Several South Korean stars are set to visit the Philippines in November for concerts and fan meetings, from actors affectionately dubbed “ahjussi” by fans — a Korean term used to address middle-aged men — to musicians spanning a wide range of genres.

Kicking off the month of “K-events” is actor Lee Je-hoon, who will return to the country on November 7 for his “Our 20th Moment” fan meeting tour.

The event will be held at the World Trade Center Tent in Pasay, marking the 42-year-old actor’s reunion with his Filipino supporters following his 2023 fan meeting.

The multi-awarded actor is is known for starring in dramas such as “Taxi Driver,” “Move to Heaven” and “Where Stars Land.”

Also on November 7, Sandara Park is set to appear at a brand-organized event at the SM Mall of Asia Music Hall alongside singer-actor James Reid and P-pop girl group YGIG.

K-pop star Yves, who performed in Manila last year, is also set to return for a solo concert.

The singer, whose real name is Ha Soo-young, will bring her 2026 tour to the Filinvest Tent in Alabang, Muntinlupa on November 9.

Yves debuted as a member of the girl group Loona but has since pursued a solo career following the group’s hiatus, embracing a sound heavily influenced by electronic music.

Meanwhile, ENHYPEN members Jungwon, Jake and Sunghoon are coming back to the country for an event hosted by a tech brand they endorse.

The three, who last visited the country with their bandmates in October, are scheduled to appear at the brand’s event at the SM Mall of Asia Music Hall on November 12.

Korean indie rock favorites wave to earth are set to return to the Mall of Asia Arena on November 15 for their “the pieces” tour.

The band, which recently released its album “bad pieces,” previously performed at the same venue in February 2025.

Gong Yoo is set to bring his “The Long Take” fan meeting to Manila on November 21.

The 47-year-old actor has captivated audiences with his performances in hit series such as “Coffee Prince,” “Goblin” and “Squid Game,” as well as films including “Silenced” and “Train to Busan.”

Also on November 21, rapper and singer Lee Minhyuk, best known as a member of K-pop boy band BTOB, is set to bring his “Heat Max” concert to the SM North EDSA Skydome.

Minhyuk, who also performs under the stage name Huta as a solo artist, previously visited the country in 2024 with his fellow BTOB members for the group’s “Our Dream” fan concert tour.

Capping off the month is boy band Pentagon, which will bring its 10th anniversary concert tour to Manila, marking its first performance in the country since 2022. The venue has yet to be announced as of writing.
