SEVENTEEN proved its overwhelming popularity. According to a recent announcement by the U.S. concert industry magazine Pollstar, SEVENTEEN was ranked No. 1 in the “ASIA FOCUS CHARTS: TOP TOURING ARTISTS.” Last year, it had placed second, behind the British band Coldplay. This ranking was calculated based on tour sales in the Asian region. It was confirmed that during the aggregation period (August 1, 2025 to July 31, 2026), SEVENTEEN recorded tour sales of $97,394,004 (about 15.5 billion yen) and ticket sales of 661,088. Through the large-scale world tour “NEW_,” which began last September, SEVENTEEN held performances one after another at large stadiums in Incheon, Hong Kong, Singapore, Bangkok, and Bulacan, starting with Incheon. As the first Korean artist, they also achieved the feat of selling out all seats four times at Kai Tak Stadium, the largest stadium in Hong Kong. Not only stadiums, but also major Japanese domes such as Vantelin Dome Nagoya, Kyocera Dome Osaka, Tokyo Dome, and Mizuho PayPay Dome Fukuoka were all used to hold a total of 22 large-scale tour performances to great success. Even though some members are fulfilling their military service obligations, SEVENTEEN continues to actively carry out activities as individuals, units, and as a group. Jeonghan & Joshua will hold “JEONGHAN X JOSHUA JOURNEY INTO [DREAMING]” in six cities in and outside South Korea from October 30 to November 1. Previously, Hoshi & Woozi, as well as S.Coups & Mingyu, DK & Seungkwan, The8 & Vernon, and Dino also traveled through major cities in Asia as well as South Korea to meet audiences. Earlier, they also signed their second re-contract with their agency Pledis Entertainment. In July, the members said through their agency, “We are happy to deliver good news to CARAT (the fans’ name). With the belief that there is nothing we cannot accomplish if we are together with the members, and with the shared understanding that we want to go further as a group, all 13 of us decided to walk together. We hope the fans will also walk with us, as part of ‘TEAM SVT’ (Team SEVENTEEN), together with our promise to keep challenging ourselves forever.” ・SEVENTEEN Jeonghan & Joshua release the title track “12 o'clock” MV!
