The grand finale of the party was decorated with 'B-DAY PARTY: BURST Stage @잠수교 (BURST Stage)' attended by the members themselves. 11 members, excluding Jeonghan and Wonwoo who are currently serving in the alternative military, went up on stage and held the first Jamsugyo performance by a K-pop artist. The 6,000-seat auditorium on Jamsugyo was filled, and 60,000 people gathered at Banpo Hangang Park, including the broadcast booth with a large LED screen.
SEVENTEEN, who made a strong start with the title song 'THUNDER' of their fifth regular album 'HAPPY BURSTDAY' to be released on the 26th, greeted the audience amidst their enthusiastic cheers. Mingyu said, "When I heard that we would be performing at the Submersible Bridge, I imagined a lot, like whether there would be yachts or a pretty sunset. Today seems to be a milestone in many ways," and shouted, "Please enjoy it until the end." This will be the first concert by a K-pop group to perform at the Submersible Bridge. SEVENTEEN expressed their gratitude, saying, "It's all thanks to CARATs."
There was also an introduction to the new song, as it was a day before the comeback. Woozi said, “After making albums for 10 years, there were times when I thought, ‘Is this the end for me?’ But the heavens did not abandon me. This is music that I made when inspiration struck me like lightning. Please listen to it as it is.” Seungkwan said, “Woozi hyung never said, ‘I was inspired by him when he made the song.’ That makes it even more meaningful.”
The new album is titled 'Happy Burst Day'. The album title is a combination of the birthday greeting 'Happy Birthday' and the word 'Burst', which means explosion, eruption, and beginning, and it commemorates SEVENTEEN's rebirth through challenges while also containing the meaning that their new possibilities are exploding. For the first time since their debut, all 13 members have included solo songs.
Dino said, “Today, since we are with the submarine bridge, we have a splendid fountain show and a big fireworks show prepared, so please look forward to it,” and the members expressed their hopes, “We have packed the concert to create underwater memories, so please enjoy it.” After the new album’s track “HBD,” the hit song “HOT” rang out, and the audience’s cheers reverberated through the submarine bridge. Seungkwan smiled proudly at the audience, saying, “This is the cheer.”
K-pop's first underwater bridge park is so cool.
