In front of more than 50,000 CARATs, Seungkwan recalls how SEVENTEEN’s first show in the Philippines had roughly only a thousand attendees.
Just two months after their sold-out two-night show at the Mall of Asia Arena in October, boy group SEVENTEEN returned to the Philippines on Saturday, December 17 – making history as the first solo K-pop act to headline a show at the world’s largest indoor arena.
The unit performances – especially those of “Wave” and hip-hop unit “Back It Up” – were made even more captivating with the addition of back-up dancers Team AURA and Team SAME, who weren’t present in the group’s Manila concerts. A mammoth crowd of Filipino CARATs also sang along to vocal unit’s “Imperfect Love,” and when the crowd belted out the lyrics to Joshua and Vernon’s “2 Minus 1,” it gave us goosebumps.
Member Seungkwan paid homage to how Filipino fans have become a part of that growth. In one of his ments, Seungkwan recalled that there were roughly only a thousand participants at SEVENTEEN’s first fan meeting in the Philippines – the“I remember the last time when we had our first concert here in the Philippines.… I think it was less than a thousand fans. But right now, you guys are like more than 40,000 people here.… You guys came just to see us,” he said.
All of that came to fruition when the SEVENTEEN members kept on commending the crowd’s energy: “You should be the one receiving energy from us, but we’re getting so much energy from you guys,” Joshua said.
