VERY NICE Energy: SEVENTEEN Proves Why They’re Unstoppable

Being a KPOP fan for over half my life has brought me some of the most joyous and unforgettable memories. What’s so special about being part of such a thriving and growing community is the music and of course the artists themselves. This was my first time seeing SEVENTEEN live and their energy reminded me of what concerts should be about.

I came in knowing only a little about them but I was well aware of their popularity and they absolutely lived up to the hype. Hearing iconic songs like HOT, Highlight, HIT, Rock With You and of course VERY NICE live was such a thrill! I also discovered new favorites including SOS, F*ck My Life, LOVE MONEY FAME, Darl+ing and Eyes On You. Out of all their group performances, SOS stood out the most for me because it completely matched my taste in music.

After the group performances came one of my favorite parts of the show, the solo stages. They gave newcomers like me a closer and more personal look at each member’s personality and style. My favorite solos were Dino’s Trigger and Jun’s Gemini. Seungkwan and Joshua delivered beautiful emotional performances while The 8, Mingyu and S.Coups brought incredible energy to the stage. Vernon’s performance featuring him playing the guitar was a standout moment.

During the encore, I was thrilled to hear Our Dawn is Hotter than Day, one of the first SEVENTEEN songs I ever listened to and still one of my favorites from them.

Beyond the music itself, what really struck me was SEVENTEEN’s infectious energy and their genuine connection with fans. Their fanservice was among the best I’ve ever seen. One of my favorite moments was when the members invited audience members to sing along with them during VERY NICE, it was such a fun and heartwarming experience. It was also my first time seeing the “carts” when the members traveled around the entire stadium to greet fans from every section. Small gestures like that made the concert feel inclusive and personal for everyone in attendance.

If you’re looking for an unforgettable concert filled with amazing performances, fun interactions and pure energy, SEVENTEEN is a group you need to see live whether you’re a Carat or not. Unfortunately I didn’t get to experience the full lineup since Hoshi, Wonwoo, Woozi and Jeonghan are currently enlisted (and they were definitely missed). But I can proudly say that I’m now officially a Carat and I’ll definitely be there for their next tour hoping to see all thirteen members together again.

And my bias? Dino!
