[Hanteo News = Reporter KANG SUYOUNG] SEVENTEEN has been growing a fan meeting under the same name for eight years.

 

SEVENTEEN will hold '2026 SVT 10TH FAN MEETING <SEVENTEEN in CARAT LAND>' at Incheon Asiad Main Stadium tomorrow (20th) and the day after tomorrow (21st). It is the group’s second fan meeting to be held at stadium scale, following last year. Tickets sold out through pre-sale alone, and the additionally opened seats also sold out quickly.

 

'CARAT LAND' first opened its doors at Jamsil Indoor Stadium in 2017. Since then, it has moved through Jamsil Sports Complex Auxiliary Stadium, Olympic Park KSPO DOME, and Gocheok Sky Dome before entering Incheon Munhak Stadium Main Stadium last year, and now reaching Incheon Asiad Main Stadium this year. Over eight years, the scale of the venue has continued to grow from an indoor gymnasium to a stadium-level venue, but the name has not changed even once.

 

The meaning of the fact that the name has not changed is not small. Instead of announcing its scale expansion each time with a new performance name, SEVENTEEN has grown one brand called 'CARAT LAND' for eight years. For fans, this name is a familiar worldview that does not need to be explained anew every year. The sense that “CARAT LAND season has come again this year,” and the emotional continuity that remains unchanged even as the venue changes, have accumulated within the name.

 

The format has not changed just because the scale has grown. Even while gathering a stadium-size audience, segments that include games and talk remain at the center of the performance. Among them, the segment that symbolizes 'CARAT LAND' is 'Unit Reverse.' Since debut, SEVENTEEN’s 13 members have been divided into three units: the Hip-hop Team, Vocal Team, and Performance Team. 'Unit Reverse' was mainly a segment where these units swapped and performed each other’s stages. Now entering its 12th year since debut, SEVENTEEN has built up not only various units such as BSS, JEONGHAN X WONWOO, HOSHI X WOOZI, S.COUPS X MINGYU, and DK X SEUNGKWAN, but also each member’s solo activities. As such, expectations have grown even higher for what combinations and stages will fill this year’s 'Unit Reverse.' The way it shows an intimate reconstruction in smaller units even on a large stage is the identity that 'CARAT LAND' has maintained for eight years.

 

Even in its 12th year since debut, SEVENTEEN’s power remains unchanged. The group recorded the highest K-POP ranking on Billboard’s 2026 mid-year 'Top Tours' chart, and tickets for 'CARAT LAND' once again sold out through pre-sale alone. As a result of building the same name for eight years, 'CARAT LAND' has now become not simply a fan meeting, but an asset of the SEVENTEEN brand.
