I arrived around 5 PM to register and get my media ID. I am shooting for KDramaDiary for this concert and this is my second K-pop concert for September.

Jessi is a South Korean-American rapper and entertainer based in Korea who debuted in 2005 and is know for her singles "Nunu Nuna" and "Don't Touch Me".

It was a Friday night and traffic was really bad, the event started at 8 PM instead of 7 PM.  The fans patiently waited for the event to start and as expected Jessi didn't disappoint the Filipino fans with his opening performance of "What Type of X" then followed by "Don't Touch Me".

Jessi was very emotional during the concert seeing her Filipino fans and hearing their loud cheers for her. As a professional, she continued to dominate the stage with her hits "Put It On Ya", "Ganji" and "Dumb".

The queen continued with her song "Arrived" followed by "Boing" and "Gucci"

Filipino dancers A-TEAM also impressed Jessi with their dance moves as they joined Jessi on stage when she performed "Drip".

Jessi changed her outfit then after a short break, photos of a young Jessi and her family was shown in the big screen then she performed 'Star' as she became emotional while singing.


Jessi also performed her hits "Cold Blooded", "ZOOM" and "Nunu Nuna".

Jessi photo-op with the crowd.


Also saw Ateneo Women's Basketball team member Katrina Guytingco and Sportscaster Ayie Tinsay who attended the concert.

Unfortunately, I left the venue and didn't finish the concert due to work conflict. It was a fun concert even though it was my first time watching Jessi and I did enjoy her music plus the vibes from the crowd. It was also nice seeing friends from the media and meeting new ones who are also into K-pop.

Big thanks to Neuwave Events and Productions for letting us cover their event.

Jessi also left a comment in my Instagram post and event shared and mentioned me in her Instagram story.
