South Korean singer-actress and member of the global K-pop sensation Blackpink, Jisoo, launched her first solo fan meeting tour, Lights, Love, Action!, in Manila last weekend.
On Friday, March 14, The Big Dome was filled with excitement and cheers as fans—known as Blinks—greeted the 30-year-old star with thunderous applause, just as she had urged them to do in a pre-show video.
“Don’t hold back. Cheer as loud as you want! Forget about the people next to you and let your energy flow,” Jisoo told the audience in the clip.
Well, true enough, as the Filipino Blinks didn’t hold back and screamed as loud as they could, proving that they were the best fans in the world.
She opened her show with “earthquake,” the lead single from her debut EP Amortage.
After her opening act, Jisoo admitted that she was feeling nervous performing in front of her fans.
Unlike the fierce, confident persona she often embodies as part of the girl group Blackpink, Jisoo’s solo fan meeting allowed her to show a more playful and candid side.
During the “Lights” segment—a Q&A portion—she charmed the audience with her quick wit and humor. Throughout the Q&A, she instinctively turned her microphone toward the audience, inviting them to join in the conversation.
In the “Love” segment, Jisoo showcased her creative side, decorating an acrylic frame featuring her Amortage CD and photocard. Taking cues from the audience, she carefully placed stickers and badges before gifting the finished piece, along with a signed Polaroid, to a lucky fan.
The segment also showcased Jisoo’s growing identity as a solo artist. With the help of her backup dancers, she delivered dynamic performances of Amortage tracks.
During the one-night show in Manila, fans got to see her perform some of her songs including “earthquake,” “Your Love,” “Tears,” and “Hugs & Kisses.”
Much to the delight of her supporters, she capped off the main show with her viral debut solo hit, “Flower,” making its own debut on the Manila stage.
For the encore, Jisoo took her performance beyond the stage, stepping down into the floor area as she sang “All Eyes On Me” and a reprise of “earthquake,” tossing small heart-shaped balls to fans along the way.
Reflecting on her time in Manila, Jisoo shared her joy in finally holding a solo fan meeting in the country.
