There is no doubt that K-pop sensation ENHYPEN truly cares for their Filipino ENGENEs, their dedicated supporters.

The fandom name is a wordplay on "engine" and "gene." According to the K-pop superstars, fans are like the engines that help them grow and keep going, while also being ENHYPEN’s "gene," sharing the same DNA to connect, discover, and grow together.

True to their words, ENHYPEN showed their appreciation by doing their very own "idol" projects, similar to the fan projects their supporters usually create to show their love for the idols.

In the first half of the program, ENHYPEN member Jay led an oath with the fans, highlighting how this pledge is their tribute for the unwavering support of Filipinos during their Fate World Tour in 2024.

“This is the first concert of the year with ENGENE in the Philippines, so the energy that you gave us last year pushed us to practice for today. So, we prepared something to show our result,” Jay said.

Holding some Paradoxxx Invasion leaflets, Jay started the oath.

"ENGENE, repeat after me: 1. ENGENE love ENHYPEN, ENHYPEN love ENGENE. 2. We are inseparable, we will love forever. Promise? ENGENE promise?” he continued.

Jay went on before performing "Paradoxxx Invasion" along with the whole group, “Okay if you’re with us make some noise!”

Before the encore, or the additional performances given at the end of the concert, ENHYPEN showed some hand banners that collectively conveyed a message to their beloved ENGENEs.

It started with former figure skater-turned-idol Sunghoon holding up the incomplete sentence, “Our dream of seeing ENGENE again,” followed by Sunoo’s “came true today.”

Notable dancing machine Ni-ki followed with “Now that ENHYPEN and ENGENE are together,” and Jake added, “The night is even more perfect.”

Fan-known as the 'ace' or well-rounded member, Heeseung shared through his banner, “We’ll never forget all the time we spent together.”

ENHYPEN’s leader, Jungwon, made the fans think with his banner that read, “ENGENE, remember what we told you?”

This was immediately answered with Jay’s "This is the Philippines, I’ll remember," a direct homage to his statement during their Fate Tour at the New Clark City Stadium last year.

It was Jay’s reaction to the sea of orange flower fans project that their Filipino supporters prepared during their 2024 concert in Tarlac, a tribute to one of their hits, "Orange Flower."

But it’s not just that—this year, Jay updated his line to another version: “I remember the last show. I’ll remember you this year, how much you love us.”

After the heartwarming gesture, the seven-member idol supergroup went onstage once again before riding their train-themed moving carts, used by K-pop idols to quickly travel around the venue and interact with fans. There, they sang "Polaroid Love" and got up close once again with the entire stadium.

As the members bid their final goodbye onstage and left after the encore, the audience was once again surprised by a VTR onscreen titled in Filipino: "Mensahe ng Pagmamahal para sa ENGENE."

Heeseung started the kilig-filled video by saying, “In-love na ‘ko sa ENGENE.”

Jake followed by sharing how much their supporters mean to him.

“ENGENE, ikaw ang lahat sa’kin,” Jake said.

Ni-ki expressed how their Filipino fans are great, “The best kayo, ENGENE.”

Sunghoon shared how thankful he is ending with a finger heart gesture at the end.

“Ang swerte ko dahil nandiyan ang ENGENE,” he mentioned.

Jay once again assured their Filipino ENGENEs that he will always be there for them, “Nandito ako palagi para sa inyo.”

Meanwhile, Jungwon emphasized how the fans complete his days.

“Hindi masaya ang araw ko kapag wala ang ENGENE,” Jungwon revealed.

Sunoo ended the video by saying, “Mamahalin kita habambuhay, ENGENE, mahal ko kayo.”

The members also shared inspiring and caring words with the audience throughout the concert.

One of the most memorable moments of the night was Jake’s emotional closing "ment," or the segment where the idols speak directly to the crowd. In it, Jake wished their beloved ENGENEs genuine happiness amid life’s challenges and triumphs.

“I want you guys to always feel happy in life. I feel like there’s a lot of ups and downs but I assure you that it’s part of life,” Jake assured their supporters.

He continued, emphasizing that not only him, but all seven of them, will always be there.

I want you guys to always be happy. We, the seven of us, are going to be there for you always. Thank you, Mahal kita," Jake expressed.

Meanwhile, the Filipino ENGENEs made sure to show their support for ENHYPEN with their own fan projects at this year’s concert.

The specially made acts included bat-shaped hand banners, which were a reference to ENHYPEN’s vampire-themed videos and projects. There were also Highway of Love flaglets, raised during their Highway 1009 production number.

Despite not being part of the official Walk The Line World Tour setlist, the fan-favorite song "Shout Out" still made its way into the concert, with the crowd singing it as the idols prepared for their encore.

And of course, it wouldn’t be complete without the OT7 Buses, where some buses featured special wraps with members' photos. These were also used as a service for fans traveling to the venue.

In the meantime, some ENHYPEN members took to the South Korean platform weverse their message after the concert.

In a translated message, Jungwon expressed: “Thank u Philippines”.

Sunghoon also shared how the experience made him happy.

“Thank you ENGENE!! I’m so happy!” he said.

Jake shared a charming photo of himself with a caption featuring five hearts, while Sunoo posted some backstage pictures showing the beautiful orange sky before the concert began.

In his post, Jay then seemed to promise the Filipino ENGENEs that they would "reunite again."

Jay wrote: “Thanks, Philippines! See you again! Mahal kita.”
