The passionate cheers of 180,000 fans for the group Seventeen heated up the Japanese archipelago.
Seventeen held the 'Seventeen 2025 Japan Fan Meeting Holiday' at the Saitama Super Arena on the 10th and 11th. This fan meeting, which kicked off on the 24th and 26th-27th of last month at the Kyocera Dome Osaka, sold out all five shows early, demonstrating their high local popularity. Additionally, it was streamed live online in over 70 countries and regions, allowing global fans to watch the performance and create memories together.
The performance unfolded under the theme of 'A Special Holiday Created Together with Seventeen and CARAT (fandom name)' and lasted about 3 hours and 30 minutes. The members started with the opening song 'Holiday' and presented over 20 stages, creating a concert-like atmosphere. The diverse composition, including games and talks under the 'SVT Healing Tour' concept, added to the excitement.
Seventeen interacted with local fans by singing their original Japanese songs such as 'Dream', 'Ima - Even If the World Ends Tomorrow', and '24H', as well as Japanese versions of 'Let's Go Together' and 'Rock With You'. The medley stage, which featured nine consecutive songs, was undoubtedly the highlight of this fan meeting. Every time songs like 'Call Call Call!', 'Clap', and 'Boom Boom' started, enthusiastic cheers erupted. The members ran around the protruding stage, breathing closely with the audience.
On the last day of the fan meeting, the 11th, Seventeen surprised fans with an encore stage, showcasing their exceptional love for their fans. They stated, “CARAT is our world, everything, and eternal healing. We will strive to be your best and last idol in the future,” and added, “Thinking of the love and energy we received from our fans, we will work even harder to prepare for our comeback.”
After the fan meeting, Seventeen will return with their 5th regular album 'Happy Birthday' on the 26th. They have previously revealed three versions of concept teasers, photos, and films, hinting at a bold transformation. They will unveil the tracklist on the 13th, a highlight medley on the 16th, and two official teasers on the 23rd-24th. From the 23rd to the 25th, a 'B-DAY PARTY' will be held at the Sebit Island in Seoul to celebrate their 10th anniversary, and on the 25th, the day before the album release, a 'BURST Stage' will take place at the Jamsu Bridge in Seoul.
