SEVENTEEN Face Heavy Criticism Following Recent Tour Announcement

By Koreaboo

SEVENTEEN‘s recent concert announcement has left some fans feeling neglected.

SEVENTEEN recently announced their RIGHT HERE World Tour, which will kick off on October 12 and 13 at Goyang Stadium in Korea. Shortly after, the group’s tour in the United States was announced, and many were not satisfied with the number of dates on the seemingly “rushed” tour.

Additionally, fans were angered over Pledis‘s scheduling over the last year. Jeonghan and Jun will not participate in the tour due to the former’s military enlistment and the latter’s work in China, and many feel the group’s FOLLOW tour could have ended earlier to allow the world tour to consist of all the members.

On September 24, the group announced the tour’s Asia leg, which will consist of five concerts in the Philippines, Singapore, Indonesia, and Thailand.

Almost immediately, fans in Malaysia noticed the lack of a concert date for the tour in the country.

While a location not being included in one tour would not normally be out of the ordinary, SEVENTEEN have not announced a concert in Malaysia since February 2020, during their Ode to You World Tour. This date was ultimately canceled, meaning their last concert in Malaysia was six years ago.

Many fans expressed disappointment in the lack of a date in the country, with some mentioning how countries have had multiple performances in the last year that add up to more than the currently listed RIGHT HERE tour dates.  The lack of dates in China were also brought up by some fans.
