The tour takes its title from Tuan's first full album, released in August 2022, and includes the songs Only Human, Running Away, Far Away and My Life.
Their Philippines shows have been referred to as GOT7's "tingi" era by Filipino Ahgases, referring to the culture of the Philippines wherein customers purchase items in bits instead of doing so by bulk. This is because the group's members have primarily focused on their solo careers, with each of them visiting the country not as a group but as soloists.
Youngjae was the first to host a fan sign event in Manila in July 2022 and returned a few months later in September for the "K-pop Masterz Ep. 2" concert.
Jackson also joined the lineup, delivering an unforgettable performance at the "K-pop Masterz Ep. 1" concert in July 2022 and later graced the stage at the "Head In The Clouds" festival in December 2022.
Yugyeom, on the other hand, captivated audiences with his solo show in August 2022 and made a triumphant return in January 2023 for the Follow the Movement concert alongside fellow AOMG artists.
JAY B and Jinyoung also had their moments to shine, holding solo shows in Manila in October 2022 and February 2023, respectively.
Last September, their bandmate BamBam held his first-ever solo concert in Manila as part of his "Area 52 World Tour" at the Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City.
Tuan is the final member of GOT7 to hold a solo performance in Manila since international concerts resumed in the country due to COVID-19.
