The group SEVENTEEN heated up Hong Kong and revealed the behind-the-scenes story of their world tour 'NEW_'.

A video released on SEVENTEEN's official YouTube channel on the 21st captured the excitement and passion of the members as they returned to Hong Kong after approximately seven years. The members were amazed by the increased scale of the concert venue, which they visited for the first time since their 2018 'Ideal Cut' tour.

In the video, the members marveled from the rehearsal stage, saying, "The venue is really great," and expressed their determination, noting, "I'm really looking forward to today's performance" after seeing the explosive reaction from fans during the soundcheck. In particular, local members JUN and THE 8 took the lead in speaking during this concert, communicating more deeply with local fans and enhancing the overall quality of the show.

After the performance, HOSHI remarked, "I'm so grateful to CARATs for filling such a large stadium after seven years," and added, "CARATs' energy is much more intense than ours". Leader S.COUPS also shared a heartfelt sentiment, saying, "I will cherish every single one of your steps and be a leader who protects SEVENTEEN well".

Fans responded with comments such as, "The seven-year wait was worth it," "Seeing the stadium fully packed is moving," and "I'm rooting for the next tour to be completed safely".

Meanwhile, having successfully completed the Hong Kong concert, SEVENTEEN plans to continue their North American tour journey, starting in Seattle, USA.
