Seventeen painted Singapore's landmark in their signature colors. Marina Bay Sands is a world-renowned tourist attraction, and this is its first collaboration with a K-pop artist. Seventeen held an Asia tour concert at Singapore National Stadium on the 25th and 26th. At the same time, the exteriors of Marina Bay Sands' main buildings were illuminated with Rose Quartz and Serenity colors.
Rose Quartz and Serenity are Seventeen's signature colors. "CARATs" (the fandom name) witnessed the illumination event and shared photos of Marina Bay Sands on SNS, expressing reactions like "The world welcomes Seventeen" and "It's beautiful." This event was part of 'The Wonderland with Seventeen.' 'The Wonderland with Seventeen' is an event designed for fan participation.
Famous food and beverage brands located in Marina Bay Sands launched special menus using Seventeen's official colors and logo. Images promoting the event were displayed on the digital screens inside the hotel lobby and buildings. A portion of the music video for the title track 'Love, Money, Fame' (feat. DJ Khaled) from their mini 12th album was also showcased, capturing the attention of fans and tourists.
The concert was equally fulfilling. Seventeen performed hit songs such as 'Love, Money, Fame,' 'Maestro,' 'God of Music,' and 'Sonogong,' keeping the audience engaged with unique unit performances for three hours. The local media also praised the performance. Singapore's largest daily, 'The Straits Times,' commented that the concert was "on a much grander scale, and the members have matured further."
'The Straits Times' extolled, "Seventeen has always been perfect performers. Their performance and live singing remain exceptional, with increased confidence and conviction." 'CNA Lifestyle' added, "Seventeen are masterful performers, infectious energy spreading to the audience. Their charisma and wit transcended language barriers."
Seventeen's 'Light Here World Tour in Asia' kicked off on the 18th and 19th at the Philippine Sports Stadium. It is scheduled to take place at Jakarta International Stadium on February 8th and 9th, and continue at Bangkok's Rajamangala National Stadium on February 15th and 16th.
Meanwhile, Seventeen has been nominated for the 'iHeartRadio Music Awards' in the U.S. for the second consecutive year. Their song 'Maestro' is a contender in the 'Favorite K-pop Dance Challenge' category. The award ceremony will take place at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, USA, on March 15th (local time).
