This will be Jessi’s first concert in Manila.
The organizers have yet to announce the details about the venue and tickets.
Meanwhile, Jessi’s Filipino fans expressed their enthusiasm about the upcoming event despite not yet knowing other relevant details.
“Kidding aside, what projects do you think filo jebbies can do for Jessi’s concert? We for sure wanna make it memorable since it’s her first concert in Manila! Accepting suggestions,” a fan asked.
“See you there, Filo-Jebbies,” tweeted another fan.
Jessi is likewise excited to see her Filipino fans as she posted a message on her Instagram story.
“See you soon, Philippines #ZoomInManila,” she wrote with a heart emoji.
Philippine Concerts, a page dedicated to updates on music events in the country, had been hinting about a possible concert in the country, a few days prior to the official announcement of the event.
The page posted on Sunday, June 25, a photo on Twitter that says “Soon in Manila” along with the date “09.30.2022.”

Jessi made a highly-anticipated comeback last April with a single titled “ZOOM”.
“ZOOM” later on became a viral dance challenge on the micro-video platform Tiktok. The song has 3.8 million Tiktok videos under its belt as of writing.
Check out some of the most popular videos using the hit song:

Jessi, whose full name is Jessica Hyun-ju Ho, debuted as a Korean soloist on December 1, 2005 with the single album called “Get up.” Since then, she has made several hit songs like “NUNU NANA” and “What Type of X.”
The “ZOOM” singer’s popularity grew after participating in a Korean rap competition TV show, “Unpretty Rapstar,” which earned her the title of “ssen unnie” of K-pop which literally translates to “strong sister.”
