Seventeen, the renowned K-pop sensation, electrified the Singapore National Stadium with a spectacular performance on Saturday, January 25. As part of their "Seventeen Right Here World Tour," this show marked a significant highlight in what has become their fourth global tour. Despite the absence of two members, the group captivated the audience with an unforgettable visual spectacle and dynamic energy that left fans exhilarated.
The group, whose name symbolizes the unison of 13 members, three sub-units, and their cohesive identity as one entity, delivered a performance that underscored their global appeal. Their stop in Singapore is one of several in the region, with other performances scheduled in the Philippines, Thailand, and Indonesia. The concert featured an impressive stage production, complete with multiple confetti drops and pyrotechnics that illuminated the stadium, enhancing the visual experience for the audience.
Fans eagerly anticipated Seventeen's grand entrance, erupting into cheers as the group took to the stage. Among the crowd was Momo, a dedicated fan from Japan, who expressed her joy at witnessing another of Seventeen's performances in Singapore, having attended their previous concert in 2022.
"Thank you for filling up such a large concert hall. Love you lah! When I first came to Singapore, I was shioked when I tasted chilli crab. It was very delicious. It was so shocking."

Seventeen is no stranger to making history; they were the first-ever K-pop band to perform on the iconic Pyramid Stage at England's Glastonbury Festival last year. Furthermore, they were recently appointed UNESCO’s first-ever Goodwill Ambassador For Youth, a testament to their influence and positive impact on young people globally.
For those new to the world of K-pop, such as one writer in attendance, the concert offered an exhilarating introduction to Seventeen's style and energy. The group's performance drew comparisons to Blackpink’s show in May 2023, highlighting their ability to engage and energize their audience similarly. Their playful use of Singlish during the concert further endeared them to local fans, adding a personal touch to their interactions.
The evening was not just about music; it was an embodiment of cultural exchange and connection. Fans across generations and backgrounds came together to celebrate a shared love for Seventeen’s music and artistry.
