SEVENTEEN
SEVENTEEN returns with a new story to celebrate its 10th anniversary.
For the first time, a K-pop artist performed on a submersible bridge in Seoul, demonstrating their 10 years of experience and potential, marking the beginning of a new SEVENTEEN worthy of the name, with a high-quality stage and a broader musical spectrum.
On the evening of May 25th, the “BURST Stage” was held at the submersible bridge in Banpo-dong, Seocho-gu, Seoul, to celebrate SEVENTEEN’s 10th debut anniversary.
The audience on the bridge was approximately 6,000 seats, filled with the warmth of CARATs’ fandom, and the festival atmosphere grew increasingly intense. Approximately 60,000 people gathered around the area where large LED screens were installed in Banpo Hangang Park to enjoy a special moment with SEVENTEEN.
It was a true festival. SEVENTEEN, the first K-pop artist to perform on this submersible bridge, once again demonstrated its potential and presence. The space was scorching hot, and it wasn’t easy to clear the air in the overheated atmosphere. However, it was a perfect moment for SEVENTEEN to shine even brighter.
SEVENTEEN returned with its new album “HAPPY BURSTDAY” to celebrate its 10th debut anniversary. When the stage for their comeback title track “Thunder” began, the stage quickly unified and reached a peak level of immersion. Even the atmosphere was a bit explosive with SEVENTEEN’s arrival, and the onstage atmosphere was perfectly organized.
SEVENTEEN’s energetic performance dominated the stage. Their dance moves, naturally accompanied by the rhythm, had a more mature and assertive charm than before. The collective dance, perfectly in tune with the free and lively atmosphere, demonstrated the strength of the collective and SEVENTEEN’s long-standing know-how.
While “Thunder” is expected to set the K-pop scene alight this summer with its intensely addictive sound, the track “HBD” showcases SEVENTEEN’s warm vocal charm. At the same time, we felt a deep sense of emotion for CARATs, their longtime companions, as they celebrated their 10th debut anniversary.
SEVENTEEN unveiled a series of new songs with diverse charms during this performance, revealing the group’s musical richness as they celebrated their 10th anniversary. (The performance was available to watch live for free.)
From the moving vocals to the powerful, performance-driven title tracks, each song boasts a clear and immersive concept, as well as a genre-bending composition, reflecting SEVENTEEN’s ten years of experience.
In particular, in keeping with the title of its first large-scale outdoor concert held on a submersible bridge for the first time as K-pop idols, SEVENTEEN once again made its mark as a representative K-pop group by delivering legendary performances on a high-quality stage, an unwavering live performance, and impressive stagecraft.
In addition, songs that inspired SEVENTEEN, such as “Our dawn is hotter than day,” “Headliner,” and “Run to you,” continued to be performed, and a touching stage was held to reminisce about past memories with fans.
Fan chants naturally erupted with each performance, while the colorful fountains and fireworks, emblazoned across the sky, harmonizing with the atmosphere of the show, made the stage even more vibrant.
The perfect festival to fully celebrate SEVENTEEN’s 10th anniversary and to reminisce and fully enjoy these moments spent together with fans, was inaugurated. This special moment created by SEVENTEEN and CARATs inspired them to look forward to a new beginning after ten years of adventure.
In addition, SEVENTEEN will release its fifth album, “HAPPY BURSTDAY,” at 6 p.m. KST today. This new album will feature a variety of solo songs, including the title track “Thunder,” the group songs “HBD” and “Bad influence,” as well as the individuality and color of the 13 members, reflecting SEVENTEEN’s musical spectrum and new challenges.
