If June saw fewer South Korean artists visiting the Philippines, July is set to make up for it, with several K-pop stars scheduled to perform in the country for their respective concerts.
Kicking off the month-long series of events is boy group EXO, who will stage their "EXO Planet #6 – EXhOrizon" concert at the Mall of Asia Arena on July 4 and 5.
The concert is the act's first full-group concert in the country since their "EXO Planet #5 – The EXplOration" tour in 2019, although the upcoming show will feature only five members: Suho, Chanyeol, D.O., Kai, and Sehun.

Also on July 5, another boy group, iKON, is set to perform at the SMX Convention Center, marking their return to the local concert scene after more than two years.
The show is part of the group's "iKON FOUREVER" tour and features members who have completed their mandatory military service — Jay, Song, Bobby and Chan.
Girl group ITZY is also returning to the country for their “Tunnel Vision” world tour, with its Manila leg set to be held at the Mall of Asia Arena on July 11.
The group, which recently made a comeback with the extended play "Motto," previously performed in the country in December 2024 for a New Year's Eve countdown event in Taguig.
On July 18, Jung Ilhoon, a former member of vocal powerhouse group BTOB, will bring his "1-DAY ART CLASS" fan concert to the SM North EDSA Skydome.
Japanese group XG — who, while not K-pop, are often associated with the genre due to their promotions on South Korean music shows — are also coming back to the country for their "The Core" concert tour.
The septet will hold the Manila leg of the tour at the Mall of Asia Arena on July 22, marking their return to the country in nearly two years.
Filipino FOHA also have something to look forward to, as boy group AHOF — whose lineup includes Filipino idol JL Gaspar — is set to return to Manila.
