of The Boyfriends’ Sumayaw, Sumunod, greeted by cheers from Anchors, the group’s fanbase. They followed up with performances of Lovey, Dovey, and How You Feel.
Vinci, the group’s leader, then spoke on behalf of Hori7on about a new chapter, signaling the end of their youthful era.
“New performances, new sides of Hori7on. We’re so excited to show you, guys. It’s all here at Daytour: Anchor High. We hope that you’re still on your feet because we’re going to show you something very special tonight,” he said.

True to his words, the group introduced one of their newest tracks, Cold, written by Vinci and Marcus, describing it as a song exploring a relationship growing distant.
Each member treated fans to solo performances, starting with Kim, who sang YK by Cean Jr. Kyler followed, serenading fans with I Think They Call This Love by Elliot James while handing out red roses. Winston then took the spotlight with his rendition of Justin Bieber’s Off My Face.
Maknae Marcus showcased his versatility with Rainism by Rain, while Vinci won over fans with his version of Harry Styles’ Falling. Reyster revealed his vocal skills beyond rapping with Die With A Smile by Bruno Mars and Lady Gaga, while Jeromy displayed his dance talents with high-energy performances of Hiphop and BTS’ Butter, joined by fellow maknaes Marcus and Winston.
The members then reunited to introduce their second new song, 2Cool 2Care, written by Marcus, which marked a departure from their previous music style.
