SEVENTEEN received rave reviews from overseas media and successfully completed their North American tour. On the 30th (local time), SEVENTEEN held the finale of the 'SEVENTEEN WORLD TOUR [NEW_] IN U.S.' at Capital One Arena in Washington D.C., after about three weeks of performances. Starting from Tacoma on the 11th of last month, they performed nine times in five cities including Los Angeles, Austin, and Sunrise, culminating in Washington D.C. As it was the finale of the North American tour, they passionately sang over 30 songs for about three hours. They showcased a wide 'music spectrum' with a diverse setlist, including group performances like 'THUNDER' and unit and solo stages from Joshua, Jun, DK, and Vernon. The encore song chosen on the spot, combined with SEVENTEEN's unique charm, delivered a fun experience exclusive to them. At the end of the performance, the members expressed, 'We are truly happy and grateful to meet you at such an important time in our lives. We hope the strong bond between SEVENTEEN and CARAT (the name of SEVENTEEN's fans) continues. We will return with all 13 members next time.' The local media's praise throughout the tour proved SEVENTEEN's presence as 'masters of performance.' Music media 'Billboard' rated it as 'a completely new performance filled with excitement and catharsis,' praising, 'The members showcased their brilliant abilities as solo artists through individual stages, and their overwhelming stage dominance remained unchanged even with these new attempts.' The Hollywood Reporter, a leading American entertainment media, conveyed the atmosphere, stating, 'The energetic stage continued without interruption,' and 'The members' sincerity was perceived as something special by the audience, who seemed to cherish their time with them.' Other outlets like Bandwagon noted they 'expanded the horizons of K-POP concerts,' and Just Jared called it 'a turning point that opens a new era for SEVENTEEN.' SEVENTEEN achieved remarkable success in the U.S. this year. Their 5th full album 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY,' released in May, ranked 2nd on the Billboard main album chart. The special unit S.COUPS & Mingyu's 1st mini-album 'HYPE VIBES' set a new record for K-POP unit albums on the same chart. The tour was a great success, especially as they performed at the BMO Stadium in Los Angeles for two consecutive years, proving their popularity.
