On the 10th and 11th, SEVENTEEN held their 'SEVENTEEN 2025 JAPAN FAN MEETING 'HOLIDAY'' at the Saitama Super Arena. The fan meeting, which kicked off last month on the 24th and continued on the 26th and 27th at the Kyocera Dome Osaka, sold out all five sessions early, showcasing their immense popularity locally. Additionally, the event was streamed online across over 70 countries and regions, allowing global fans to join in and create memories together.
The performance, themed 'A Special Holiday with SEVENTEEN and CARAT (the group's fandom name),' lasted approximately 3 hours and 30 minutes. The members kicked off with the opening song 'Holiday' and presented around 20 tracks, generating the excitement of a concert. The 'SVT Healing Tour' concept, featuring games and talks, added to the variety of attractions.
SEVENTEEN connected with local fans by performing Japanese original songs such as 'DREAM', 'Ima - Even if the world ends tomorrow-', and '24H', as well as Japanese versions of 'Let's Go Together' and 'Rock with you'. A medley stage of 9 songs was undoubtedly the highlight of the fan meeting. Songs like 'CALL CALL CALL!', 'Clap', and 'BOOMBOOM' were met with ecstatic cheers as they began. The members ran around the extended stage, interacting closely with the audience.
On the final day of the fan meeting, the 11th, SEVENTEEN surprised fans with an encore performance, showcasing their exceptional love for the fans. They expressed, "CARAT is our world, our everything, and our eternal healing. We will strive to be your best and last idol," and "We will prepare for our comeback with all the love and energy we've received from you in mind."
After the fan meeting, SEVENTEEN is set to return on the 26th with their 5th full album 'HAPPY BURSTDAY'. Having previously released three versions of concept teasers, photos, and films, they've hinted at a dramatic transformation. The tracklist will be revealed on the 13th, followed by a highlight medley on the 16th, and two official teasers on the 23rd and 24th. From the 23rd to the 25th, a 'B-DAY PARTY' celebrating their 10th anniversary will be held at Seoul's Sebitseom, and a 'BURST Stage' will take place at Seoul's Jamsu Bridge the day before the album release.
