Group SEVENTEEN members Dokyeom and Seungkwan warmed a winter night with fans.
Dokyeom and Seungkwan held a fan party, Live In Blue, commemorating the release of their mini album 1, "Soyeagok," on the 18th at CG Art Hall in Gangnam-gu, Seoul. The two filled more than two hours with various talk corners and rich live performances, capturing fans' attention.
The fan party was staged like a live performance in a jazz bar. Dokyeom and Seungkwan briefly performed the title track "Blue" and the included song "Guilty Pleasure," as well as "Rockstar (DK Solo)," "Silence," "Dream Serenade (SEUNGKWAN Solo)," and "Prelude of love" from the new record, accompanied by piano. Even though they only sang parts of the songs, their vocal ability befitting the reputation of main vocalists stood out.
Dokyeom and Seungkwan surprised fans by spontaneously swapping and singing each other's solo songs, showcasing different appealing tones. Fans responded with explosive cheers to their flawless unaccompanied singing. A spectacular scene unfolded as the CARAT fandom completed the online viral "Blue" vocal challenge with group harmonies.
Dokyeom and Seungkwan said, "Thanks to the fan party, it feels like we wrapped up promotions for the new song well. It was a time when we felt closer to CARATs. Thank you for creating joyful memories," and hinted, "We have a lot more content to show." Even after finishing their scheduled stages, the two moved through the audience to deliver an encore performance of "Guilty Pleasure," keeping the venue heated until the end. Their close eye contact with each audience member revealed extraordinary love for fans.
Meanwhile, Dokyeom and Seungkwan released their mini album 1, "Soyeagok," on the 12th and are gaining popularity with the title track "Blue."
