SEVENTEEN Celebrates 11th Anniversary with CARAT LAND at Incheon Asiad Stadium

SEVENTEEN hosted their annual fan meeting ‘SEVENTEEN in CARAT LAND’ at Incheon Asiad Main Stadium on June 20–21, drawing approximately 58,000 fans over two days. The event also reached viewers from 98 countries and regions via online live stream, marking the group’s second consecutive stadium-scale fan meeting. The production featured an express-train concept, an aerial train carrying members across five diamond-shaped stages, plus water jets and fireworks.

The fan meeting came just over two months after the 13-member group announced their second consecutive re-signing with Pledis Entertainment during an April encore concert at the same venue. Since debuting in May 2015 with ‘Adore U’, SEVENTEEN have built a reputation for self-produced music and content, evolving into what observers call a “super platform.” Four members—Jeonghan, Wonwoo, Woozi, and Hoshi—are currently serving in the military, yet the group continues to release unit projects and maintain a steady flow of new material.

For CARATs, the 2026 fan meeting carried extra emotional weight amid ongoing military service. Dino addressed his forthcoming enlistment directly, and the members performed over 20 songs in three hours, including a revamped ‘Solo Reverse’ stage where members reinterpreted each other’s solo tracks. The event also showcased the group’s lasting bond, while upcoming unit releases from The8 & Vernon (as V8) and Dino’s alter-ego Picheol keep the momentum alive.
