BTS’ J-Hope Manila stop on his HOPE ON THE STAGE tour already had fans crying in the club — but then Im Siwan pulled up and everything went crazy! The two-night event, held April 12–13 at the SM Mall of Asia Arena, made history as the first BTS solo concert in the Philippines since 2017. And just when the hype couldn’t get any higher, Siwan appeared totally unannounced. Talk about a star cameo!

After the show, J-Hope took things to Instagram, calling Siwan “the best” after his appearance. Quickly, their backstage moment became viral on social media, especially because Im Siwan started as an idol in ZE:A before turning his efforts to the South Korean acting world.
