What happens on the night

PULP describes the night as "heartfelt conversations, exclusive performances, and memorable interactions with the star himself". His agency, Management SOOP, told Korea JoongAng Daily it will be "a special time where the actor talks about his past, present and the future with his fans."

In a handwritten letter to fans, he looked back. "Thanks to all of you who have stayed with me for so long, I found myself naturally looking back on the time that has passed," he wrote, as JoongAng Daily reported. "I hope we can add a new scene to the story we have carried on for so long."

PULP's page names the roles most fans know him for: Coffee Prince, Goblin, Train to Busan and Squid Game.

Ticket prices and the seat plan

The stage sits at one end of the coliseum, with the seats in a horseshoe around it. These are PULP's prices, before ticketing charges, with where each tier sits on the seat plan on PULP's show page.

• VIP A, ₱12,500: the front half of the floor, closest to the stage
• VIP B, ₱11,500: the back half of the floor, up to the control booth
• Patron, ₱10,500: the first ring of seats around the floor, sections 104 to 108 and 113 to 117
• Lower Box, ₱9,500: the 200 sections, 200 to 207 and 216 to 221
• Upper Box A, ₱7,500: the 400 sections facing the stage (400 to 403 and 423), and the inner part of the side sections 404 to 407 and 419 to 422
• Upper Box B, ₱6,000: the outer part of those side sections, 404 to 407 and 419 to 422
• Gen Ad, ₱3,500: the top ring, around the back of the coliseum

Fan benefits by tier

PULP's second seat plan image is a benefits chart. Some benefits go to every holder of that tier ("All"), and some go to raffle winners only ("Raffle").

• Every ticket, Gen Ad to VIP A: a set of 2 photocards and a souvenir show card
• Hi-Bye: VIP A and VIP B, all holders
• Group photo (20 fans to 1): raffle, open to every tier
• Printed signed poster: raffle, every tier except Gen Ad
• Printed signed postcard: raffle, VIP A, VIP B, Patron, Lower Box and Upper Box A

The chart adds: "Complimentary tickets are not eligible for fan benefits." PULP has not said how the raffle is drawn or how winners are told, or how the Hi-Bye runs (checked 5 November 2026).

How to buy

Tickets went on sale on Saturday 19 September 2026 at 12 PM, "via TicketNet outlets and online", in PULP's words. PULP's show page still lists tickets on general sale (checked 5 November 2026), but it does not say which tiers are left. Buy only through TicketNet, the seller named on the seat plan, and be careful with resellers on social media.

Where Manila falls on the tour

The Korea Herald reported the full run: Yokohama on 4 October, Bangkok on 10 October, Jakarta on 17 October, Macau on 7 November, Manila on 21 November and Seoul on 28 November. The paper also noted it is his first Asia fan meeting tour since his debut in 2001.

One early report, in Korea JoongAng Daily in July, printed the Manila date as 2 November. PULP's show page and both seat plan images say 21 November, and that is the date to plan for.
