Fans Unable to Secure Seats for Seventeen’s Showcase Feature on Korean TV News for Renting Yachts Instead
Seventeen Fans Create Waves on Korean TV
Fans of Seventeen captured the spotlight on Korean television recently, bringing smiles and laughter to viewers. The buzz centered around a segment aired by KNN, which covered the group’s 10th-anniversary showcase held on May 25 at Jamsu Bridge.
In a clever twist, many fans, known as Carats, opted to rent yachts to catch the concert from the river after they missed out on tickets through the lottery system. This creative solution led to quite the sight, with one boat proudly displaying a sign that read "SS Going Carat," while another featured flags emblazoned with member Vernon’s name.
This amusing escapade was highlighted during a public news program, eliciting chuckles online and showering praise on the fans for their ingenious efforts. Holding a showcase on a bridge above water rather than a typical indoor venue certainly added to the uniqueness of the event.
Many netizens took to social media, likening the scenario to moments from the K-drama Boys Over Flowers. Jokingly, they referred to the fans as "CaJunPyo," a nod to the character Gu Jun Pyo, and dubbed Seventeen as "SevJanDi."
Here’s a glimpse at some reactions:
"F*** lolololololololololololololol"
"I can’t believe they did that! It’s like something Gu Jun Pyo would pull off. I lost it!"
"They’re really waving a Vernon flag like it’s a pirate ship, this is too much!"
Fans expressed their delight, with comments overflowing with humor and admiration for the spontaneity and spirit of the moment. One fan reminisced about how their family members were intrigued, asking if they too had rented a yacht.
TRENDINGThe entire scene painted a delightful picture of fandom ingenuity and romance, leaving many to reflect on the adventurous spirit shared among Carats. As these fans celebrated Seventeen, one couldn’t help but chuckle at the creativity that led to them making the news—not to mention making a splash in the fandom world.
It’s clear that the joy of Seventeen and its fans knows no bounds, and this unforgettable moment will surely be talked about for a long time.
