BINI is the hottest P-Pop group at the moment. Their songs such as “Pantropiko” and “Salamin, Salamin” took over the Philippines, with fans loving their summer-ready sound and concept.

The group performed live at the Dagupan Bangus Festival in Pangasinan. Hundreds of fans showed up to watch them headline the Coke Studio stage. Though they were expected to perform numerous songs, they ended up cutting their set list short. It was obvious from fan-uploaded pictures and videos that they were feeling uncomfortable throughout their act.

They were also understanding, saying that they knew that stopping the concert was the more difficult decision to make that night.
Aiah was telling people to go down from trees, while you can see #BINI’s concerned faces here. Other artists may have just continued performing but BINI made a tough yet wise decision to stop the event. They are not perfect, they may not meet your expectations, but they do care… pic.twitter.com/UPFbDj0kam

Fans took to social media as well to remind each other to take care of their health. Incidents such as this one, after all, can be “traumatizing for the girls.”
hi blooms, as much as we want to see bini up close pls prioritize your health first and foremost. cant imagine what the girls are feeling seeing people faint nang sunod sunod while they were performing when it’s supposed to a fun event. mag iingat po ang lahat pls 😢
