Fans of the popular tandem Kim Chiu and Paulo Avelino were sent into a frenzy after an unexpected announcement on Sunday’s episode of ‘ASAP’.
During the noontime variety show on February 1, Kim revealed that she and Paulo are set to embark on a KimPau World Tour, scheduled to begin this April. While specific dates and destinations have yet to be disclosed, the announcement alone was enough to excite their fanbase, popularly known as KimPaulandia—especially overseas Filipino workers eager to see the pair abroad.
What added to the buzz was Paulo’s visibly surprised reaction onstage, prompting laughter from both the audience and viewers at home.
“Parang na-shock si Paulo!” host Martin Nievera quipped as the actor appeared momentarily caught off guard.
“Katulad niyo, nagulat din po ako,” Paulo joked, drawing cheers from the crowd.
Kim, however, was quick to tease her partner, pointing him toward the teleprompter for details of the announcement.
“Yes, may isa pa kaming announcement ni Pau! Around the world. Abangan niyo po ang aming KimPau World Tour,” Kim said, smiling as Paulo read aloud that the tour would kick off in April, with venues to be announced soon.
The lighthearted exchange instantly went viral among fans, many of whom interpreted Paulo’s reaction as part of the duo’s playful dynamic—one that has only fueled speculation about their closeness offscreen.
Aside from the tour news, fans also took notice of the pair’s chemistry during their first production number together for 2026, with Kim visibly beaming and Paulo exchanging warm glances throughout their duet.
While details remain limited, the world tour is widely seen as the next major project for the KimPau tandem following their recent television and film collaborations. For supporters who have been eager for their next move, the announcement appears to answer the question of what’s next for the in-demand duo this year.
