From special units to large-scale fan meetings. The group SEVENTEEN (S.Coups, Jeonghan, Joshua, Jun, Hoshi, Woozi, DK, Mingyu, Dokyeom, Seungkwan, Vernon, Dino) is reaching out to fans worldwide, known as CARAT, with extensive activities to celebrate their 10th anniversary.
First, the new special unit HoshiXWoozi will release their first single 'BEAM' on March 10. 'BEAM' signifies the light emitted from Hoshi and Woozi. This work expresses the originality and self-love of the two, built through challenges from their trainee days to now, in various forms of light. As leaders of the SEVENTEEN performance and vocal teams, and friends born in 1996, they are expected to showcase their presence as representatives of the '96 line' through this new release.
Group activities will also unfold in various ways. SEVENTEEN will hold the 'SVT 9TH FAN MEETING
On April 4 (local time), they will head to Mexico. SEVENTEEN will perform as the headliner on the first day of the largest music festival in the Latin region, 'Tecate Pa’l Norte 2025,' held in Monterrey from April 4 to 6. This festival, known as 'Mexico's Coachella,' will be the first time a K-pop artist performs there. Last year, they became the first K-pop artist to perform on the main stage at the UK's 'Glastonbury Festival' and headlined the main stage at 'Lollapalooza Berlin' in Germany.
SEVENTEEN kicked off 2025 energetically with the comeback of the special unit BSS (Seungkwan, Dokyeom, Hoshi) on January 8. They conveyed the message 'If you are happy at this moment, everyone is young' through their second single 'TELEPARTY,' stepping up as 'icons of youth.' The title track 'Jeans' went straight to number one on real-time and daily charts of domestic music sites, and the album sold nearly 530,000 copies in the first week after its release, showcasing the power of the 'K-pop strongest unit' BSS.

This tour, held in large stadiums in Bulacan, Singapore, Jakarta, and Bangkok, was praised by local media as "a performance that showcased SEVENTEEN's strong presence" (Billboard Philippines) and "perfect performers" (Singapore Straits Times), and was successfully held amid cheers from global fans. SEVENTEEN encountered approximately 1,037,000 (combined online and offline) audiences during their world tour, including Asia.
