Lee Changsub’s “Wayfarer” Concert in Manila: A Night of Music, Laughter, and Unforgettable Memories March 22 will forever be etched in the hearts of Filipino Melodies (Lee Changsub’s fandom) as the day the multi-talented BTOB vocalist brought his first solo concert, Wayfarer, to Manila.

Held at the SM North EDSA Skydome and presented by LSquared Productions, the concert was a delightful mix of Changsub’s soulful voice, hilarious antics, and heartwarming interactions with his fans. The night kicked off with Changsub greeting the crowd in Tagalog, saying, “Kumusta kayo?” (How are you?), and melting hearts as he shared, “Namiss ko kayo!” (I missed you guys!). The crowd erupted in cheers, proving that Changsub’s charm knows no language barriers.

True to the concert’s theme, Wayfarer (meaning traveler), Changsub shared his dream of exploring the world and visiting many cities. The setlist was a perfect reflection of this journey, starting with the upbeat “Chivalry” and the dreamy “Golden Hour.” Each song felt like a stop on a musical road trip, with Changsub’s powerful vocals guiding the way. Highlights of the night included fan favorites like “Saturday Night,” “Stay,” and “Old Town,” which had the crowd swaying and singing along. Changsub also performed “Vain Hope” and “I Guess I Loved You,” showcasing his emotional depth and ability to connect with the audience.

But it wasn’t all serious—Changsub also treated fans to a hilarious skit that had everyone laughing out loud. His playful personality shone through, reminding everyone why he’s not just a talented singer but also a natural entertainer. He also performed covers of “Only Then” by Roy Kim and “Refuge” by PSY, songs he previously shared on his YouTube channel. These renditions were met with thunderous applause, proving that Changsub can make any song his own.

One of the most electrifying moments of the night was when Changsub performed “Bump Bump,” a happy and energetic track that got everyone hyped. The crowd loved it so much that they chanted for an encore, and Changsub happily obliged, proving he’s as much a fan of his fans as they are of him. Other standout performances included “New Wave,” “As Always,” “33,” and “Macchiato,” each song adding a unique flavor to the concert.

But perhaps, the most touching moment was when the fans sang “Shelter” for Changsub, a heartfelt gesture that left him visibly moved. The night ended on a high note with “Cheers to the Youth,” a fitting finale that left everyone feeling nostalgic yet hopeful. Changsub’s gratitude and love for his fans were palpable, and the feeling was mutual—Filipino Melodies left the Skydome with hearts full of joy and memories to last a lifetime.

As the lights dimmed and the echoes of “Cheers to the Youth” lingered in the air, one thing was clear: Lee Changsub’s Wayfarer concert wasn’t just a show—it was a celebration of music, laughter, and the unbreakable bond between an artist and his fans.

So, until next time, Changsub! Manila will always be ready to welcome you with open arms, loud cheers, and maybe even more requests for “Bump Bump” encores. After all, as your Filipino Melodies would say, “Salamat, Changsub! We love you to the moon and back!” 

Cheers to the youth, cheers to Changsub, and cheers to many more musical journeys together!
