To thank fans for their support over the years, the group held a free showcase concert at Jamsu Bridge in Seoul, South Korea. The location, typically used for traffic and pedestrians, had never hosted an event of this scale before.
Around 10,000 fans, known as CARATs, gathered to enjoy the performance. They were seated on rows of plastic chairs lined up along the bridge. Despite the large crowd and the limited exit space, fans took the initiative to help one another when the event ended.
Instead of waiting for staff to clear the area, many CARATs began stacking the chairs themselves. This thoughtful act helped free up the narrow middle aisles, allowing everyone to leave more smoothly and safely. It was a small but meaningful display of teamwork and consideration.
What impressed onlookers even more was the cleanliness of the area after the concert. Fans not only took care of the chairs but also made sure there was no rubbish left behind. Many shared that they helped clean up before leaving, showing pride in keeping the space tidy.
Online users praised CARATs for their behaviour, saying the fans showed incredible responsibility. One person noted that the fans did a better job than the event staff, while others called them amazing and respectful. The overall impression was that the crowd acted like model citizens.
SEVENTEEN’s 10th anniversary concert wasn’t just a musical celebration. It was also a reminder of the strong bond between the group and their fans, built on respect, kindness, and shared joy.
Happy 10th anniversary, SEVENTEEN. Here's to many more years of music, memories, and moments that bring people together.
