SEVENTEEN Turns Hong Kong Into a K-pop Wonderland
For two unforgettable nights, SEVENTEEN transformed Hong Kong into a giant fan zone. On September 27 and 28, the group rocked the brand-new Kai Tak Sports Park with their SEVENTEEN WORLD TOUR [NEW_] IN HONG KONG, pulling in a whopping 72,600 fans.
Tickets? Gone in a flash—including all restricted-view seats. That’s some serious ticket power. Hong Kong hadn’t seen a SEVENTEEN solo concert in seven years, and judging by the feverish welcome, the time only made hearts grow fonder.
Emotional Performances, Local Tunes, and a Jackie Chan Hug Fest
SEVENTEEN didn’t just bring their A-game—they played it in every language. The group performed hits from their fifth full album like “THUNDER,” solo tracks, and even a touching Chinese song titled “The Meaning of Encounter (相遇的意义).”
Members DK and Seungkwan gave fans chills with a spontaneous duet of local ballad “The Last Fireworks of Summer Night (夏夜最後的煙火).” And just when you thought the night couldn’t get more epic, Jackie Chan made a surprise appearance, hugging each member and performing “A True Hero (真心英雄)” on stage. Goosebumps? Definitely.
“CARATIA” Festival and a Drone Show Like No Other
To hype up the concert, Hong Kong hosted “CARATIA,” a jaw-dropping fan fest that ran from September 16 to 27. The main event? A massive drone show at Wan Chai’s Harbourfront Park—a K-pop first for the venue. Over four shows in three days, drones painted the skyline with the SEVENTEEN logo, fan-favorite diamond symbols, and even silhouettes of all 13 members. Cue the cheers… and over 40,000 posts on social media under #克拉境.
Luxury Hotels, Pop-Ups, and a Whole Lot of Merch
The Peninsula Hong Kong lit up the city—literally—with SEVENTEEN’s signature colors for their first-ever K-pop collab. In under 30 minutes, all 700+ themed hotel rooms were booked. Fans also rushed to a pop-up store featuring Bonbong-ie (the group’s lightstick-inspired mascot) plushies designed in partnership with TeddyTales. The result? 16,000 visitors and lines longer than a BTS encore.
A stamp rally attracted 13,000 participants who aimed to collect up to 20,000 limited-edition stamps. It wasn’t just a concert—it was a full-blown pilgrimage.
Even the Ferries and Cable Cars Got a SEVENTEEN Makeover
From trams wrapped in tour visuals to a SEVENTEEN-themed afternoon tea on the city’s iconic Star Ferry, the whole city was singing one tune. Over at Star Street, the group’s playful MINITEEN characters were on display. Even the Ngong Ping 360 cable cars got a K-pop facelift.
Up Next: North America and Dome Dreams
SEVENTEEN is just getting warmed up. Their world tour hits five U.S. cities next, with Japan Dome performances lined up for November and December. CARATs worldwide—get your lightsticks ready.
