K-pop boy group Seventeen successfully finished its “SEVENTEEN [RIGHT HERE] WORLD TOUR” last weekend, drawing over 1.03 million fans globally over the past four months.

The group held a two-day concert at Rajamangala National Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, on Saturday and Sunday, celebrating the finale of its four-month world tour journey.

“Seventeen filled the concert’s three hours with diverse performances befitting their reputation as ‘masters of performance,’” the group’s agency, Pledis Entertainment, said in a press release Monday.

“They excited audiences with hit songs like 'LOVE, MONEY, FAME (feat. DJ Khaled),' 'God of Music,' ‘Super' and unit stages highlighting the hip-hop, performance and vocalists' strengths and the group's signature 'VERY NICE' encore, delivering solid and flawless performances.”

As the members wrapped up the concert, they expressed gratitude to the fans.

“We're grateful to the members, staff and CARATs (Seventeen's official fandom name) who joined us on this world tour. This tour will be engraved in our hearts as a happy memory,” the group said. "We're thankful to those who have loved Seventeen for 10 years. We will continue to grow for CARATs.”

The group kicked off its latest world tour in October, holding a two-day concert at Goyang Stadium in Gyeonggi Province. The group, composed of 13 members — S.Coups, Jeonghan, Joshua, Jun, Hoshi, Wonwoo, Woozi, The8, Mingyu, DK, Seungkwan, Vernon and Dino — embarked on this world tour with only 11. Jeonghan, enlisted in mandatory military service in September, and Jun is currently focusing on his acting career in China.

The group hosted 30 shows across 14 cities in North America, Japan and Asia, including Los Angeles, Osaka, Singapore and Jakarta, attracting a total of 1.037 million concertgoers who joined the shows in person and through online streaming.

The group also hosted concert tour-related events, which garnered positive responses. “SEVENTEEN THE CITY” was organized in five different cities that were part of the group's tour, namely Los Angeles, Aichi, Tokyo, Osaka and Fukuoka. This created a citywide festive mood, as fans enjoyed various events before and after the concert.

Meanwhile, Seventeen won the Grand Prize for Best Album and Artist of the Year at the 32nd Hanteo Music Awards 2024 on Sunday at Jangchung Arena in Jung District, Seoul. The group also bagged Top K-pop Touring Artist at the 2024 Billboard Music Awards in December.

Their journey continues as they are set to become the first K-pop artists to perform at Tecate Pa’l Norte, the largest music festival in Latin America, slated to be held in Monterrey, Mexico, on April 4.

The group is also set to hold a fan meeting in March. The group’s agency announced Monday that it will be holding the “2025 SVT 9TH FAN MEETING” at Incheon Munhak Stadium in Incheon on March 20 and 21, sharing a poster of the upcoming event.

“It is unprecedented for a fan meeting to be held in a large stadium,” the agency said. “CARATs who unfortunately cannot attend in person can enjoy the event through online live streaming.”
