Yves Is Bringing Her ‘A Little of BOTH’ Photo Exhibition to Manila
Last Updated on October 20, 2026 by Don Werner Salas
Yves has a Manila stop lined up before her next EP arrives, and this one isn’t a concert. The South Korean singer is bringing A Little of BOTH — photographs & notes by Yves to Pocket Makati from October 23 to November 9, 2026.
The pop-up puts her photography in the spotlight. Visitors can see images she has taken and leave a handwritten message for the artist. It’s a more personal way to connect with her work beyond the songs.
Manila is one of five Asian cities hosting the project. The dates also lead into a new double single, a full EP release and Yves’ November concert in the Philippines.

A Closer Look At Yves Through Her Photography
At the centre of the pop-up are photos Yves captured herself. The announcement doesn’t give a detailed list of the images or describe the display layout. Instead, its focus is the artist’s interest in documenting what she sees outside her music career.
Fans also get the chance to write back. Visitors can leave a handwritten note for Yves, turning the exhibition into an exchange of images and messages. The announcement doesn’t list any meet-and-greet or appearance by Yves at the venue.
Red is the suggested accent for anyone planning an outfit. It’s an optional nod to Cute & Anxiety, her upcoming EP, rather than an entry requirement.
Pocket Makati is a café and listening space in Poblacion that brings together vinyl, coffee and community gatherings. The setting suits the project: Yves chose spaces that fit her personal interests, not only conventional galleries.
Five Cities Open Their Doors On The Same Day
The exhibition opens across Asia on October 23. Yves picked spaces that match her interests, from thrift shops to music hangouts. Each city has a different closing date.
- Hong Kong: Mercury Recalls — October 23 to November 8
- Singapore: STAKEOUT — October 23 to November 4
- Bangkok: To chare — October 23 to November 6
- Kuala Lumpur: udou — October 23 to November 7
The Manila exhibition has the latest closing date among the five announced locations, running through November 9.
How The Pop-Up Connects To Cute & Anxiety
The photos arrive ahead of Cute & Anxiety, Yves’ fifth EP, scheduled for November 20. Its five tracks look at the tension between affection, outside attention and anxious thoughts. Rather than setting those feelings apart, the project considers how they can exist side by side.
Two songs arrive first. Yves plans to release the double single Hysteric / Adam on October 27. According to the announcement, Hysteric stays inside an anxious feeling as it unfolds, while Adam looks at what remains once it passes.
Physical pre-orders for the EP are open. The announced options include an edition with a 34-page photobook. Check the specific edition’s contents before ordering, as packages can differ.
The new record follows NAIL, released in April 2026. Yves began her solo work in 2024 with LOOP and I Did, after first gaining attention through LOONA. She has since worked with PinkPantheress, Lolo Zouaï and Lexie Liu.
Her Manila Concert Is a Separate Event
Yves is also scheduled to perform on November 9 at The Filinvest Tent in Alabang. Tour organiser Cult of Ya lists the Manila date as part of the artist’s Asia and Australia concerts.
That’s also the announced final day of the Pocket Makati exhibition. The venues sit in different parts of Metro Manila, and the events have separate formats. The pop-up announcement does not include concert ticket access.
What To Check Before Visiting Pocket Makati
The exhibition announcement confirms the venue, dates and handwritten-note activity. It doesn’t state an admission fee, reservation process or special exhibition hours. Those details are worth checking before making plans.
Pocket Makati’s previously published café schedule lists Wednesday through Sunday service, but the exhibition dates extend to Monday, November 9. The venue may use different hours for the pop-up. Don’t rely on its regular café schedule for the closing day.
The café is listed at Unit 102, Globill Mansion, 6146 Osias Street in Poblacion, Makati. Confirm the latest entry instructions through the venue before heading out.
