IU bringing world tour to the Philippines

MANILA, Philippines — Korean singer-actress IU is bringing her "H.E.R." world tour to the Philippines this June, marking her return to the country in nearly five years.

She last visited the Philippines when she brought her last tour, "Love, Poem," around Asia in 2019.

That concert held in Araneta Coliseum on December 19 that year lasted for four hours, which made IU describe the performance "feeling like a festival."

The tour will begin with back-to-back weekends in Seoul, South Korea in March. After which, she will head to Japan, Taiwan, Singapore, Indonesia and Hong Kong — all of them two-night concerts.

IU's one-night performance in the Philippines will be on June 1 in the Philippine Arena.
