What do you get when a Philippine debutante trades her ballgown for sequins and a mic? Gehlee Dangca at 18! In part two of our birthday blog series, the U&iS kingdom brims with fan love, music, and messages as EverAfters and Lovies everywhere cheer on our star as she waltzes into adulthood.
- August 18, 2025
Mabuhay Evters and Lovies!
As the Philippines carries on its beloved tradition of debutantes twirling through candlelit halls, it feels poetic that our Gehlee is now debuting for the second time. In Tagalog parties, a debutante’s ball is a rite of passage, a beautiful ceremony marking the transition into womanhood. But in the vibrant world of K-Pop, “debut” means launching your dreams where the world can see them. Gehlee Dangca is one of those rare souls who gets to experience both, making history as a "double debutante" and redefining what it means to shine at 18, whether under soft candlelight or the global spotlight.
The buzz in the U&iS kingdom is electric. Campaigns like the "#18DaysOfGehlee" on X are a beautiful testament to the incredible community surrounding her. It is wonderful to see so much love and support pouring out for Gehlee from every corner of the globe. Her love cup truly seems to be overflowing, and it’s a joy to witness.
Another Branching Stream of Love
Adding to this outpouring of love, a few EverAfters have sent in some incredibly heartfelt and personal messages to share through Gehlee Tunes. It is our absolute honor to host these words and wishes for Gehlee and all her fans to enjoy.
First up, a touching message from LEO Neth:
"Hello Princess Gehlee, Blessed birthday to you! Praise the Lord for this lovely child of God. May this special day remind you of how deeply loved, cherished, and admired you truly are. I consider you as one of my own children, and it brings me so much joy to see you grow into such a wonderful person. Keep believing in yourself, Gehlee, and may your future shine as bright as the stars. May your dreams grow bigger and your blessings be endless. I love you dearly. Happy 18th Birthday, Gehlee! With love, Your LEO Neth ❤️"
Next, from Badz77, a message that's as sweet as our favorite snacks!
"From Badz to Princess Gehlee. Happy Birthday Princess ! Wishing you all the best today and always. We love you ❤️❤️❤️"
Shanieee sent in a message bubbling with "pink to my purple" energy, capturing the beautiful bond between fan and idol:
"To: Princess Gehlee. Hi my pretty lovely PRINCESS GEHLEE! Happy Happy 18th Birthday! Now that we are already both 18, I wish for us both that we can be ready for the new journey we are going to.

(you love pink and i love purple!)🩷💜 I love you so so muchieeeee GEHLEEEE!🫶 From: Shanieee"
And what's a birthday without a song? DJ Andy lent his amazing radio voice for this special tribute. Sounding great Andy!
Marvie shared a message of deep pride and encouragement, reminding Gehlee of the incredible light she shines on her fans:
"Hello Gehlee. I know you've been through so much to get to where you are today, and I just want to say how proud I am to see you shining so brightly on that stage. Rain or storm, you bring the sun every time you smile, and that light reaches farther than you know. You've been such an inspiration to many of us. Not just through your talent, but through your strength, kindness, and passion. I hope you also give yourself time to rest, because I know there are days when you're tired too, and that's okay. Take a breath, take a break, and come back when you're ready. We'll always be here for you. Enjoy every moment of this fancon. I may just be watching from the balcony, and even if you don't see or hear me, I hope my energy reaches you and reminds you how loved and supported you are. Have fun, girlie pops. We love you! -Marvie"
Marvie followed this message up with a video expressing his hopes for Gehlee's upcoming year and his love for her as a fan. Amazing Marvie! 🫶
Finally, from our own corner here at Gehlee Tunes:
"Hi Gehlee, this is Josh from Gehlee Tunes, here to join the chorus of Lovies wishing you a blessed birthday. Seems like those blessings have been pouring in! You've been a big inspiration and transformative presence in my life this year. Knowing you exist makes the world brighter and supercharges my desire to make my dreams come true. I'd love to be a part of making your dreams come true as well, and I know I'm not the only one! You have a veritable army of fans, friends, and family at your back every step of the journey. Whatever it is you want, you go for it! Just remember to ask God for help. That's what I did, and He sent me you. Yes, you are heaven sent. I rarely express it, but I love you Gehlee! Keep shining! 💘"
Wrapping Up This Celebration
Gift Lost in the Mail? 💌
Along with this post, Gehlee Tunes has provided F&F Entertainment with an album concept pitch as a special birthday gift for Gehlee. The concept is meant as a springboard into creative conversations between the staff and UNIS members for a future comeback.
40 hours and 100 pages of notes later, we emailed the pitch to F&F Entertainment on August 3, 2025. Of course, any ideas contained are free for the company to use! However, there's a very good chance the pitch is still sitting unread in their email inbox, so we encourage Gehlee (if she's reading this) to ask for a copy of that email for review. Then ask the company to reply to our email saying they received it. That would be a great gift to us! 🎁
Big Thank You's! 🫶
Thank you to everyone who contributed to this post, and especially to Ria for writing such a beautiful tribute to Gehlee in Part 1 of this series. It's a privilege and an honor to see and hear Gehlee, so let's all continue to enjoy her gifts of talent, beauty, and grace together!
