After a long drought in K-pop concerts, us Filipino fans now face a flood. How’s the bank account holding up? If you haven’t completely depleted your concert funds yet, here are some of the K-pop shows you can still catch in 2022. But make sure you also leave some for next year’s shows (hello, Blackpink!) and shows from local artists (hello, SB19!).
Check our handy guide below.
