Regarding “만남의 의미(相遇的意义, 샹위 더 이이)” (“The Meaning of Encounter”), WOOZI expressed sincere feelings towards the fans, stating:
“Above all, I really wanted to see our fans, CARATs. I’ve been thinking for a long time that I wanted to create a precious and meaningful song for our fans, and that’s the mindset with which I wrote ‘만남의 의미(相遇的意义, 샹위 더 이이)‘ (“The Meaning of Encounter”). Having the opportunity to sing it in front of you is really great and precious.”
As the leaders of the K-pop scene, SEVENTEEN delivered dazzling group performances, as well as charming sub-unit acts, creating diverse and captivating scenes that garnered explosive applause despite the sweltering heat.
At the end of the show, SEVENTEEN conveyed its sentiments:
“The tour that started in Korea concludes in Macao. It was truly an honor to end it so beautifully. Each performance was special because we could feel the love and support from our CARATs. We are sincerely grateful to all our fans who have been with us so far. We will be back together soon.”
