SEVENTEEN right here!
The K-pop group just capped off their “Right Here” in Bulacan concert over the weekend, and if there’s one thing to describe their performance it’s as blazing hot as they are!
SEVENTEEN is among the most popular K-pop groups of today’s generation, and the pink and blue sea of lights at the Philippine Sports Stadium was a testament to that.
Presented by Applewood Philippines, "Right Here" spanned all of three hours with SEVENTEEN performing 23 songs from their wide range of discography. Fans are not only seated for their powerful songs and vocal prowess, but also for their visuals and charisma that unraveled their different sides.
The high energy of Carats served as welcoming committee, as they scream their lungs out every time a member appears on the LED screen, and as the band appeared on stage, their chants became louder, if that's even possible.
SEVENTEEN opened their Bulacan show with a powerful performance of “Fear,” and was quickly followed by “Fearless” and “Maestro"
When it was the time for their much-awaited ment, the crowd became more hyped as the members thanked Filo Carats for coming and expressed how much they miss them.
Hoshi greeted his beloved fans in the most Hoshi way, doing his signature “horanghae” pose to the delight of the crowd.
Of course, what’s a SEVENTEEN concert without a performance from their sub-units?
Showing their grungy side, the hip-hop team of S.Coups, Mingyu, Wonwoo and Vernon set the stadium on fire with their performance of "Water" and "Monster."
Meanwhile, the performance team of Hoshi, Dino and The8 showed why they are among the group's best dancers with their "Rain" and "Lilili Yabbay" dance numbers.
The group's vocal team of Woozi, DK, Joshua and Seungkwan serenaded Carats with their songs "Candy" and "Cheers to Youth."
As the show reached its climax, SEVENTEEN delivered a nerve-wracking performance of their smash hit “Super” that lit the sky of Bocaue, Bulacan with fireworks.
SEVENTEEN continued to serve not just looks but also strong vocal abilities with their songs “Adore U,” “‘Bout You,” and “Campire.”
Before saying goodbye to Carats, SEVENTEEN couldn’t help but turn a little bit sentimental.
“We really have good memories about the Philippines. I’m truly touched by the huge, passionate energy you give,” Woozi said.
The group's leader S.Coups said he hopes SEVENTEEN will come back in the same place again as 13 members.
"After 10 years, I am very, very happy that we are artists, singers who can fill this kind of stadium. Although we are not 13 right now, I really, really hope there will come a time when we can fill this kind of venue again," he said.
Only 11 members were present for the Bulacan show; Jeonghan and Jun have skipped the entire world tour for their individual activities.
Carats also made sure to leave a memory to remember for Seungkwan. During Seungkwan’s speech, fans greeted him, a happy birthday as he turned a year older on January 16.
In return, the K-pop idol can't help but turn emotional, saying he was "touched" by this sweet gesture.
After some heartwarming moments with the fans, SEVENTEEN got back on track and turned the stadium into a party as they sang their most-awaited song “Very Nice,” leaving every Carats at the edge of their seat, and a memory that will surely last for a lifetime.
SEVENTEEN’s two-night show in Bulacan is part of the Asian leg of their “Right Here” world tour which kicked off in South Korea in October 2024.
