SEVENTEEN kicks off 2025 with a two-night 'RIGHT HERE' show in the Philippines

A year after their two sold-out stadium shows in the Philippines, K-pop icon SEVENTEEN returned to the iconic Philippine Sports Stadium for a two-day showstopping concert on January 18 and 19. This marks the beginning of the highly anticipated Asia leg of their globe-storming tour ‘SEVENTEEN [RIGHT HERE] WORLD TOUR’ (hereinafter ‘RIGHT HERE’).

Since launching with two sold-out shows in October 2024 in Korea, ‘RIGHT HERE’ swept across five cities in the U.S. and four cities in Japan, drawing an audience of over 700,000 in attendance, both in-person and online.

On Saturday night, SEVENTEEN arrived on the Philippine stage with a dynamic 3-hour set full of massive hits and beloved deep cuts from their celebrated discography. With a powerful opening sequence that comprises high-energy tracks “Fear,” “Fearless,” and “MAESTRO,” SEVENTEEN immediately drew the audience into their transformation from past struggles to a triumph as the “maestro” artists, setting the tone for an emotional journey their performances would entail.

A surprise moment came during the opening ment, when BSS’ new track “CBZ (Prime time)” suddenly kicked in and the trio performed the chorus live for the first time at a concert for their Filipino fans. This was a perfect prelude to the following performances, which transitioned into a burst of colorful energy as SEVENTEEN’s three units—hip-hop, performance, and vocal—each stepped out to perform their respective tracks including “Water,” “Rain,” and “Candy,” clearly displaying what sets SEVENTEEN apart as a team based on the interplay of the different units. The band then trilled the audience with a well-blended combination of humor and creativity, featuring upbeat tracks like “Snap Shoot” and “God of Music” in a jungle-themed musical-esque skit inspired by their popular YouTube series ‘Going Seventeen.’

As the show neared the end, SEVENTEEN gathered at the center of the stage to express their gratitude to their fans, CARATs. Reflecting on the memorable moments of the night, WOOZI said, “We’ve always had such good memories in the Philippines. We're always touched by your big, passionate energy. Thank you so much.” S.COUPS shared his heartfelt words, “First of all, I'm thankful to be here with everyone. I’m so happy to be an artist who can fill a venue like this as we approach our 10th year. Although we are not 13 right now, I hope we can come back here as 13 again. We’ll try to come see you often wherever we get the chance, so please continue to show us love and support. I love you.”

Including their upcoming shows in Singapore (January 25 & 26), ‘RIGHT HERE’ will continue to Jakarta (February 8 & 9) before wrapping up the 4-month world tour in Bangkok (February 15 & 16).
