    SEVENTEEN (S.Coups, Jeonghan, Joshua, Jun, Hoshi, Wonwoo, Woozi, The8, Mingyu, DK, Seungkwan, Vernon, Dino) brought unforgettable energy to New York as fans filled the UBS Arena with passionate Korean chants.

    CARATs gathered in the SoHo district and Times Square to celebrate SEVENTEEN’s arrival with special events, turning the city into a fan-filled festival.

    On October 25 and 27, SEVENTEEN’s [RIGHT HERE] WORLD TOUR IN US took over New York with two sold-out concerts, showing their massive popularity in the U.S. For almost three hours, they performed an exciting lineup of 22 songs that kept fans thrilled from start to finish.

    The concert kicked off with SEVENTEEN’s powerful hits like "Fear," "Fearless," and "MAESTRO," setting a high-energy mood. They showcased their musical versatility, going from intense tracks like "Ash" and "Crush" to fun songs like "Oh My!" and "Snap Shoot."

    Fans cheered loudly as SEVENTEEN performed "LOVE, MONEY, FAME (feat. DJ Khaled)" from their new mini-album, SPILL THE FEELS, made especially for North American CARATs. The encore song "VERY NICE" turned into a lively celebration, with fans chanting along.

    During the concert, SEVENTEEN shared heartfelt words with fans: "It feels like a miracle to meet all of you here in New York. Seeing this big venue filled with CARATs is amazing. We’ll work hard to wrap up our North American tour with a bang! When we come back to New York with all 13 members, let’s meet again.”

    Outside the UBS Arena, CARATs from all over the world joined in a “CARAT festival.” The area was buzzing with SEVENTEEN-themed activities, with food trucks playing SEVENTEEN’s videos, fans dressed up in SEVENTEEN-inspired outfits, and even people playing games from SEVENTEEN’s Going SEVENTEEN series. Fans shouted “Horangihae,” a fan phrase meaning "I love you like a tiger," as excitement filled the air.

    The SEVENTEEN celebration extended into SoHo and Times Square. Spotify’s "CARAT Station NYC" pop-up in SoHo attracted a huge line, and fans enjoyed a flash mob dancing to "LOVE, MONEY, FAME (feat. DJ Khaled)" as part of the CARAT WORLD event, drawing locals and tourists.

    SEVENTEEN’s tour continues in Texas, Oakland, and Los Angeles, with almost every U.S. show sold out. Afterward, they’ll head to Japan and other major Asian cities for the next stops on their [RIGHT HERE] WORLD TOUR, giving CARATs worldwide a chance to experience their incredible energy.
