K-pop girl group Kiss of Life (KIOF) launched the Asia leg of their world tour, KISS ROAD, on 4 April, with an exciting performance at the UP Theater. 

This marked the start of their much-anticipated return to Asia after a successful European tour that spanned 13 cities. 

The European leg included performances in Milan, Zurich, Utrecht, Berlin, Vienna, Esch-sur-Alzette, Munich, Hamburg, London, Glasgow, Paris, Madrid, and Lisbon. 

KIOF also made stops in North America last November, with shows in major cities like New York, Atlanta, Houston, and Dallas, further expanding their global reach.

The Manila concert was an unforgettable experience for fans, as KIOF kicked off their set with the high-energy track “Get Loud.” 

The explosive opening song immediately set an electrifying atmosphere, which was felt throughout the entire performance. 

Following the powerful introduction, KIOF treated the audience to their hit song “Igloo.”

A highlight of the show was the solo performances by each member, showcasing their talents and versatility. 

Belle began the solo segment with “Countdown,” a song highlighting her exceptional vocal range and solidified her reputation as a vocal powerhouse. 

The crowd was thrilled by Julie’s performance of “Kitty Cat,” a sultry and energetic number that showcased her stage presence and ability to captivate the audience. 

Next up was Haneul, who delighted the crowd with her playful and youthful performance of “Play Love Games.” 

As she interacted with the audience and roamed around the venue, Haneul brought an extra layer of warmth and connection to the performance, making it an intimate experience for the fans. 

Natty closed out the solo segment with “Sugarcoat,” delivering a soulful and emotionally charged performance that left the audience in awe of her talent.

The second half of the concert saw KIOF unveil their unreleased track, “Wine House,” a treat for fans eager to hear new material. 

The group also included their infectious hit single “Sticky,” a track that brought the heat to the stage and got the crowd dancing and singing along. 

The show ended with the emotionally charged ballad “Says It,” a song from their self-titled EP that resonated deeply with the audience, marking a powerful end to an unforgettable night.

Following the Manila performance, KIOF continued their tour with a stop in Bangkok on 6 April.
