From amped-up antics to exposed biceps, pledis_17 closed their last North American show on several high notes.
world tour on a high note. Many high notes, in fact. As thousands of fans screeched the lyrics of their encore song "Aju Nice" well into the evening on Sept. 6, they filled the entirety of Newark's Prudential Center with the kind of buoyancy and fervor only the 13 members of Seventeen can inspire., selling millions of albums worldwide and selling out arenas from Seoul to Los Angeles.
As the night commenced, you could see glimpses of their impenetrable bond through playful ribbing and onstage antics: Joshua compared aqua-haired The8 to Squidward, and DK gave rapper Wonwoo a piggyback ride before accidentally hitting him in the nose. When all 13 are together, their dynamic is unmatched. As Hoshi, the group's resident hype man would, and did, say, multiple times, "No cap."Seventeen set the mood for the show with their opening performance of "HOT.
During Stateside promotions, Joshua is typically a bridge between the members and their North American fans, and he plays the part well. He helps get the group back on track when they stray off course, and he's often tasked with exposition: "We want to light your inner shadows," he said, explaining the title of their tour. So it's nice to see Shua let loose.
The stage transformed into a junkyard setting that only added chaos to the performance: Mingyu dribbled a basketball and rode a bike down the catwalk — nearly careening into DK; Vernon started singing Rihanna's "Work," which only prompted everyone else to sing along; During "Mansa," the group instructed fans to wave their hands at various speeds. "Go faster! Now, a lot more faster!”; To introduce "Left & Right," DK transformed into a drill sergeant.
The encore is when you see Seventeen at their most Seventeen: they run around like children on a playground. To be fair, as a group of international superstars selling out an entire arena, what stage is not a playground? To unleash your creativity, untamed energy, and enthusiasm for life — for three hours on Tuesday night, we were all happy to play along.
