K-pop boy band EXO will be bringing their first solo concert tour to the Philippines, SM Entertainment confirms.

While no definite date has been given, a source told Bulletin Entertainment that the group may bring their “EXO From. EXOPlanet #1 – The Lost Planet” tour here in August.

The band kicked off the series of concerts in Seoul on May 23 to 25 with an estimated 40,000 fans present.

Suho, leader of subunit EXO-K, said the experience was quite nerve-wracking.

“This is our first solo concert and we know we have kept a lot of fans waiting… We are still nervous,” he told the Korea Herald.

EXO-M’s Lay added, “It was such a great feeling for us to hear that our concerts were sold out, I thank all of our dedicated fans.”

EXO is also scheduled to perform in Hong Kong on June 1 and 2, China on June 14 and 28 and Taiwan on July 11.

They will also visit Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, and Japan, according to Korean media.

At their press conference on May 25, some members talked about Kris, who will be not take part in the concert after he sued SM Entertainment to nullify his exclusive contract.

Lay said that they “were all very shocked by the news.”

He added, “It happened so suddenly and one week before our show, so we were all very flustered and heartbroken, but we will overcome this together.”

Baekhyun, for his part, said, “Personally I just wanted to say how proud I am of our members. Despite all that has happened, we will not compromise these concerts.”
