K-pop icon Seventeen wrapped up their two-day “Right Here” World Tour in the Philippines with an amazing show.
Seventeen, crowned as the Top K-pop Tourist Artist at the 2024 Billboard Music Awards (BBMAs), drew a massive crowd at their concert at the Philippine Sports Stadium in Bulacan on Jan. 18 and 19.
The Philippines was Seventeen’s first stop in the new year for the continuation of their “Right Here” world tour, which kicked off in South Korea on Oct. 12 and 13 last year.

Seventeen’s concerts in South Korea, five US cities and four Japanese cities drew more than 700,000 fans in-person and online.
On the first day of their Bulacan concert on Jan. 18, Seventeen performed for three hours, impressing fans with their setlist containing their hit songs and tracks from their various albums. The extended stage and huge LED screens also contributed to fans’ delightful experience.
Seventeen opened the “Right Here” concert with “Fear,” “Fearless” and “Maestro,” captivating the audience with their powerful performance and choreography.
“Every time we come to the Philippines, the reaction of Filipino fans is always hot,” said Hoshi amid the cheers and screams from the audience.
DK said, “We missed you guys so much.”
The “Right Here” concert marked Seventeen’s return to the Philippines in a year after holding two sold-out “Follow” To Bulacan shows at the same venue in January last year, becoming the first international artist to perform at the stadium.
When Seventeen’s unit BSS’ (composed of DK, Hoshi, and Seungkwan) new song “CBZ (Prime Time)” suddenly started playing, they performed the chorus live for the first time at a concert for their Filipino fans.
Seventeen’s three units–hip-hop, performance and vocal–took the stage for their own spots. The hip-hop unit of S.Coups, Wonwoo, Mingyu and Vernon performed “Water” and “Monster” while the performance unit, composed of Hoshi, The 8 and Dino, sang “Rain” and Lilili Yabbay.”
The vocal unit of Woozi, Joshua, DK and Seungkwan performed “Candy” and “Cheers to Youth.”
Seventeen continued with their set, performing “Ash,” “Crush,” “Oh My!,” “Snap Shoot,” “God of Music” and “Ima-Even if the world ends tomorrow.”
They also performed “Love, Money, Fame,” “March,” “Super,” “Adore U,” “‘bout you,” “Campfire” and ending with “Very Nice.”
The idol group’s performances of “Super” and “Adore U’ drew the loudest cheers. In the “never-ending’ performance of “Very Nice,” Seventeen members positioned themselves at every corner of the stage.
Mingyu and Seungkwan, meanwhile, came off the stage to hand the mic to a fan to sing the high note of the song.
Seventeen thanked fans for coming to the concert.
“We’ve always had such good memories in the Philippines. We're always touched by your big, passionate energy. Thank you so much,” said Woozi.

S.Coups said, “First of all, I'm thankful to be here with everyone. I’m so happy to be an artist who can fill a venue like this as we approach our 10th year. Although we are not 13 right now, I hope we can come back here as 13 again. We’ll try to come see you often wherever we get the chance, so please continue to show us love and support. I love you.”
“We had so much fun. Your energy, your love is insane. That Filipino love is real. Mahal kita (I love you),” said Vernon.
“We’ll make sure to come back and see you guys again,” said Dino.
Joshua said, “Thank you so much for waiting for such a long time. It’s been one year since the last time we saw each other. I missed you so much. I know you missed us too, that’s why we are here today. We’ll make sure to come back soon. Promise.”
“It was really fun that we were able to do our first concert for 2025,” said Wonwoo.
DK said, “Thank you so much to all who enjoyed tonight.”
A day before the concert, the Carat Station Manila by Seventeen and Spotify opened in Makati, offering fans with photo opportunities and interactive activities.
