SEVENTEEN Shined Bright Like a Diamond at 2017 SEVENTEEN 1st World Tour “Diamond Edge” in Kuala Lumpur
KUALA LUMPUR, 9th September 2017 – Thirteen-member K-pop group, SEVENTEEN was in Malaysia last Saturday for 2017 SEVENTEEN 1st World Tour “Diamond Edge” in Kuala Lumpur. MKF Team was at the show too and we had lots of fun with Malaysian CARATs. It was such a beautiful night with CARAT Bongs lighting up the whole arena of Stadium Negara.
As soon as the lights went off, CARATs chanted to “SEVENTEEN” continuously before SEVENTEEN members emerge on stage to welcome their fans that they dearly regard as ‘CARAT’ to their show for the night with colourful suits. They performed the first song, “Prettu U”, “Beautiful” and “Adore U”. For your information, SEVENTEEN received their first win on a music show with "Pretty U", and the album helped SEVENTEEN onto Gaon's 2016 half-yearly physical album charts as the highest charting rookie group on the list. Frankly speaking, the first song of the show itself is iconic!
The members introduced themselves one by one afterwards. Member Hoshi who is known for his 10:10 eyes tried to hype up the fans by asking them to chant “wangjanim” in Korean which means “my prince” before opening his signature introduction, “What time? Hoshi time”.
They also performed “Still Lonely” and “Very Nice”. Jeonghan did not miss the chance to throw some flying kisses to CARATs during “Very Nice” performance.
After SEVENTEEN’s high school VCR, they were back on stage with high school outfits to perform their catchy bop “Mansae” complete with the props just like in the music video! (MKF Team: SEVENTEEN senpai~~~ please guide us!)
Vernon and Hoshi suddenly appeared on stage with sports camera after “Boom Boom”. They competed with CARATs for High Notes Game. We could tell that their fans really adore and crazily in love with them. Vernon also danced to "I'm The One" by DJ Khalid and Hoshi praised him for being handsome. SEVENTEEN member Vernon (full name Hansol Vernon Chwe) instantly became popular back then for being Leonardo DiCaprio’s doppelganger.
SEVENTEEN is known for their unique units division among the members in the group. So this time, they did not miss the chance to showcase each unit’s amazing talent throughout the concert. We were there to experience all kind of charms of the members through this unit performance of Vocal Unit, Hip Hop Unit and Performance Unit! We were hooked to SEVENTEEN’s Hip Hop Unit for their bop tracks and swags on stage.
Another highlight of the night is SEVENTEEN’s “China line”, Jun and The8 duo’s performance of “My I” which staged the symbolic dance of string of fate. We could really feel a deep connection between the lyrics and every dance step of the song and we figured out that these talented duo also took part in writing the meaningful lyrics of the song themselves.
SEVENTEEN also performed everyone’s favourite track, “Don’t Wanna Cry” for the last song before encore stage. After the encore stage, SEVENTEEN sit down to talk to their beloved CARATs. Leader S.coups who charmed the fans with his sweaty look shared that it’s their first time in Kuala Lumpur and the atmosphere is good. “I’m happy that you guys are lifting up the banner during the encore stage”, he added. They promised the fans to return with great songs. He finally ended his speech by telling the fans that “We will always become the SEVENTEEN that you guys wished for. Eventhough we’re far apart but we’re always together”.
