SEVENTEEN's concert in Goyang kicks off their new tour, showcasing their growth and promising future performances with a full house.

SEVENTEEN opened the glamorous curtain on their tour with 11 members. It was a concert that announced the beginning of the military blank period (military + blank period), while promising to gather together soon, further raising expectations for the upcoming second act. On the afternoon of the 13th, the SEVENTEEN World Tour 'SEVENTEEN 'RIGHT HERE' WORLD TOUR' was held at the main stadium of Goyang Comprehensive Sports Complex. Over the two days of the concert on the 12th and 13th, about 58,000 spectators visited, energizing the venue. With all seats sold out, including obstructed view seats, the venue was filled with fans' light sticks from the first to the third floor. This tour 'RIGHT HERE' is a performance that condenses their growth story. From the opening performance connecting 'Poison: Fear', 'Fearless', and 'MAESTRO', they expressed the process of overcoming the fears of the past and proving their existence, structuring the setlist around songs not previously shown in concerts, adding a special feeling. Furthermore, it was a significant performance where S.COUPS, who had paused activities due to a knee injury last year and only participated in part of the encore concert earlier this year, appeared from start to finish after a long time. The members excited fans from the beginning with songs like 'Ash' and 'Crush', followed by nostalgic songs like 'Our Dawn Is Hotter Than Day', 'Not Alone', 'March', '’bout you', and 'Campfire', evoking emotions. For the encore song, they chose 'IF you leave me', which had never been performed on stage before, delighting fans. Additionally, they prepared their signature song 'VERY NICE' for the ending, delivering overflowing energy with fans until the end. Since the concert was held ahead of the release of their 12th mini-album 'SPILL THE FEELS', the stage for new songs was also an essential point. Following the hip-hop team's 'Water', the performance team's 'Rain', and the vocal team's 'Candy', they also unveiled the title track 'LOVE, MONEY, FAME (feat. DJ Khaled)', providing a unique enjoyment specific to 'RIGHT HERE'. After the performance, the members expressed their happiness at being able to show it at just the right timing, saying, 'When we performed 'MAESTRO', the energy was different because we previewed the stage. This time, we are very happy to show you.' Min-gyu introduced the unit song 'Water', saying, 'Half of the lyrics are 'Water'. It is a song created while imagining a concert. I wanted to try something more enjoyable.' Woozi shared about 'Candy', saying, 'When you live hard, love is not just one emotion; it is complex. You think a lot about the surroundings. Compared to when I thought about it while eating candy as a child, the heart is really a simple thing. I wanted to write a story about adult love.' DINO revealed about 'Rain', saying, 'It has a mood, and you can enjoy the performance while continuing with the rhythm.' The unique charm of the members was also highlighted in the musical section. The members, who traveled in a camper van, performed 'Oh My!', 'Snap Shoot', 'God of Music', and 'Now - Even if the world ends tomorrow - (Korean Ver.)' with the concept of falling into a distorted space-time. The stage, interspersed with skits, conveyed the chemistry of the members. In 'Oh My!', they depicted a confrontation with a suddenly intruding animal costume during the stage, and in 'Snap Shoot', they created a stage against the backdrop of Sokcho's sea, promising 'If someone changes later, let's throw it here' from 2015, delivering a special time. The members said, 'People always change', 'Thank you always, I'm sorry', and jumped into the sea, but they reappeared on stage with comments like, 'Thank you for loving SEVENTEEN until now. Please continue to support us', which drew cheers from fans. This tour was also the first performance with 11 members excluding Jonghan and Jun. Jonghan enlisted last month to fulfill his military duty, becoming the first among the members, while Jun is engaged in individual activities in China. During the opening comments, Seungkwan mistakenly said, 'With 13 of us', then corrected himself to '11'. As disappointed voices from fans followed, he said, 'I also want to see (the members).' The members comforted, saying, 'We always thought of it as 13.' Min-gyu said, 'It's a concert without Jonghan and Jun, but don't be sad. They are people who will always come back, so just feel a little disappointed.' Although he couldn't get on stage, Jonghan enjoyed the performance with the audience as a spectator for two days. When his image appeared on the electronic display board, he waved happily at the fans and danced along to 'Adore U' sung by the fans. Additionally, a VCR that appeared during the concert featured all 13 members, enveloping the atmosphere in excitement. At the end of the performance, SEVENTEEN spoke about their future with CARAT. S.COUPS said, 'Even though Jonghan and Jun are not here now, I firmly believe that the day will come when we will gather again and perform on stage as 13. I want to say, 'I really want to be together forever' to become the most ideal team I dream of. I want to live as SEVENTEEN forever and protect this place as a member. Until then, if you fill the audience like this, I think I will be very happy.' Seungkwan said, 'S.COUPS said forever, but I really want to do it as long as I can, and when CARAT sees it and feels that we really did it, I want to hear such words. The word forever may not be very realistic, so I want to do my best as long as my knees are alive.' Wonwoo also said, 'We have always continued our journey with CARAT. I think there will be many difficult and fun things in the future journey, but if we are with CARAT, it will always be fun. I love the members and CARAT very much. Please continue to support us.' Next, Woozi conveyed, 'I want you to understand that SEVENTEEN always does its best to meet you. I love you from the bottom of my heart, so please support those who run to see love.' DK said, 'When we were preparing for this performance, I felt something was lacking because Jonghan and Jun were not there. Still, we worked hard to prepare and thought we had to show CARAT a good appearance, recalling the time from our debut concert until now. I think it was an important time, and I am still grateful and truly appreciate it. I was happy to hear 'I love you.' He shed tears. DINO shared, 'I was very worried while preparing. Honestly, after 10 years, it's not just me; everyone is lonely. But I really worked hard, thinking only of CARAT, considering what songs would make CARAT happy and how to structure the dance performance to please them. That passion never cooled down.' He expressed his desire to become a better person and show his growth in front of CARAT. He asked CARAT to always remember to be with them in their lives. Joshua said, 'When I think about why we can perform on such a large stage in front of so many CARAT, I feel very happy and grateful. The preparation process was tough, but I felt like I worked hard for this happiness, to meet everyone.' He added, 'I love you forever.' Min-gyu said, 'I have been running for a year without rest. Honestly, it's natural to be tired, and I relieve stress by gathering and talking with the members, but ultimately, the most challenging schedule and the energy comes from the energy you give me at this moment. I want to meet you more often and for a longer time. I will work harder to become an energy source that can last longer, filled with energy, passion, and love. Thank you very much, I love you.' Vernon comforted, 'I couldn't spend time with Jonghan and Jun, but all the members will come back together, so don't be too sad.' He added, 'This is just the beginning,' inviting laughter while making a realistic statement. DINO said, 'It was very fun. As the older brothers said, it was certainly tough while preparing, but I think we could do our best because we were together. And we could come to this large venue because we were with CARAT. I want to finish the tour without injury. I sincerely thank all CARAT who came today.' He added, 'Please look forward to SEVENTEEN's stage in the future. This album is also really amazing, so I hope you look forward to it.' Although the military blank period has begun, the future that SEVENTEEN envisions with CARAT is 'eternal.' Seungkwan explained the choice of 'If you leave me' for the encore song, saying, 'I hope our sincerity reaches you properly, and I chose this song for the encore. The song itself and the theme may sound sad, but it contains a vow and promise to protect you and our team. I hope this song reaches you. We will sing it with all our might.' They conveyed the message of being together forever with CARAT against the backdrop of Goyang's night sky. The lyrics, 'I will protect your side, I want to hold your hand tightly for eternity, just stay by my side,' harmonized with the placard held by fans, 'We shine the brightest at one moment,' raising expectations for their future, which shines even more together.
