November 19, 2022, the day that all of the fans of BrightWin, Dew and Nani the so-called F4 Thailand gathered to witness the performance of these Thai young heartthrobs for their Shooting Star Asia Tour leg.

Rain poured heavily in the mid-afternoon of that day but it didn’t stop the fans (including me) to go to World Trade Center to watch their show. I, even first went to my prior engagement scheduled work and hurried up to the venue to queue for the event. I have seen the full force fan base of these Heartthrobs and I must say that it was huge! Some of them came from provinces and others are from other countries, who flew just to see them. Other than that, saw some known personalities in Twitter who were active to tweet and give some freebies to each and everyone. (P.S. I didn’t receive anything from them. I was shy to approach them actually hehehe). Some parents also accompany their children to watch the show and I was in awe because they were very supportive to them. Not even that, some couples (young and old) went also there. It was nice to see, because that means this guys (esp. bright and win) gave a huge impact to them even to me.

Long queue started to build up going inside the concert hall and it was a sigh of relief when the queue is already moving. I guess because the organizer didn’t expect to be like this…It was already pass 6:30pm when the show started.

When the countdown begins in 10…the fans are screaming wildly already and for sure Bright,Win, Dew and Nani already heard it and excited to see the fans as much as we are! And when the countdown falls at 1, there they are standing proudly in front of the stage singing their first ost of F4 which is Who Am I?. It was a sight to behold seeing them in flesh (well, I was seating far from the stage, but still…) and hearing them singing live! The fans went wild and chanting their biased artist and the F4 word itself while singing together with them.

After that wild and energetic welcome, the Host came and ask them to introduce themselves and greet the fans! One by one they were called and the fans of each one are screaming. I was suprised that Dew have already a big fan base here! Nani too! Well, expect from the famous BrightWin Duo! They have already established a big fan base regardless of Solo or CP. ( And I was one of them!) Even the Host ask them if they know some Tagalog words or if they want to learn some of it. The 4 of them are on game to learn and also they have already knew some Filipino words like “Mahal ko kayo and Mabuhay!”. And the fans response with a laud chanting. I was all the time smiling and laughing with the interactions. Win and Bright mostly are playing to the fans like doing finger heart and a little small wave. ( Got a little bit jealous to VIP and SSVIP area for this hehehe). On the first part, were question and answer portion from random Globe subscriber’s fans and they were very attentive and answered all the questions nicely and consistently. And mind you, they all answered the questions in English! And for me, that was a big effort to communicate with the fans! An A+ for me!

After the first part of Q&A, they started their solo performance. First was Nani, in his song Best Life, an upbeat song that makes the crowd bobbing our heads while enjoying the music. The rap part and a little bit of dancing was good. He looks like a Kpop guy!

Next performer was Dew! He sang his debut song “In the Wind” and I even found out that the song was in English! ( I am sorry Nong Dew, if I didn’t listen at first in your song.) The sweet voice of him was a lullaby to the fans. And even waving the banner while singing. The song was soothing to listen. Indeed, Dew captivated a lot of female fans out there! Even jokingly saying…” My gilfriends” hahaha

2nd to the last performer was Win! And when his face flashes on the screen fans are screaming already! And when the first intro of the song ” That Person Must Be You” hits, fans already started singing together with him. I would say, that when I heard the song, I nearly got teary eyed! It was his first ever song played in his first ever series 2gether… And I must say ( maybe the fans also felt it ) that we were brought back in the time of 2gether the Series. Even the fans, singing loudly and memorized the song that Win himself let the fans singing in behalf of it. The two Aunties beside me, sang their hearts out to the whole song and they really memorized it! The glowing skin of Winnie was stunning, the handsomeness and the charmness of this guy is on a higher level!It was an angelic performance of Win! Kuddos!

And the last performer of the night, none other than Bright himself! Again, the crowd went wild and shouting his name ( even me!). When the crowd heard the few notes,the crowd says.. (aww).Why? Well, he sang his rendition of With A Smile. All of us sang together with him. His vocal is so lit! And yes! He is pulchritudinous! ( Go and check for the meaning of this hehehe)! After his performance, the crowd were chanting for another set of song!

Second part of the show was another Q&A from Twitter. We’ve seen BrightWin moments and never been happy to see this kind of moments in live action! That simple glances from each other makes the happy hearts of Brightwins full! Each fan base prepares a video to thank each of them and saying how happy the fans to welcome them here in Phil. Their reaction was so lit! The reaction of Bright that he was teary eyed because of the over flowing love from Brights, the simple smile of Win that it looks like he’s suppresing his tears seeing the video that pours the enjoyment of Snowballpowers, the shy smile but looks happy of Dew because of his fandom and lastly the suprised and happy face of Nani when he saw the vid prepared by his fans. For the last song, they sang Shooting Star (also a part of OST). They sang it slow and melodious that they poured the love for us fans. It was already the last goodbye song. After that, the Photo Op session has started.

Key take away to the show:

1. I guess, 6 songs are not enough for us fans 😂! We really want more! But we cannot complain on that.

2. Real talk: The media partner / organizer looks like they got money milking in the concert. If only they did more, I guess a lot of fans will be satisfied. Heard after the concert, some of them complains of like this…like that. But we cannot tell what’s the reason of the organizer. Maybe because of the weather? Well, we can’t blame on that either. Hopefully, if ever they will organize again like this may they improve their services. Anyways, thanks to GMM, Rise Media, Globe Telecomm for bringing them here in the Philippines.

3. The boys are so amazing! Each one of them prepared their encore and really did well! I really enjoyed the show (for sure, other fans also). It was an excellent performance! ( Really suprised with Dew and Nani to be honest!)

4. BrightWin Interaction are the best! I guess, action speaks louder than words. And that’s why I noticed to them. And we so love it!

5. I believe that in order to enjoy the show, never use your phone. Hehehe Why? You cannot focus on them watching their performance.Your only focusing how you will capture their performance. And I have noticed that to these two aunties beside me. They didn’t use phone and just enjoying the show. When I asked them, how will you show them to your other fan group, they said they memorized what happened in the concert and will tell to them in details. I was suprised at the same time happy, because that means they keep the memory of the concert not only in the phone but in their mind as well.

5. Good job for the great hosting of Sir MJ. He didn’t left out hanging Nani and Dew all along the interview. (Even though we want more interview of Bright and Win.) And the energy of Sir MJ is lit! Kudos!

All together! The night was captured by four handsome boys! Indeed, a great night for me (and I do hope to other fans as well!). P.S BrightWin the best!BrightWin MagJowa 🥰😂 Ich leibe Sie! See you again!
