On May 25th, a day before their 10th debut anniversary, SEVENTEEN made history as the first Kpop act to hold a concert on Jamsu Bridge, which is located over the iconic Han River in Seoul. The Kpop powerhouse captivated fans with a special free concert titled “B-DAY PARTY: BURST Stage” and showcased their energetic and addictive performances, accompanied by colorful lights and fireworks.
While only 6,000 lucky CARATs could win the raffle and join the concert for free, some fans rented dolly boats and yachts along the Han River to catch a glimpse of the concert, eventually catching SEVENTEEN’s attention. Some fans gathered in the nearby parks and proudly raised their glowing lightsticks (caratbong) and banners. With this, SEVENTEEN expressed their admiration and heartfelt gratitude for the fans’ immense support for the event. The BURST STAGE was also made available to the public through live streaming via Weverse and HYBE Label’s official YouTube channel.
