K-pop group SEVENTEEN has faced heavy criticism from fans following the announcement of their upcoming “RIGHT HERE” World Tour. While the tour, kicking off on October 12th and 13th at Goyang Stadium in Korea, has generated excitement, the tour’s US leg has left many fans feeling neglected.
Limited US Dates Fuel Fan Frustration
The announcement of the US tour dates sparked a wave of discontent among American Carats (SEVENTEEN’s fandom). Fans expressed disappointment over the limited number of US cities included in the tour, citing the lack of representation for various regions and the limited number of opportunities to see the group live.
The perceived lack of attention to the US fanbase has fueled a sense of frustration and disappointment among Carats. Many have taken to social media to express their dissatisfaction, questioning the tour’s planning and the prioritization of other regions over the US.
This backlash highlights the growing demand for more accessible and inclusive touring experiences for international K-pop fans. As K-pop’s global reach continues to expand, it’s crucial for artists and agencies to consider the needs and expectations of their diverse fanbases.
