SEVENTEEN's Japan Debut Anniversary Performance Sparks Mixed Reactions Among K-Pop Fans
On January 28, Pledis Entertainment announced the dates and venues for the encore performances of SEVENTEEN 's FOLLOW tour. The concerts will take place in Korea and Japan , featuring the prestigious Nissan Stadium in Kanagawa, known for accommodating over 70,000 attendees and previously hosting concerts for only two other K-Pop artists (TVXQ and, later this year, TWICE).
Yet, the announcement received a mixed response, with a notable number of fans expressing disappointment and frustration regarding the chosen dates and locations for the encore tour.
The encore tour commences in Incheon, South Korea, on March 30-31 at the Incheon Asiad Main Stadium, accommodating approximately 60,000 people. Following a brief hiatus, the tour resumes on May 18-19 in Osaka at the Yanmar Stadium Nagai, concluding in Kanagawa at the aforementioned Nissan Stadium on May 25-26.
A certain level of frustration has surfaced among fans due to the fact that four out of the six encore tour days are scheduled in Japan rather than Korea. This sentiment is particularly pronounced considering that 12 out of the 20 days of the original FOLLOW tour were already held in Japan. Some fans perceive this as Pledis Entertainment prioritizing profit over the preferences of Korean Carats, particularly with the impending enlistment of SEVENTEEN's members later this year.
Adding to the discontent, what has further irked some fans is the realization that SEVENTEEN will be celebrating their ninth Korean debut anniversary on May 26 in Japan instead of Korea. The sixth Japanese debut anniversary, occurring on May 30, will only follow after the completion of the tour. This scheduling decision has intensified the disappointment among certain fans.
The issue has sparked discussions on various online forums, with numerous netizens expressing their opinions on the perceived unfairness of the encore concerts, particularly for Korean SEVENTEEN fans.
Nevertheless, not all perspectives on the situation were negative. Some netizens shared comments indicating an understanding of the decisions made by Pledis Entertainment regarding the tour.
Regardless of the varying sentiments towards Pledis Entertainment's decisions, we wish the members of SEVENTEEN a fantastic time during their encore tour!
