Ellen Adarna gave fans a glimpse of what many called a once-in-a-lifetime experience after attending the Philippine leg of F Forever 1st World Tour and getting a memorable interaction with Taiwanese star Jerry Yan.
Held at the Philippine Arena on Saturday, June 27, the highly anticipated concert brought together iconic F4 members Jerry Yan, Vic Chou, and Van Ness Wu, alongside Ashin of Mayday.
Thousands of Filipino fans flocked to the venue, proving that the Meteor Garden phenomenon remains deeply loved decades after the hit series became a massive cultural sensation in the Philippines in the early 2000s.
Among those in attendance was Ellen, who documented her excitement from the moment she prepared for the concert. On Instagram, she shared snaps of herself dressed for the occasion, sporting thigh-high boots paired with a black shirt and leather jacket as she geared up for the long-awaited event.
While heading to the venue, the actress also shared photos with friends, proudly carrying their fan merchandise ahead of the show.
Once inside the arena, Ellen fully embraced her fangirl mode. Together with her friends, she enjoyed the concert from seats positioned right in front of the stage, singing along, waving her lightstick, and vibing to the performances.
But the highlight of the night came when F4 and Ashin stepped down from the stage to greet fans directly.
In one of the evening’s luckiest fan encounters, Ellen had eye-to-eye contact with Jerry before getting the chance to hold his hand, a moment she later proudly posted online.
Clearly overwhelmed with excitement, Ellen did not hold back her reaction as she fully embraced the surreal experience.
In another video, the actress jokingly asked her friend to confirm what had just happened.
“Okay sabihin mo na yung totoo na may nangyari sa amin ni Jerry,” Ellen said, sending her friends into laughter.
She continued jokingly, “Sabihin mo yung totoo....may moment kami ng bebe ko.”
In another Instagram Story, Van Ness Wu was seen pointing toward Ellen’s section before expressing “Mahal Kita.”
Ellen captioned the moment: “Yes ako yun,” while audibly giggling from excitement.
Netizens quickly flooded social media, teasing Ellen over her unforgettable interaction with Jerry and joking that fate may have stepped in that night.
“baka kayo talaga para sa isat isa ikaw si shan cai🤪😅 oh baby baby baby🎶 @maria.elena.adarna kilig much,” one commented.
“Tapos ang plot twist siya pala ang ending game mo sissy @maria.elena.adarna sisigaw ako malala. Sa video na to palang parang dina ko makatulog eh😂,” another commented.
“Parang natulala pa si Jerry sayo madam hahaha," one netizen added.
Throughout the concert, F4 and Ashin treated fans to beloved classics including “Can’t Lose You,” “Can’t Help Falling In Love,” “Di Yi Shi Jian,” and “Meteor Rain,” among others.
Aside from Ellen, fellow celebrities including Michele Gumabao and Melai Cantiveros were also spotted enjoying the nostalgic concert, sharing their own kilig-filled moments from the long-awaited reunion show.
