Seventeen concluded their 'Seventeen World Tour ‘NEW_’ in the U.S.' on October 31 (KST) with a final show at Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C.
Over the past three weeks, the group performed nine concerts across five cities, starting in Tacoma and continuing through Los Angeles, Austin, and Sunrise, before ending their journey in Washington, D.C.
The finale was a three-hour spectacle featuring 30 songs that showcased Seventeen’s wide musical spectrum. Along with powerful group performances, the members treated fans to unit stages and solo live songs.
“We’re so happy and grateful to meet you during one of the most meaningful times of our lives,” Seventeen said. “Thank you for being part of our journey.” They added, “We hope the genuine bond between Seventeen and Carats continues forever. We’ll be back next time with all 13 members together.”
International media outlets praised the tour enthusiastically. Billboard described 'NEW_' as “a completely new concert filled with heat and catharsis.” The Hollywood Reporter wrote, “The energetic stages unfolded non-stop, and the members’ sincerity made the experience even more special for the audience.”
Bandwagon highlighted that Seventeen “broadened the horizons of K-pop concerts,” while Just Jared called the tour “a turning point that opens a new era for Seventeen.”
Seventeen also achieved remarkable success in the U.S. this year. Their fifth studio album 'HAPPY BURSTDAY' debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200. Additionally, the unit S.Coups x Mingyu broke records with their first mini album 'HYPE VIBES,' marking the highest-ranking K-pop unit album on the same chart.
The group will continue their world tour in Japan, performing at Vantelin Dome Nagoya on November 27, 29, and 30.
