K-pop superstar and Girls Generation's member Kim Taeyeon took the stage at the Mall of Asia on March 29, 2025, for the Manila stop of her THE TENSE concert, celebrating her 10th solo debut anniversary, leaving PH S♡NEs breathless with her vocals, visuals, and exceptional stage production.

She opened the show with ‘Fabulous,’ looking like an ethereal goddess. She also performed her hit songs I, INVU, To. X, and tracks from her recent album ‘Letter To Myself.
Each performance was crafted to perfection- from the concert title, poster mood, fragrance, Taenggeu storytelling, confetti design, and more by the singer herself.

And of course, no concert will be memorable without successful fan projects!
PH S♡NEs went all out, preparing:
1. Pink cloth wave during Weekend, Stress, Why, and Baram X3
2. Butterfly Garden tribute during Ending Credits
3. Roll-down banner surprise during Curtain Call (which touched Taeyeon the most!)
4. A serenade of 11:11
During the show, Taeyeon expressed her love for the fans' efforts, including the egg-shaped hand banners. “It’s so touching. Thank you so much. I really love all these love messages.”
