SEVENTEEN's Twitter
SEVENTEEN is a globally renowned boy group that brings K-Pop fans iconic music and performances every single time. Kpopmap had the pleasure of covering the "SEVENTEEN in CARAT LAND" online fanmeeting on Mar. 27, 2022. Here is everything you need to know.
The SEVENTEEN members came onto the stage with their explosive energy performing ‘Shining Diamond’ and polishing the glows of excitement from CARAT (their fandom). Members S.Coups, JeongHan, Joshua, Jun, Hoshi, WonWoo, Woozi, DK, MinGyu, THE8, SeungKwan, Vernon, and Dino lit up the stage with their shining auras.

After a hot opening performance, the members delivered a warm greeting to their fans who were watching both in-person and online.
One of the best parts of the streaming experience was the ability to watch the performance using multiple cameras, meaning you could get a good look at each member.

As fans were not allowed to shout or chant, they made noise for the members using SEVENTEEN's special sogo drums (a traditional handheld Korean drum). Hoshi especially made the fans feel special with an epic greeting where the fans had to use their sogo drums to make noise depending on their seating area, building anticipation for the show. Dino also made cute drumming rhythms for the fans to keep them engaged. Not to mention the collective “SEVENTEEN! clap, clap, in CARAT LAND” chant as well.
SEVENTEEN then performed a thrilling performance of ‘HOME;RUN’ that was so exciting that it had you dancing in your seat.
Next, it was time for the games corner MCed by Woozi. Woozi was ever-charismatic and even created a rule that to answer questions the members had to say “Woozi, I Woo U” in a loving way.

The first game, "Made with CARAT", involved guessing old facts about SEVENTEEN such as keywords, choreography, etc. Fans even got to see their old opening choreography as one of the quiz answers.

One of the cutest moments from the quiz was when the members had to guess words that CARAT use in the fandom and one of the fan chants of 'Getting Closer' using their full names.
'Getting Coser' is known for being a legendary fan chant due to its difficulty level. The fan chant challenge was a bit of chaotic fun as the members couldn’t get it quite right and had to use all sorts of tricks to guess it. They tried getting the members to stand in the correct order, JeongHan tried to get help from CARATs, and the members even tried to use a script but still couldn’t figure it out. However, watching the members try to guess it was hilarious.
SEVENTEEN performed 'RUN TO YOU' next and the performance felt like the excitement that comes with spring. The stage even had petals and confetti coming down on them.
On the topic of spring, they sang ‘Fallin’ Flower’ next. The performance was majestic as the members showed off their synchronized dance moves once again.

For the second variety corner, SeungKwan (with his honorary doctorate in K-Pop) took on the role of MC.
They had to match the B-Sides of 3 tracklists and the winner became the leader of a team. Dino became the leader of team S, V team’s leader was THE8, and T team’s leader was Hoshi.
After the leaders chose their teammates, S Team consisted of Dino, MinGyu, Vernon, and WonWoo, V team was made up of THE8, Jun, S.Coups, and DK. Whereas, T Team was Hoshi, Joshua, JeongHan, and Woozi.
They did a K-Pop consonant quiz where they had to guess the song based on syllables then also successfully complete the dance. We got to see creative cover performances of TWICE’s ‘Alcohol-Free’ (for which the members jokingly performed the alcohol-filled version), IVE’s ‘ELEVEN’, and ITZY’s 'In the morning’ (for which the T Team mimicked the mafia game).

SEVENTEEN then had to listen to voice dictations of their Korean lyrics in English and guess which song’s verse it was and sing that verse precisely.
As penalities, S.Coups performed ‘Rollercoaster’ by ChungHa, WonWoo performed ‘Dumb Dumb’ by Jeon SoMi, DK performed ‘Solo’ by BLACKPINK’s Jennie, and MinGyu performed ‘Bon Voyage’ by OH MY GIRL’s YooA. These are songs that the members think don’t suit them but they only proved that they can perform any song and make it look cool.

As part of the last show, members who hadn’t performed any of the penalty performances over the three days that the fanmeeting was held, also performed their songs. SeungKwan performed ‘Spider’ by Hoshi, Vernon performed ‘Weekend’ by Girls’ Generation’s TaeYeon, Dino performed ‘LALISA’ by BLACKPINK’s Lisa, and Jun performed ‘CROOKED' by G-Dragon.
They also performed sub-unit stages such as ‘AH! LOVE’, ‘Light a Flame’, ‘HEY BUDDY’, and ‘Do Re Mi’.
SEVENTEEN ended off the fanmeeting by performing ‘Rock with you’. It was like the cherry on top of the meaningful hours fans got to spend laughing and dancing with them.

The boys performed an encore song, ‘Smile Flower’, truly finishing off on an emotional note that made CARATs’ hearts swell.
The members then shared their thoughts about the fanmeeting and being able to finally meet fans in person for the first time in a while. They shared their gratitude for CARAT staying by their side over the years and especially when they couldn’t meet for a long time due to the current global climate.
With a warm hug among the members and final final performance of the songs ‘BEAUTIFUL’, ‘VERY NICE’, and ‘Clap’, CARAT were able to seal the precious memory into their hearts forever.
