The SEVENTEEN special unit HOSHI X WOOZI completed a hot summer night with over 100,000 CARATs (fandom name) through an 11-part fan concert.
HOSHI X WOOZI adorned the climax of the fan concert 'HOSHI X WOOZI FAN CONCERT [WARNING]' (hereafter WARNING) at the Gwangju University Universiade Gymnasium on the 23rd and 24th. Tickets were sold out through FC membership pre-sales only, and obstructed view seats were opened additionally. During the two-day online live streaming, fans from 60 countries and regions, including Japan and the United States, participated.
The Gwangju performance was packed for an impressive 3 hours, easing the bittersweet feelings of the finale. HOSHI X WOOZI showcased unit songs like 'Shoot Me', 'Same Age Friends', 'STUPID IDIOT', and the unreleased new song 'Copy Paste', as well as rich solo stages that highlighted their individual charms and abilities. After completing their scheduled performances, the two selected SEVENTEEN group songs on the spot and poured their enthusiasm into them. The audience responded with 'sing-alongs' that heightened the excitement. Finally, they expressed their gratitude to the CARATs with deep bows, delivering an emotional moment.
HOSHI X WOOZI said, "It's a new experience to meet fans in Gwangju," and added, "Thanks to the love you've given us over the past 10 years, we've been able to grow well. I don't think I will forget each precious memory you have created for us." They continued, "I am always grateful for the great love you have sent us; we will return as a more grown SEVENTEEN and show you a wonderful sight."
HOSHI X WOOZI have continued their 'WARNING' series since last month, starting in Seoul, and then moving to Busan, Taipei, Yokohama, and Gwangju. The performances sold out for every round, and in some cities, obstructed view seats were sold additionally, showcasing their formidable ticket power. In Japan, the concert was broadcast live from over 130 theaters, providing unforgettable memories to even more CARATs.
'WARNING' added visual appeal by likening HOSHI X WOOZI to a work of art. The two actively contributed to the production of the concert, enhancing its quality. SEVENTEEN members not only visited the concert venue to show their support but also made surprise appearances in the VCR video, showcasing their strong bond.
HOSHI X WOOZI, a combination of the leaders of the SEVENTEEN performance team and vocal team, made a distinctive mark by presenting their first unit song 'Shoot Me' in 2017. Their first single 'BEAM', released in March, dominated the charts at home and abroad, and 'ECHO! (Prod. WOOZI)', announced as a mission song for Mnet's 'World of Street Woman Fighter', sparked numerous dance challenges.
