8 Best Moments From SEVENTEEN’s U.S. Stadium Debut in LA

Nearly a decade into their career, SEVENTEEN carved a moment out of their RIGHT HERE U.S. tour to reflect on the past. Halfway through their second concert in LA at BMO Stadium on Sunday (Nov. 10), the sprawling K-pop group sat down, backs to the audience, to watch much younger versions of themselves make a promise to each other.

“If someone changes in the future,” group leader S.Coups says in the video from 2015, still days out from their debut, “Let’s come back to Sokcho and throw them in the sea!”

Of course, nothing stays the same forever, and the next little chunk of the live show is them accusing each other of changing and pretending to jump into the water. It’s a fitting, if funny, way to end a year of massive change for SEVENTEEN — with Jeonghan, their first member to enter mandatory military service, leaving for duty in September. (Jun was also unable to join the U.S. tour, cutting the group’s head count from 13 to 11.)

But change can be good too. Case in point: Saturday and Sunday marked SEVENTEEN’s first two U.S. stadium shows, following eight additional arena concerts in the past month. It’s been said that the group’s shows are always intimate affairs, regardless of venue size — and they proved that to be true once again this weekend with breathless performances and plenty of audience interaction.

These are the eight best moments from SEVENTEEN’s Los Angeles stadium show.
