The special treat was made possible by Roh Hyun Tae, Universal Records’ Managing Director Kathleen Dy-Go along with Geong Seong Han, president and CEO of SBTown.

TAN debuted with the mini-album “1TAN” in March 2022, featuring the single “DU DU DU” and released the first anniversary album “Essege” in March this year. 

Joining forces with Universal Records, one of the most renowned labels in the music industry, is a remarkable milestone for TAN. 

TAN held a promo tour in the Philippines last year. 

They said, “We were able to do a short tour in Manila. We went to Luneta Park, Intramuros, Manila Cathedral, and MOA Seaside. We loved Intramuros and would like to come back to take more photos!”

The members said they “would like to visit more places that we haven’t visited before, so we’re open to suggestions from SODA [fans]. We want to try riding jeepneys and eating local street foods.”

TAN said they would love to collaborate with Filipino boy band PLUUS. 

“Our member Jaejun wrote 2 songs for them for their debut album and we would also like to perform with them someday,” they said. 

According to TAN, during their Manila visit, “We tried halo-halo, crispy pata, lechon, and dried mangoes! We also tried Jollibee and we loved it. We want to eat more Filipino foods when we come back.”

For Filipino SODAs, they said, “Filipino SODA have always had the loudest cheers and we are so excited to hear them again! We miss SODA so much so we came back as soon as we could. We are preparing special surprises for SODA and we can’t wait to share it with you all!” — Jonathan Hicap
