SEVENTEEN is making bold moves on the global stage.

From March to May of this year, SEVENTEEN held their stadium tour "FOLLOW AGAIN" in Korea and Japan, performing eight shows in four locations.

Their first performance was at the Incheon Asian Games Main Stadium, followed by the Seoul World Cup Stadium, Osaka's Yanmar Stadium Nagai, and Kanagawa's Nissan Stadium.

Notably, the Nissan Stadium is Japan's largest venue, capable of holding over 70,000 spectators. SEVENTEEN became the second K-pop act to hold a solo concert there.

Their popularity in Japan was evident, with over 2.8 million applications for "FOLLOW AGAIN" ticket lotteries, showcasing their immense ticket power.

They also dominated the album market. Their best album "17 Is Right Here" achieved triple million-seller status and ranked second on Billboard Japan's "First Half of the Year Chart."

Their unit activities concluded successfully as well. Jeonghan and Wonwoo's single debut "This Man" sold more than 780,000 copies in its first week, making it the best-selling release by a K-pop unit group.

SEVENTEEN also set several first-time records for K-pop artists. On June 26, they were appointed as "UNESCO Youth Goodwill Ambassadors" at UNESCO headquarters in Paris, France.

That's not all. On June 28, SEVENTEEN graced the main stage of the UK's "Glastonbury" festival, becoming the first Korean artists to participate in the festival.

They have a busy second half of the year ahead. On July 3, they will appear on Japan's Fuji TV "FNS Music Festival." From July 23 to 25, they will host their fan meeting "SEVENTEEN IN CARAT LAND" in Seoul.

They are also scheduled for major festivals. In September, they will headline "Lollapalooza Berlin." Following that, they plan to release a new album and go on tour.

Their agency stated, "SEVENTEEN is preparing a variety of activities," and added, "Please look forward to their performances, as this year will be filled with SEVENTEEN's achievements."
