The Smart Araneta Coliseum was absolutely electric on November 2. If you were there for Jackson Wang’s “Magic Man 2” World Tour, you know it wasn’t just a concert. It felt more like a huge party, a movie, and a heartfelt talk with a friend, all rolled into one.

​And the biggest feeling of the night? Gratitude.

From the moment he floated onto the stage for “High Alone,” Jackson brought incredible energy. But it was the crowd’s response that seemed to hit him the most. He was so moved by the Filipino fans’ energy that he just had to stop and say thank you, over and over.

“I’m just one artist out of millions of artist,” he shared, his voice sounding truly humble. “I’m blessed that I can have this opportunity to share my story. That’s why I kept saying thank you, thank you, for coming here, giving the time and effort to listen to my story.”

He didn’t just perform for the crowd; he performed with them with  the emotional tribute to his parents, he let his fans in.

He also shared a powerful message that everyone could relate to. He encouraged the crowd to “live the magic” by just being themselves.

“Feeling not okay is okay,” he declared, and it really clicked with the audience. “Why the f*** do we have to feel okay all the time? Whatever happened to you, good and bad, that made you who you are today.”

He wasn’t just a superstar on a stage; he felt like a real person sharing a real message, hoping it could be a “deem of light” for anyone having a hard time.
After the show, he was still buzzing from the night.

He posted online, “#Manila 📍 was insane. Now i know what’s Manila vibe. Thanks for the lesson… See you all next time 💥 Thank you. Salama po 🥲”

By the time the concert ended with a massive rave, one thing was clear: the love was mutual. Fans left the show feeling like they hadn’t just seen a great performance, they had shared a real moment with an artist who was just as thankful for them as they were for him.

The event was made possible by iMe Philippines, the official local promoter, in partnership with TEAM WANG records, Jackson Wang’s personal brand founded by the artist himself.
