How to Go All Out at SM for the BTS Concert of Your Dreams

If you’re ARMY, you already know: when BTS finally lands in Manila, it won’t just be a concert. It’s going to be one big core memory. This is the moment fans have been waiting for, and when it happens, everyone is ready to go all out at SM. Even if the Philippine stop is still more than a year away, fans are surely already planning outfits, makeup looks, and squad meetups. After all, this is your most-loved group, and this concert deserves max-out preparation.

Here’s the secret: you can do all of that in one place. From things to do in SM to hidden mall deals, your favorite SM Supermall is your go-to spot for gala-level concert prep. Think of it as your BTS headquarters! Here’s how to build your perfect concert-ready kit.

Outfit Planning: Comfort Meets K-Pop Style

Let’s start with the most important question: what are you wearing?

At SM, you’ll find everything from basic staples to trendy statement pieces. For a BTS concert, your outfit needs to balance comfort and style because you’ll be standing, dancing, and screaming for hours.

TOPTEN (at SM Mall of Asia) has breathable basic tees and pastel tones that are perfect for staying cool while still looking polished. They’re easy to pair with skirts, cargos, or denim for an effortless K-street vibe.

H&M’s oversized graphic and purple tees bring instant personality and fandom energy. Paired with a denim mini skirt and chunky Chelsea boots, they create a fun, photo-ready Y2K look that’s both stylish and practical.

For footwear, statement sneakers like the Nike LD-1000 in Fuchsia Dream or adidas Gazelle in Bliss Lilac subtly reference BTS’ signature violet. They’re comfortable, meaningful, and perfect for long hours on your feet.

For bags, Doughtnut’s MACAROON MINI in Lavender x Rose and Beyond The Vines’ Metallic Purple Poofy Bag combine function with ARMY-approved flair. They fit essentials like your phone, wallet, and lightstick while keeping you hands-free.

Concert-Proof Makeup: Glow That Lasts

Your makeup needs to survive heat, tears, and nonstop chanting. Luckily, beauty havens and Watsons inside SM malls have you covered.

Start with cushion foundations and lightweight bases. For concert wear, LANEIGE Neo Cushion Matte (available in LOOK and SM Beauty) stands out for its oil control, SPF protection, and comfortable feel that lasts through hours of dancing and cheering.

Lock everything in with Maybelline Fit Me Setting Spray (available in Watsons), which controls shine and keeps makeup in place even in humid conditions.

For lips, The Face Shop’s Lip Tint Glow in Rosy Violet, Deep Rose, Warm Berry, Soft Coral, or Peachy Pink adds glossy color that lasts through snacks, selfies, and sing-alongs.

Finish with Kiss Me Heroine Make Long & Curl Super Waterproof Mascara (available at LOOK) for smudge-proof lashes that stay lifted all night.

Some SM Malls also have wellness hubs where you can get quick consultations if your skin needs extra care.

Tech Essentials: Never Miss a Fancam

Your phone is your concert lifeline. From fancams to group chats, you’ll be using it nonstop.

Visit SM Cyberzone and gadget stores in malls for power banks, cables, and accessories. The Anker Prime or Anker Zolo 20000mAh Power Banks are ideal for long events, offering fast charging and multiple full recharges.

Drop by Digital Walker, DataBlitz, or Octagon—some of the reliable gadget accessories stores and electronic stores available at SM—to stock up on USB cables and adapters.

Many SM branches also offer free WiFi spots, plus EV charging stations and areas for where to charge electric vehicles, making travel and meetups more convenient.

Fuel Up Before the Fan Chants

Before outfit checks and playlist debates, every ARMY needs good food. Concert planning meals are about bonding, recharging, and building excitement.
