SEVENTEEN was awarded a plaque of gratitude from the Los Angeles City Council. On the 8th (local time), the Los Angeles City Council invited Joshua of SEVENTEEN to City Hall and presented him with the plaque. This is awarded to organizations and individuals who contribute to arts, culture, and community, and the council highly praised SEVENTEEN for widely promoting the city through their performances and 'THE CITY PROJECT.' Joshua stated, 'I am incredibly grateful and honored to receive this plaque on behalf of the team, and I am happy to be able to introduce SEVENTEEN to LA. I am also pleased to show our beloved CARAT (SEVENTEEN's fans) all around the city. I hope that through our performances and 'SEVENTEEN THE CITY LA,' SEVENTEEN and LA can shine together.' He also mentioned, 'SEVENTEEN and LA share a commonality in showing infinite possibilities based on diversity. LA has become a center of the global entertainment industry due to the vibrancy of people from diverse backgrounds. SEVENTEEN also consists of 13 boys who come together to build our own dynamism and creativity.' On this day, many council members, including Chair Marquee Harris-Dawson, Katie Yaroslavsky, and John Lee, attended and listened to Joshua's speech. Hundreds of fans gathered around City Hall to support him. Council member Katie Yaroslavsky introduced SEVENTEEN as 'an amazing K-POP group that has captivated the world. They have created a cultural bridge connecting fans worldwide, beyond just showcasing wonderful music.' She continued, 'SEVENTEEN has delivered resonant messages about positivity and unity. They have inspired millions of people, and their influence continues to grow. Additionally, SEVENTEEN has conveyed diversity and inclusivity as the first K-POP artist to become a UNESCO Youth Goodwill Ambassador, bringing change to people's lives.' The recently launched 'SEVENTEEN THE CITY LA' has further highlighted their expanding influence in North America. Two large electronic billboards in the city center displayed advertisements announcing SEVENTEEN's arrival in America. 'SEVENTEEN THE CITY LA' will continue until the 11th. That evening, the iconic Santa Monica Pier Ferris wheel was adorned with SEVENTEEN and CARAT logos. SEVENTEEN will hold 'SEVENTEEN [RIGHT HERE] WORLD TOUR IN LOS ANGELES' at BMO Stadium on the 9th and 10th, with tickets selling out quickly on the first day of reservations, proving their high popularity locally.
