The high-energy dance routines, including hits like “Skyfall” and “Shake It Off,” turned the stadium into a lively celebration, further drawing the fans into the experience. Unique interactions were a key part of the shows, as members included the audience in their performances, even humorously referencing their absent bandmates with fans dressed as them.
The setlist was thoughtfully curated, featuring crowd-pleasers such as “HOT,” “Rock with You,” and “Aju Nice,” ensuring that fans remained engaged throughout the concert. Mingyu and Joshua expressed heartfelt messages of love for Los Angeles, underlining the deep connection SEVENTEEN shares with their fanbase.
