The OGs were undeniably on fire the whole time, but Park Bom missed a few songs on Day 1 and had to leave the stage due to a 'wardrobe malfunction.' The same thing happened on Day 2, but this time, CL explained that Bom wasn't feeling well since the first night of the concert. CL then encouraged the crowd to sing Bom's parts, and, of course, they happily obliged.

The 'Pambansang Krung Krung' (national goofball) became emotional on day one of the concert, as the Pinoy crowd sang 'Happy Birthday' to her.
