Word of the second iteration of the K-Pop Masterz concert comes shortly after the original concert took place on July 29 at the SM Mall Of Asia Arena in metro Manila. That rendition saw a line-up that featured GOT7 members Jackson Wang and BamBam, as well as YG Entertainment labelmates TREASURE.

These hints of upcoming additions to the roster of live K-pop shows in Manila are the latest in a string of concerts announced to be arriving in the Filipino capital city in the coming months. SUPER JUNIOR are set to take over the SM Mall Of Asia Arena tomorrow (August 6) for their ‘Super Show 9’ tour, while GOT7 member Yugyeom will be holding a show at the New Frontier Theatre on August 19.

Other K-pop concerts announced for September also include (G)I-DLE, Jessi as well as Tomorrow X Together. SEVENTEEN will also be arriving in Manila as part of the Asia leg of their ‘Be The Sun’ world tour in October, however tickets for that show have been sold out.
