#FangirlGigs: Tiffany Young saves the best for last in heartfelt fan concert for Filo Young Ones

Published Jul 30, 2025 2:45 am

SNSD's Tiffany Young and Filipino Young Ones have finally reunited after five years.

Despite last weekend's gloomy weather, SONEs and Young Ones—some coming all dressed in pink outfits—gathered at SM Aura Premier for Tiffany's Here For You fan concert, presented by L-Squared Productions. 

As the clock struck 6 p.m., Tiffany opened the stage singing SNSD's (or Girls' Generation) Light Up The Sky, glowing in her fairy-like lime green dress.

During the "Kind Tiffany Young" segment, the K-pop idol connected more with her fans. Lucky Young Ones picked from the raffle got the chance to have a one-of-a-kind moment with Tiffany through games like “Stay Away from the Camera," and "Bamboo Pit," a game similar to bowling, where they have to hit Bamboos with respective points they have to accumulate to win. 

In one of the dares where she had to confess her love to Young Ones, she gave her ring to the one lucky fan as a gift, before saying "Saranghae" or I love you.

Others were able to have solo selfies with her after winning games. 

Filo SONEs thrilled for SNSD's possible world tour 

During the fan concert, a fan shouted, "Girls' Generation world tour!" to which Tiffany responded, "I’m always ready for a great time."

“I am seeing them next week, so I will ask them. As you all know, I’m part of Girls’ Generation, but I’m not part of SM,” she added. Tiffany left SM Entertainment in 2017 and is now signed under a new agency, Sublime Artist Agency.

The group never had a solo concert in the country, but they last visited the Philippines in 2013 during the Dream K-Pop Fantasy concert and in 2015 for the Best of Best KPOP concert. Their last world tour was in 2015 for Phantasia, but it did not include a stop in Manila.

Tiffany and Filo fans danced and sang along to SNSD's songs, like Party, Forever 1, and the ballad version of the group's debut song, Into The New World.

The K-pop idol also channeled her thespian side, performing All That Jazz from the musical Chicago. ICYDK, she played the part of Roxie Hart in the Korean production of the musical. 

The night was made more special as Filipino Young Ones surprised Tiffany with a fan-made video expressing their love, and celebrated her birthday (Aug. 1) and SNSD's anniversary (Aug. 5) in advance.

The Philippines was the last stop for her solo fan concert. Nearing the end of the show, Tiffany reflected on how the Here For You concert "changed" her.

"I'm so much brighter, thanks to you. At 36, she's looking real bright," she said with a laugh. 

She also promised a new song for her fans. "Music is just always a part of me, of us, and I'm thankful...As long as there's a stage, as long as there's you, guys, I am always going to try and come back and be here for you," she told the crowd. 

"Whether you started listening to my music this year, or 2007, whether you listened in TTS (SNSD's sub-unit, consisting Taeyon, Tiffany, and Seohyun) in 2012, whether you listened to me in 2016, whether you came to see me on stage for a musical, whether you saw me on TV series, it doesn't matter; I'm just really, really grateful that you're here," she continued.

Now grown-up fans who came to see the idol shared how they have followed Tiffany and SNSD since they were around 11 to 12 years old—the fan concert was a moment of healing their inner children. Girls' Generation debuted in 2007 and released hit songs Gee, Genie, Oh!, Run Devil Run, and more.

"It really is special to have a song for 18 years and have so much meaning in every country," the girl group member told the crowd.

Tiffany made a promise to her Filipino fans, too: her next visit would not take another five years. She was last in the country for her Open Hearts Eve Part Two fan meet in January 2020.

"This whole Here for You fan concert tour, I feel like I owe you music. Watching and being here for you, I know you guys have so much to say, and I'm always watching, so I promise I won't take five years [to visit]," she said.
