SEVENTEEN kicked off their fan meeting, SEVENTEEN in CARATLAND, at Seoul’s Gocheok Sky Dome with high energy and excitement. However, things took an unexpected turn when DK, one of the group’s members, faced a bit of a hiccup. During his performance, where he showcased his unique and humorous style, some fans were not pleased and even “booed” him.
Here’s the scoop: SEVENTEEN is known for their quirky challenges where they perform parts of popular songs by other K-pop artists, even if those songs don’t quite fit their usual style. For this event, DK’s task was to dance to Taemin’s “Guilty.” After his team lost a game, DK took to the stage with a playful twist, performing with fake abs to add some humor to the show.
While many fans loved DK’s comedic approach and appreciated his effort to make them laugh, a few in the crowd were disappointed that he didn’t go shirtless as some had hoped. This reaction seemed to get under DK’s skin a bit, and even led to some of his fellow members, like Seungkwan, showing support with a “yellow card” gesture to those booing, and Mingyu stepping in to comfort him.
Although the booing might have been intended as a lighthearted joke, it still affected DK, who admitted he was surprised and upset by the reaction. He reassured fans that he’s not holding a grudge and promised to give an even better performance next time. Fans took to social media to defend DK and criticize the negative response, showing their support for his efforts.
As for SEVENTEEN’s CARATLAND, the event, which started on July 23, was a blast. It featured vibrant performances, fun games, and interactive moments that delighted both the members and their fans. The event was live-streamed on Weverse, so fans who couldn’t attend in person could still join in the fun.
During the event, SEVENTEEN members impressed fans with solo dance covers of various songs. Highlights included Jeonghan’s performance of Taeyong’s “Tap,” The8 dancing to VIVIZ’s “Maniac,” Vernon’s take on aespa’s “Supernova,” and Woozi’s cover of NewJeans’ “How Sweet.” Despite these performances originally being a “punishment” for losing a team game, Woozi especially stood out with his smooth and confident execution of his dance, proving once again his talent and dedication.
