Click Play: The Social Media Festival

Click Play Fest is an event that brought popular YouTube and social media sensations Ryan Higa, Ki Hong Lee, Cimorelli, David Choi, and Sam & Colby on stage for live interviews and performances on the 22nd of November 2015 at the SMX Convention Center, Mall of Asia.

Watching YouTube videos from various YouTubers were one of my pastimes and one of them is the well-known Ryan Higa, the reason why I attended the said event. Ryan is known for making comedic vlogs and short films in his channel NIGAHIGA with over 19 million subscribers and 3 billion views. He started posting YouTube videos with his best friend Sean Fujiyoshi of lip-syncing to songs in mid-2006. One of their most hit videos was How To Be A Gangster that gained millions of views. Most of the videos in his channel were solo efforts and usually a collaborations with other YouTubers. On 2012, Ryan has put together a production company, Ryan Higa Production Company (RHPC), which is formed by Sean and some of his closest friends.

Come Nov 22, I commuted the same way I did when I went to the concert and arrived around 3PM, an hour before the event started. When I entered at the SMX Convention, I actually didn’t know where to go and luckily, there was a signage beside the door that says “VIP” on it and I just automatically went in there. Once I was in, the first step that we must do is to sign-in into a booth where they gave us freebies. The giveaways includes an I.D where we must write our name and even our username in our social media accounts additional to this is the official poster of the event with the signatures of the featured guests. After signing up in the booth, I immediately went straight to the line where the VIP Clickers are queued. Some Clickers were lucky enough to be chosen with a Meet-and-Greet with the artists (oh how I wish I was one of them). While waiting in the line, I was texting ate Kim, my barkada’s sister who was also attending the event but unfortunately we’re not on the same position as she bought a regular ticket and I was on the VIP lane and just decided to meet after the program. On the other, I made an acquaintance and was relieved that I met Nikki, one of Ryan’s supporter like me and at the same time, she doesn’t have anyone who will accompany her so we agreed to just stick together the entire show. We chitchatted a lot while waiting in the line and turns out she was an alumna in UST and was an AB student who graduated in 2014, turns out we were in the same building before but ended up meeting at SMX.

While being absorbed in our chat, we didn’t notice that the staffs were already letting us in. When we entered the hall, the smell of the pizza from the food stalls greeted us temptingly. But it didn’t budge us to go straight at the front as fast as possible to be able to catch sight of Ryan as near as we can. While filling up the hall with more Clickers, Nikki and I can feel the excitement as we were about to meet RHPC in person whom we were just watching from the screen before.

The event started past 4PM (because, again, Filipino time never fails to be present at times like this) and comes the host to welcome us and introduce the performers. Sam & Colby almost missed their flight, but they came to Manila with their silly antics and good vibes and started the show with their wacky stunts and dance moves on stage. These Sam Golbach and Colby Brock started out as just two band camp boys from California and have since gained popularity on Vine. Known for their mischievous antics on camera, they dance, play charades, and sample Filipino food on-stage. Both of them dared to try exotic Filipino delicacies like kwek-kwek, sampaloc, and our very own balut to the audience’s surprise, these two actually loved it!

Next to perform were the Cimorelli sisters who sang their hearts out all the way from the U.S ti their hit song entitled, “You’re Worth It” that seem to embody every little girl’s dream, with lyrics devoted to hope, love, and happiness. The six-sister band with nearly 900 million views and over 4 million subscribers on YouTube, gave their fans a make-over while being blindfolded.

The third artist who’s stepping up on the stage got us so thrilled when actor Ki Hong Lee showed up. Ki Hong is a Korean-American actor who was one of the casts in the movie Maze Runner where he portrayed the character of Minho. He is a recurring actor on YouTube channel Wong Fu Productions' short films like "Take It Slow", where he played an awkward teenager attending his first prom, "This Is How We Never Met" and "She Has A Boyfriend", one with over 7 million views to date. Unlike the first two performers where they sing and dance, his stage was set-upped for a Q&A and live interview. The questions was all about him in the acting industry wherein he talked about his relationship with his fellow actors in Maze Runner. He also opened up about his ecstatic marriage life where he is married to his wife Choi Ha Young who was also with him at that time waiting for him at the back stage. Meeting an international celebrity up close was beyond amazing as I was in awe the entire time while watching the live interview. His stage ended up where he played Box Of Lies which a game that originated from The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. wherein a lucky fan got a chance to play with him and took a selfie afterwards with all the Clickers behind him that he later on posted on his official Instagram account.

Singer-songwriter David Choi returned to Manila to serenade us with his soothing voice. Fame found Choi after posting his first music video on YouTube, entitled A Love Song. It received an overwhelming half-a-million views in just a week. He takes the stage with several of his most popular songs “Missing Piece”, “Can’t Take This Away”, and “That Girl”. One lucky girl nearly cried when David personally asked her to join him on the stage for the last song.

Finally, it is now Ryan Higa’s turn who received the loudest screams of the night. Cheeky as always, Ryan Higa came on stage and uttered a “Hello,” to the tune of Adele’s eponymous comeback single, following it up with his trademark sign-off, “Teehee.”  As it was his first time in Manila and wasn’t aware of his massive popularity, he spent his first minute on stage calming us lamps down (’lamps’ is what he named for his supporters instead of fans), He was overwhelmed and said “You guys are crazy, I can’t hear myself now, I’ve lost my hearing,” , to which the host responded, “I see you’ve met Manila” which made us scream louder to our excitement. Ryan Higa is one of the biggest stars to come from a video-sharing website. Joining Ryan Higa on stage was two from RHPC, Sean Fujiyoshi and Derrick Dereleek including David Choi, dancing to a mash-up of his popular songs Nice Guys and Skrillex to name a few that ended the show. Apparently, Ryan’s stage felt so short that all of us were so ‘bitin’.

Overall, I had a lot of fun and it was an another ecstatic experience for me to be able to meet one of my favorite social media celebrities live and not just pixels on screens anymore.
