SEVENTEEN’s Decade: The Beginning and Now

It’s already been 10 years since SEVENTEEN debuted… 🥹 Time really flies. They debuted in 2015 under Pledis Entertainment with the concept of ‘self-producing idols’ and garnered a lot of attention. Back then, it was hard to believe they could last 10 years, but they have now become a representative group of K-POP… Time really flies, doesn’t it? Hehe.

Especially for this 10th anniversary, the events held all around Seoul were truly spectacular. The members expressed their gratitude by saying, “Thanks to our fans, we could celebrate 10 years together,” which must have been a moving moment for the fans 💕.

Looking Back at SEVENTEEN’s Journey through ‘B-DAY PARTY’

The ‘B-DAY PARTY’ held at Sebitseom from May 23 to 25 was an absolute hit! 🎯 The ‘SEVENTEEN History Zone’ allowed fans to see their journey from debut to the present at a glance. Watching old clips brought back so many memories… The corner comparing early performances with recent ones almost made me tear up ㅠㅠ.

In the ‘Interactive Message Zone,’ fans could leave congratulatory messages for the members, and it was so popular that messages filled up in just one day. A friend of mine participated and wrote a heartfelt message saying, “Thanks to SEVENTEEN, I overcame tough times.” The bond between fans and artists seems truly special ✨.

An Extraordinary Performance Along the Han River

On the night of the 25th, the performance at the Banpo Han River Park’s underwater bridge was… indescribably amazing! 🎇 To think they were the first K-POP artists to hold such a large-scale concert on the Han River, truly SEVENTEEN-style. With a large LED screen broadcasting live, fans could enjoy the event online, and I’m sure international fans must have gone wild 🌍.

Particularly, the performance of ‘Very NICE’ was absolutely breathtaking! SEVENTEEN’s energetic presentation against the backdrop of the Han River felt like watching a movie. People around me kept saying, “Wow… that’s incredible,” haha. You can check out the concert footage on SEVENTEEN’s official YouTube channel, so make sure to watch it!

Creating Cherished Memories with Fans

The most impressive aspect of SEVENTEEN’s 10th anniversary event was definitely the interaction with fans. It wasn’t just about putting on a show, but creating a genuinely warm atmosphere of celebration with the fans. Especially in the ‘Fan Letter Zone,’ we could see letters written by members to fans, and the thoughtful messages really warmed my heart 💌.

The photo zones set up throughout the event were also a hit! Fans could take pictures in front of backgrounds featuring lyrics from SEVENTEEN’s popular songs, and seeing those joyful selfies on social media made it clear how happy everyone was. There was a sense of pride in saying, “We’ve spent these 10 years together with SEVENTEEN” 📸.

SEVENTEEN’s New Possibilities in K-POP

SEVENTEEN’s 10th anniversary event seemed to showcase new possibilities for K-POP beyond just a celebratory event. Moving away from traditional concert formats, the event utilized the entire city as its stage, which was truly innovative. Particularly, the performance along the Han River will likely remain a memorable moment in K-POP history 🌟.

Through this event, SEVENTEEN once again proved their title as ‘self-producing idols.’ Since the members contributed ideas and participated in everything from planning to execution, isn’t that impressive? I look forward to SEVENTEEN continuing to expand the horizons of K-POP 🔥.
