The Be The Sun Tour (stylized as Seventeen World Tour Be The Sun, in all caps) was the third world concert tour headlined by South Korean boy group Seventeen.

Contents

Demonstrating significant growth in Seventeen's popularity, the tour included the group's first performances at Tokyo Dome and Kyocera Dome in Japan, as well as at the world's largest indoor arena, the Philippine Arena, where they became the first K-pop act to perform. [1]

Background

Following multiple tour cancellations as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Be The Sun tour marked Seventeen's return to concert tours following the release of Face the Sun in May 2022. The first announcement included stops in South Korea, Canada, and the United States, [2] with further stops in Southeast Asia and Japan announced later. [3]

Promotion

To commemorate the tour, Seventeen and Pledis Japan collaborated with local businesses and attractions to arrange activities for fans in the lead-up to the shows in Nagoya, Osaka, and Tokyo. [4] Events included stamp rallies, themed cafes, and photo zones, while attractions such as the Tokyo Skytree and Osaka's Hep Five Ferris Wheel were lit up in orange colours for the tour. [5]

Reception

Franchesca Judine Basbas reviewed the Seoul concerts for Bandwagon Asia, describing the concerts as "an insanely high precedent for what's to come", highlighting the live band and the group's energy throughout the four-hour performance. [6] Teta Alim reviewed the concert in Washington D.C. for the Washington Post , noting that the group lived up to their reputation, making it "impossible for any bad mood to persist during their nearly three-hour set", despite two of the group's members being absent after having contracted COVID-19. [7] Sara Delgado of Teen Vogue wrote that the group "radiated as much energy as the tour's moniker". [8]
