K-pop group SEVENTEEN unveiled the stage for their 5th full album's title track 'THUNDER' a day before their official comeback.
The surprise song reveal was met with a massive sing-along from the audience. This story is about SEVENTEEN who pre-released the stage for their 5th full album's title track 'THUNDER' just a day before their comeback.
The 'B-DAY PARTY: BURST Stage @Jamsu Bridge (hereafter BURST Stage)' held on the 25th in Seoul at Jamsu Bridge was a party in itself, signaling the group's passionate rebirth. Amidst the members' overwhelming performances and bursting energy, the stage for SEVENTEEN's 5th full album 'THUNDER' and the track 'HBD', releasing today (26th), drew explosive cheers from the audience.
The atmosphere of the concert reached its peak in an instant with the surprise song reveal. The chorus of 'THUNDER' sung by the members quickly spread among the audience, leading to a massive sing-along. It was a moment that not only confirmed SEVENTEEN's hot popularity but also raised expectations for the birth of a new hit song. Additionally, SEVENTEEN presented a variety of songs including hits like 'HOT', 'Rock with you', 'God of Music', 'Very NICE', and outdoor stage-friendly tracks like 'April shower', 'Headliner', 'Run to You', 'Let's Go Together', providing unforgettable memories to the audience.
The fireworks display against the backdrop of the Han River was the perfect showcase of the party's grandeur. Golden fireworks burst in sync with the encore song 'Very NICE', creating a spectacular scene. The use of the Moonlight Rainbow Fountain added to the visual feast. During 'Our Dawn Is Hotter Than Day', the fountain was lit in SEVENTEEN's official colors, and as the members sang 'God of Music', the water jets danced to the beat, doubling the excitement.
SEVENTEEN, the first K-pop artist to hold a concert at Jamsu Bridge, expressed, "This stage was made possible because of CARAT (fandom name)." Celebrating their 10th anniversary, the members joked, "We're feeling 'Very NICE'", but also firmly stated, "We will continue to explode, grow, and move forward," showing their determination for another leap forward.
SEVENTEEN showcased their prowess as 'performance masters', uniting not only fans worldwide but also general citizens and tourists. The audience area set up on Jamsu Bridge was soaked in a party atmosphere, and with large LED screens and relay stations, Banpo Hangang Park also saw tens of thousands gather to share the heat. The online live stream on platforms like Weverse, HYBE Labels YouTube channel, and Naver V LIVE attracted global fans from Korea, Japan, China, the USA, Indonesia, Singapore, and more.
After a splendid pre-birthday celebration, SEVENTEEN is set to release their highly anticipated 5th full album 'HAPPY BURSTDAY' today (26th) at 6 PM. The album features 'THUNDER' among three group tracks and 13 solo tracks.
