SEVENTEEN debuted their new song 'THUNDER' stage for the first time at their 10th anniversary concert.
On the 25th at 7:30 p.m. at Jamsugyo in Seocho-gu, Seoul, a large offline event called 'B-DAY PARTY: BURST Stage @Jamsugyo' (hereafter BURST Stage) was held to commemorate SEVENTEEN's 10th anniversary.
On this day, SEVENTEEN opened the show with the title track 'THUNDER' from their 5th studio album 'HAPPY BURSTDAY', which will be released at 6 p.m. on the 26th. Hoshi noted, "Today, not only the CARATs but also many citizens came. I hope you all have a good time, and the police are here too. Please enjoy safely."
Mingyu said, "When I heard about performing at Jamsugyo, I imagined a lot. Will there be yachts? Will the sunset be pretty? I was also worried about whether it would rain, but it seems perfect in many ways. I hope you all enjoy it together until the end."
In particular, Hoshi said, "We are said to be the first K-pop artists to perform at Jamsugyo. Isn't it thanks to the CARATs?" and Dokyeom expressed gratitude, stating, "If it weren't for the CARATs, we wouldn't have been able to do this first."
Seungkwan said, "When you think of South Korea, you can't leave out the Han River. Many citizens come to the Han River like us. When I heard the news about performing at Jamsugyo, it was the first time I felt this nervous and excited. I think the CARATs felt the same way."
Later, Hoshi asked, "How was the first song 'THUNDER'? Did it make you feel electrified?" Woozi responded, "'THUNDER' is a very intense song, and while making albums over the past 10 years, I thought maybe I couldn't do it anymore. But the heavens didn't abandon me. The inspiration struck me like lightning. I hope you enjoy the music as it is."
Seungkwan said, "An important point is that Woozi hyung has never mentioned receiving inspiration when making songs. It was the first time that inspiration came from 'THUNDER'. It's very meaningful for us, especially on our 10th anniversary. The album comes out tomorrow, so the album name is 'HAPPY BURSTDAY'." Mingyu added, "Since tomorrow is also our 10th anniversary and it is our 5th studio album, the album name is 'HAPPY BURSTDAY'. It's simple. It combines 'happy birthday' and 'burst', meaning it's an album to celebrate our 10th anniversary while also signifying the start of an explosion or eruption." Hoshi added, "It means we will explode, grow, and move forward."
Vernon explained, "There are 3 group songs and individual solo songs from all 13 members. Please listen to all 16 songs." Mingyu noted, "Unfortunately, Wonwoo hyung couldn't be here today. There are solo songs he participated in included in the 5th studio album, so please look forward to those." Dino said, "Since this is at Jamsugyo, there will be a spectacular fountain show and large fireworks. I hope you all look forward to it. Isn't today a B-Day party? So please also look forward to the party."
