Filipino fans of BTS, SEVENTEEN, TOMORROW X TOGETHER, ENHYPEN, and BOYNEXTDOOR, as well as P-pop groups VXON and AZTER, came together to experience the immersive K-pop experience at the Vision Festa in Manila.
Attending the launch of the first virtual reality concert and interactive exhibit presented by local concert promoter L-Squared Productions PH, VXON shared with PUSH ABS-CBN their reactions to watching the K-pop acts perform virtually from a front-row perspective.
“Kami po kasi nanonood po kami ng mga K-pop eprformances din talaga para mainsipire kami sa mga performances, energy, and magandang ipakita on stage. For this experience, mas nakita namin yung virtual reality talaga. Parang nandoon kami sa front seat talaga,” VXON member Franz said.
He added that seeing the K-pop acts perform through the VR experience inspired the group to bring something new to their own performances.
“Noong nakita namin yung ganoong set up at experience, mas nainspire kami. Ako, gusto ko may iba namang ipakita sa next performances ko,” he said.
VXON member C13 echoed the sentiment, noting that the exhibit also gave Filipino fans the opportunity to experience The Fact Music Awards and see photos and clips from the ceremony despite just being in the Philippines.
“Nakakatuwa lang din kasi hindi pa nagkakaroon ng The Fact Music Award show sa Philippines and hindi lahat nabibigyan ng opportunity na makawatch ng K-pop performance closer, so we are grateful na magkaroon ng chance yung Filipino audience na makapanood ng mga ganoong performances (through VR experience) and nakikita niyo nga na may mga red carpet pa rito and sobrang fun noong experience,” he said.
For P-pop group AZTER, it was the immersive VR experience that made the exhibit especially exciting.
“We wanted to see the VR experience. Ayon yung pinaka nagpapaexcite sa amin kasi we get to see our idols ‘virtually’ through VR experience,” the group said.
Vision Festa and L-Squared Productions PH officially launched the 2026 VISION FESTA: DIVE INTO THE STARS Manila leg on September 1.
The immersive exhibit features VR performances from THE FACT MUSIC AWARDS (TMA) featuring K-pop groups BTS, SEVENTEEN, TOMORROW X TOGETHER, ENHYPEN, and BOYNEXTDOOR.
Fans can also explore photo-worthy spaces such as the Red Carpet and Photo Zone, special experience areas, artist photos and videos at the Present Box Tree, exclusive visual content at the Exhibition Hall, and fan merchandise at the Gift Shop.
The Manila leg of Vision Festa is located at Gateway Mall 2, Level 3, in Araneta City, Quezon City and will run until October 31, 2026.
Tickets are available through the TicketNet website or ticket booth near the entrance of the exhibit.

According to ABS-CBN News, Director for Sales and Partnership MJ Tarroza said the attraction sets itself apart by combining digital and in-person elements into one entertainment experience.
“Vision Festa does not just bring one experience. We combined the VR reality of the show experience, kasama ang exhibit,” he said. “So, there’s a tour happening. There’s a show happening all in one activity.”
