K-pop icons SEVENTEEN drew the curtains on the highly anticipated Asia leg of their globe-storming SEVENTEEN [RIGHT HERE] WORLD TOUR with a showstopping two-day concert at the Philippine Sports Stadium on 18 and 19 January.
Since launching with two sold-out shows in October 2024 in Korea, RIGHT HERE swept across five cities in the U.S. and four cities in Japan, drawing an audience of over 700,000 in attendance, both in-person and online.
Last weekend, SEVENTEEN arrived on the Philippine stage with a dynamic three-hour set full of massive hits and beloved deep cuts from their celebrated discography. After a powerful opening sequence that showcased their transformation into “maestro” artists with high-energy tracks 'Fear', 'Fearless', and 'MAESTRO', a surprise moment came when BSS’ new track 'CBZ (Prime time)' suddenly kicked in, and the trio performed the chorus live for the first time at a concert.
This was a perfect prelude to the following performances, where SEVENTEEN’s three units—hip-hop, performance, and vocal—each stepped out to perform their respective tracks including 'Water', 'Rain' and 'Candy', clearly displaying what sets them apart as a team based on the interplay of different units. The show reached its climax during SEVENTEEN’s electrifying performances of fan-favorites 'Super' and 'Adore U', which built to the encore featuring their famed "never-ending" performance of 'VERY NICE'. All the members ran towards each corner of the stage to interact closely with their fans, ensuring they left with unforgettable moments of joy known to entice them to return to their live shows every time.
Reflecting on the memorable moments of the night, WOOZI said, “We’ve always had such good memories in the Philippines. We're always touched by your big, passionate energy. Thank you so much.” S.COUPS shared his heartfelt words, “First of all, I'm thankful to be here with everyone. I’m so happy to be an artist who can fill a venue like this as we approach our 10th year. Although we are not 13 right now, I hope we can come back here as 13 again. We’ll try to come see you often whenever we get the chance, so please continue to show us love and support. I love you.”
To amp up on the excitement for the tour stop in the Philippines, SEVENTEEN teamed up with Spotify to open a pop-up CARAT Station Manila, filled with stunning photo opportunities and interactive activities, from 17-19 January. Their next stop in Singapore will also feature an exclusive collaboration, titled THE WONDERLAND with SEVENTEEN, between the group and Marina Bay Sands. The architectural marvel will be lit up in pink and blue hues of Rose Quartz and Serenity—SEVENTEEN’s official color—on concert nights, and SEVENTEEN-inspired culinary creations and bespoke collectibles will be provided across the resort’s F&B establishments from 20-26 January.
Including their upcoming shows in Singapore (25 & 26 January), RIGHT HERE will continue to Jakarta (8 & 9 February) before wrapping up the four-month world tour in Bangkok (15 & 16 February).
