The Right Here World Tour (stylized as Seventeen [Right Here] World Tour, in all caps) was the fourth world tour by South Korean boy group Seventeen. It began on October 12, 2024, at Goyang Stadium, in South Korea, and concluded on February 16, 2025, at Rajamangala National Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
Following the conclusion of the group's eighth fan meeting in July 2024, Seventeen released a teaser for their next tour, which revealed that they would perform in South Korea, Japan, Asia, and the United States.[1] On August 6, Seventeen announced that the tour would open on October 12 at Goyang Stadium in South Korea, with the performances simultaneously streamed via Weverse.[2] The nine-show US leg was officially announced later that day.[3] The ten-show Japanese leg was announced the following day.[4] Due to demand, an additional show was added in Los Angeles.[5] A leg in Southeast Asia was announced on September 25.[6] Due to demand, additional shows were announced for Singapore, Jakarta and Bangkok.[7]
On August 12, it was announced that members Jeonghan and Jun would not be participating in the tour, due to Jeonghan enlisting in the military and Jun taking on an acting role in China. As such, the tour is being performed by the remaining eleven members of the group.[8] Still, Jeonghan made surprise appearances at the two performances in Goyang, South Korea, in the audience.[9]

In Japan, "The City" events have been organised for Nagoya, Tokyo, Osaka and Fukuoka, including stamp rallies, food trucks and pop-up stores.[16][17] The December 14 concert in Osaka was streamed live in cinemas in 60 countries across the world, with the December 15 and December 22 shows streamed on Weverse.[18]

Reception

In a positive review for Korea Joongang Daily, Yoon Seung-jin wrote that the tour's Goyang opening stop was a "sonic masterpiece, showcasing Seventeen's impeccable musicianship and undeniable stage presence."[22]
Maria Mata reviewed the tour's New York stops for Melodic Magazine, describing the concerts as "electrifying" and commending the group's charisma and confidence.[23] In a review for the San Francisco Chronicle, Todd Inoue remarked that the tour's first night in Oakland coincided with the 2024 United States presidential election, but the group immediately "assumed their roles as agents of relief". Inoue went on to describe the performance as having "flawless choreography" and an "impressive visual spectacle", but lamented the omission of fan-favorite songs such as "Hot" and "Don Quixote".[24] Mary Siroky reviewed the final US stop of the tour in Los Angeles for Consequence, commenting on the almost-decade long career of the group and how the show demonstrated their bond, their repertoire and their journey to their first performance at a stadium in the US.[25]
Nica Glorioso reviewed the tour's Bocaue stop for Nylon Manila. In her review, Glorioso noted the group's energy throughout the three hour set and the use of a live band for the encore as two of her thirteen highlights from the weekend.[26] Reviewing their Singapore concert, Belinda Poh wrote for HallyuSG that the band is a "gift that never stops giving", serving up dark, powerful and edgy performances whilst showing off their softer charms.[27] Jan Lee also reviewed the concert for The Straits Times, commending the group's development since their last show in the city in 2022. Lee cited a transition from "boisterous boys-next-door" to "bona fide superstars", that corresponded to the venue upgrade from 2022's show at Singapore Indoor Stadium to the much larger National Stadium.[28]
