English word “DILYN” translates to ‘to follow’, which serves as the title for Seventeen’s upcoming tour. Pledis Entertainment, their agency, explained that this title conveys Seventeen’s progression towards a brighter and broader future, moving forward as Team Seventeen with Carat, their dedicated fandom, based on their positive values. Despite a lengthy explanation, the members summed it up succinctly with the phrase “Follow me!” Carats, who filled the Gocheok Dome, displayed their trust and loyalty by following Seventeen, eager to immerse themselves in the new world of captivating performances.
Seventeen recently held their ‘SEVENTEEN TOUR’ FOLLOW-UP ‘TO SEOUL’ at Gocheok Sky Dome on July 23 and 24. It has been around 13 months since their last performance in Seoul, which was the ‘SEVENTEEN WORLD TOUR: BE THE SUN’ in June of the previous year. This time, the performance was not only conducted offline but also live-streamed online, allowing fans who couldn’t attend to enjoy the spectacle.
However, member Seungkwan did not participate in the performance that day. Seungkwan took a temporary break from all activities for the past three days upon medical advice advocating for stability and sufficient rest. Despite his absence, Seventeen and their dedicated Carats did not forget Seungkwan’s presence. Mingyu revealed, “Seungkwan came and watched the concert yesterday.” Additionally, during The8’s segment, the fans fervently shouted “Seungkwan!” Furthermore, Seungkwan’s image appeared repeatedly in the released VCR midway through the performance, ensuring his continued involvement in spirit.

The performance commenced with the title track of their 10th mini album, ‘Son Oh Gong’. Subsequently, Seventeen’s captivating energy permeated through tracks like ‘DON QUIXOTE’ and ‘Applause’ during the opening. Naturally, Carats reciprocated with equal fervor. The heartfelt tunes of ‘I Don’t Want to Cry’, ‘F*uck My Life’, and ‘Thank You’ followed, but the intensity never waned easily.
The eye-catching unit stages provided a refreshing diversion. The vocal unit’s emotional performances of ‘Llwch’ and ‘Pinwheel’ struck a chord, while the performance unit commanded the stage with powerful routines in ‘HIGHLIGHT’ and ‘I Don’t Understanding But I Luv U’. The hip-hop unit’s fiery acts in ‘Back it up’ and ‘Tân’ immediately elevated the ambiance.
As Carats trusted and followed Seventeen, who promised to lead them and be their guiding light, an enchanting “new world” unfurled before their eyes. The stages for ‘Home Run’, ‘Left & Right’, ‘BEAUTIFUL’, and ‘Adore’ transformed into exhilarating festivals. Meanwhile, ‘Cawod April’ and ‘Adult Child’ evoked a poignant sensibility never experienced before. The stages of ‘Anyone’, ‘Good to Me’, and ‘HOT’ overwhelmed everyone with their grandeur and powerful performances.

Notably, the stage equipment underwent significant upgrades to match the grand scale of the event. Various state-of-the-art technologies, including an LED screen 1.5 times larger than their previous Seoul performance, were incorporated. The central circular lift assumed distinct forms while other equipment, such as an unfolding flower path and a grand lift truck, added enchantment to the overall performance.
Even the extended encore stage failed to quell the fervor. Seventeen captivated the audience with their energetic encores, including ‘I’m looking for you now’, ‘Vortex’, and ‘HIT’, performed on a stage closer to their dedicated fans. As the final notes of ‘Very Nice’ resonated, the time had come to bid farewell to Seventeen. Throughout the performance, Seventeen’s resolute call of “Follow me” validated their unwavering confidence onstage.
Following their Seoul showcase, Seventeen will embark on their ‘SEVENTEEN TOUR’ FOLLOWING ‘TO JAPAN’, touring five cities in Japan. Notably, they will grace Tokyo Dome on September 6-7, Berna Dome on November 23-24, Vantelim Dome Nagoya on November 30 and December 2-3, Kyocera Dome Osaka on December 7 and 9-10, and Pay Dome from December 6-10.
