Look back and indulge at ‘A Sweet Experience’ BENCH Fun Meet with ENHYPEN!
Just months after their FATE World Tour, ENHYPEN returns to the Philippines for their fan meeting called ‘A Sweet Experience’ BENCH Fun Meet with ENHYPEN.
The BENCH fan meeting was held at the SM Mall of Asia Arena, on May 28, 2024. This wasn’t the first time ENHYPEN performed at the said venue since they held their first concert, ‘MANIFESTO’ last February 3 to 5, 2023.
Prior to their fan meeting, ENHYPEN had a press conference the day prior to their fan meeting to answer some questions from different media outlets regarding the event.
Though it has been a while since ENHYPEN last visited here in the Philippines but the crowd’s cheers and screams surely proved that no matter the distance and the last time they saw ENHYPEN, their love and support never faded. Of course, ENHYPEN also feel the same way whenever they visit the Philippines, feeling the warm love and welcome from ENGENEs.
For those who are wondering what happened during the fan meeting, here is a run down at the ‘A Sweet Experience’ BENCH Fun Meet with ENHYPEN:
The fan meeting was hosted by Sam Oh
Sam Oh is a television host who is also known for hosting Korean events in the Philippines. Since she is a Korean who is also a Pinoy at heart, she was able to interact both with a Korean group and a Filipino audience.
Bonus! Before ENHYPEN entered the stage, ENGENEs were given a moment to shine on their own when ENHYPEN songs were being played and their faces were flashed on the screen as they danced.
Full-blown opening act
For their opening performance, ENHYPEN performed their song, ParadoXXX Invasion which sent everyone screaming and cheering for their return to the Philippines. Since the fan meeting is by BENCH, they were wearing BENCH clothes.
Fun games and cute interactions!
It’s not a fan meeting without getting to know the artists more with TMIs, games, and interactions.
In the first segment: ‘Iconic ENHYPEN Moments,’ funny and memorable clips from ENHYPEN’s variety show, EN O’CLOCK were shown and the members got to share what they felt or remembered in those clips shown.
In the second segment called ‘Guess That Choreo,’ the members were divided into sub-units and they had to dance to one of their songs with no music and ENGENEs had to guess the song.
The third segment is called ‘Mixed Up’ which is a pun on ENHYPEN’s song of the same name. The members had to spot the difference between the two pictures and their competitiveness showed which entertained ENGENEs.
The last segment, ‘Twinning Aegyo,’ this segment was very interactive since the members had to search for ENGENEs in the crowd who wore the same shirts as them. And when the camera spots a fan with the same shirt, both an ENGENE and an ENHYPEN member will pose at the LED screen.
Surprise video for ENHYPEN
Of course, it’s not a fan meeting without fans preparing a special video for their favorite group. ENGENEs were able to prepare a video for ENHYPEN saying thank you, welcoming them back to the Philippines, and showing their dance covers to the song, Sweet Venom.
And lastly, ENGENEs sang Polaroid Love to ENHYPEN which the group loved and appreciated.
Photo-op with BENCH CEO, Ben Chan, and ENGENEs
There’s nothing better than remembering a moment when you take pictures!
CEO of BENCH, Ben Chan was present during the event and came up to the stage with ENHYPEN for a photo-op. Next, the members of ENHYPEN could never forget their ENEGENEs so they were the ones to take a photo last.
A sweet ending performance
For their last performance, ENHYPEN performed Sweet Venom, to officially close the ‘A Sweet Experience’ fan meeting.
ENHYPEN might have only performed two songs for this fan meeting, but like always, they gave their all and ENGENEs were cheering as loud as they could to show their love and support.
With the event that only lasted an hour, new memories were made, and it only became sweeter thanks to the love and support ENGENEs have for ENHYPEN. The members of ENHYPEN were even saying they’ll see Pinoy ENGENEs again, soon before they officially waved goodbye to the crowd.
