On a rainy Friday night, fans braved the weather to celebrate Lee Hi’s birthday during her Seoulite Showcase in Manila performance last September 23.

Pinoy “HiceCreams” (Lee Hi’s fandom name) surprised the K-pop star with a “pink party” — complete with banners, party hats, and a pink dress code.

Lee Hi showcased her vocal prowess as she performed some songs from her album Seoulite like “Breathe,” “Official,” and “Hold My Hand.” She wowed the crowd with her rapping on songs like “Up All Night,” “Video,” “Special,” and “World Tour.”

Lee Hi also entertained the crowd with songs from her debut album such as “Rose,” “Fool for Love,” “1, 2, 3, 4,” “Hold My Hand,” and “My Star.”

To her fans’ surprise, Lee Hi performed “FXXK WIT US,” mentioning she hasn’t performed it anywhere else in her Seoulite Showcase Tour in Asia. She also gave goosebumps-worthy renditions of “Bust The Window” and “Mercy” which she originally sang during her KPop Star days.

HiceCreams showed their outpouring love for Lee Hi by singing along to every song as if they’re so used to speaking in Korean. Language may have been a barrier but Lee Hi’s interpreter allowed her to connect with her fans on a personal level.
