Your Guide to the 2025 EXO “Tingi Era” Concerts
Calling all Filo EXO-Ls! Our favorite boys continue to take the stage—one by one—as they bring their solo tours to the Philippines. Here’s your complete guide to the 2025 EXO “tingi era” concerts!
Origins
Fans of K-pop boy group EXO have affectionately dubbed the members’ series of solo concerts as the “tingi era.” They coined this phrase from the word “tingi,” which means “purchasing items in small quantities.” Another, more playful reason behind the joke is that it contradicts the group’s slogan, “We Are One, We Are EXO!”
The EXO “tingi era” concerts began gaining momentum in 2024, when members Baekhyun, Suho, and D.O. embarked on their solo shows in the Philippines. Baekhyun brought his “Lonsdaleite” tour to the Araneta Coliseum in April. Suho followed with his “Welcome to SU:HOME” tour in June, and D.O. finished the lineup with his “Bloom” tour in August.
And in 2025, the setup continues! But which members are coming here?
