K-pop idol group Seventeen wrapped up their three-day fan meeting in Seoul on March 10 to 12 and hinted that they will be making their comeback in April.  They held their “Seventeen in Carat Land” fan meeting with four-hour shows and revealed plans for their next album to be released in April.  “Seventeen in Carat Land” (Pledis Entertainment)

Connecting with the fans offline and online through a live stream, Seventeen opened the event with Pretty U” and “My My.” The performances were followed by an on-stage iteration of a popular game from their own YouTube show “Going Seventeen.”  Performances of “Together” and Seventeen’s special unit BSS; recent hit “Fighting” lifted the level of energy across the arena, segueing into another game that brought the fans together in chatting with the members and cheering for them as they divided into teams and competed against each other to avoid the embarrassment of performing a song from “The list of songs that least suit SEVENTEEN.” Next were “Unit Reverse” performances iconic to ‘Carat Land’ during which the three units of Seventeen each performed a song originally sung by a different unit within the group.  After the performance unit’s “Back it up,” hip-hop unit’s “Imperfect love” and vocal unit’s “Pang!,” all 13 members gathered back on stage for “Don Quixote.”  The fan meeting culminated in Seventeen and Carats sharing moments of vulnerability as a slideshow of the act’s memories together and hand-written letters from the members’ parents surprised the members on stage.

“Seeing these photos remind us how valuable our times together are, and how lucky we are to have our members and fans by our side. We are releasing our next album in April. We’re proud of our work, and we promise it will be a month to remember,” said Seventeen.  Seventeen returned to the stage repeatedly for their iconic “never-ending encore,” performing a range of songs from “Fighting,” “Healing” to “Very Nice” and inviting the audience to sing and dance along with them. They held the first edition of the fan meet in 2017 and have since then greeted fans with interactive shows filled with performances, games and talk segments every year.  Seventeen will hold a four-day fan meet “Seventeen 2023 Japan Fanmeeting: Love” in Japan at Kyocera Dome Osaka and Tokyo Dome in May.
