“ENHYPEN VR CONCERT: IMMERSION” begins with a mysterious invitation from ENHYPEN to their fans dubbed as ENGENEs. As whispers from the members echo through an unfamiliar hallway, the line between reality and fantasy starts to blur. The audience is then transported into ever-changing spaces: a vast office, an abandoned factory, and a rooftop where a pink moon and red moon coexist coming face-to-face with a whole new side of ENHYPEN never seen before. Moreover, fans can experience ENHYPEN’s visuals and performances vividly brought to life right before their eyes, closer than ever at a 0 cm distance. This VR concert was produced using AMAZE’s cutting-edge technology featuring innovative interactive elements such as a heart effect appearing on screen when the viewer makes a hand-heart gesture, and a branching scene that allows fans to choose one of the seven members and watch the concert from their favorite’s point of view. These new experiential features deliver an unprecedented level of immersion never seen in previous VR concerts.
The VR concert “IMMERSION” is the first-ever VR concert project to simultaneously announce and confirm its release in advance across about 40 major cities worldwide, including Korea, the United States, Japan, China, Southeast Asia, and Europe. Through this, ENHYPEN has once again proven their stature as a global artist. As the largest project of its kind, spanning from North and Central America to Europe, it not only demonstrates ENHYPEN’s explosive global popularity but also highlights the expanding global distribution network and technological excellence of AMAZE making this achievement all the more significant. “ENHYPEN VR CONCERT: IMMERSION” brings together AMAZE’s proprietary technologies including ultra-high-definition 12K live-action filming, Unreal Engine-based VFX, and AI super-resolution to deliver a level of immersion and emotion beyond that of any previous VR concert. Viewers will feel as if they are standing right in front of a real stage, fully experiencing ENHYPEN’s performance and emotional depth in the most vivid way possible.

G Productions, founded by celebrity couple Matteo Guidicelli and Sarah Geronimo-Guidicelli, recently celebrated its third year anniversary with a renewed commitment to purpose. Now three years strong, the company is proving that its stage goes beyond entertainment, shining a spotlight on causes that matter: literacy, cancer care, and sustainability. For Matteo and Sarah, G Productions has always been more than a creative venture. The Philippines' Popstar Princess shares, “From the beginning, we wanted our work to inspire. This year, we also want it to make a tangible impact.” That impact took shape in a week-long celebration called the G Love Anniversary, held last October 4-11, 2025 where every event ties back to a bigger cause.
The festivities kicked off with the Green Market (October 4–5), a weekend fair that encourages eco-conscious living and sustainable choices. Last October 7, G Productions partnered with World Vision for a Special Workshop for Child Leaders, highlighting the importance of empowering the next generation with values-based leadership and advocacy training. Later, G Productions partnered with Khan Academy (October 9) to equip students with both tablets and access to digital learning modules — pushing forward the advocacy of literacy and lifelong learning. Last October 11, the spotlight shifted to children battling cancer and chronic illness with a charity basketball game hosted in partnership with Kythe Foundation and Half Court Group and in collaboration with Hoopbus.ph that brought together athletes, artists, and advocates for kids who need support the most. Matteo adds, “Entertainment has power, but advocacy gives it meaning. This year, we want our anniversary to be a reminder that every story we tell and every stage we build should serve a greater purpose.”
With advocacy-centered gatherings, workshops, and sports activities also lined up, the G Love Anniversary is as much about community as it is about celebration. It reflects the couple’s belief that milestones are best marked by giving back, and that true growth happens when creativity meets compassion. As G Productions enters its third year, Matteo and Sarah remain committed to building a company that amplifies Filipino creativity, while ensuring that the causes closest to their hearts continue to move forward.

P-pop boy group Yes My Love breathes new life into the OPM favorite “Don Romantiko” with its fresh sound and modern romance flair. The single, originally performed by Vhong Navarro, marks the group’s first release under Star Music. It captures the perspective of a person who embraces love in its purest form — prioritizing genuine affection over superficial qualities. Christian Martinez composed the track while Jeremy G led the production of the new rendition.
Dubbed as the vocal heartstoppers of P-Pop, Yes My Love made their debut in 2023 consisting of members Niko, RZ, Joshua, Brian, and Jeff. They released their first single “Rhythm” which earned more than 300,000 streams and was featured in Spotify’s P-Pop On The Rise playlist. In 2024, they launched their first extended play (EP) “You, Me, & Love” featuring the track “Laging Naroon Ka” which has amassed over 1.8 million streams on Spotify. Last February, the group dropped “Coffee Date” as their Valentine’s music offering.
