Background

edit

Following the conclusion of the group's eighth fan meeting in July 2024, Seventeen released a teaser for their next tour, which revealed that they would perform in South Korea, Japan, Asia, and the United States.[1] On August 6, Seventeen announced that the tour would open on October 12 at Goyang Stadium in South Korea, with the performances simultaneously streamed via Weverse.[2] The nine-show US leg was officially announced later that day.[3] The ten-show Japanese leg was announced the following day.[4] Due to demand, an additional show was added in Los Angeles.[5] A leg in Southeast Asia was announced on September 25.[6] Due to demand, additional shows were announced for Singapore, Jakarta and Bangkok.[7]

On August 12, it was announced that members Jeonghan and Jun would not be participating in the tour, due to Jeonghan enlisting in the military and Jun taking on an acting role in China. As such, the tour is being performed by the remaining eleven members of the group.[8] Still, Jeonghan made surprise appearances at the two performances in Goyang, South Korea, in the audience.[9]

Promotion

edit

A pop up event was held with Spotify in October 2024 in Seoul to promote the concerts in Goyang, alongside the then-upcoming release of Spill the Feels.[10]

For the group's New York stops, the Empire State Building was lit up in rose quartz and serenity, the group's official colors,[11] alongside an second pop-up with Spotify as part of "Carat Station NYC", with charm customization, a flower market, and Korean food.[12] In Los Angeles, the group hosted "The City Project", a four day event combining the group's music with the city landscapes from November 7 to 11.[13] The event included a pop up store, various parties with K-pop and EDM music, billboards throughout the city and collaboration menus with local restaurants, and the Santa Monica Pier's Ferris wheel was lit up in rose quartz and serenity.[14]

Reception

edit

In a positive review for Korea Joongang Daily, Yoon Seung-jin wrote that the tour's Goyang opening stop was a "sonic masterpiece, showcasing Seventeen's impeccable musicianship and undeniable stage presence."[15] Maria Mata reviewed the tour's New York stops for Melodic Magazine, describing the concerts as "electrifying" and commending the group's charisma and confidence.[16] In a review for the San Francisco Chronicle, Todd Inoue remarked that the tour's first night in Oakland coincided with the 2024 United States presidential election, but the group immediately "assumed their roles as agents of relief". Inoue went on to describe the performance as having "flawless choreography" and an "impressive visual spectacle", but lamented the omission of fan-favorite songs such as "Hot" and "Don Quixote".[17] Mary Siroky reviewed the final US stop of the tour in Los Angeles for Consequence, commenting on the almost-decade long career of the group and how the show demonstrated their bond, their repertoire and their journey to their first performance at a stadium in the US.[18]
