CARAT LAND 2024 unfolded as a spectacular two-day event, featuring all thirteen members of the group. Just as in the previous year, the standout moments of this fan meeting were the impressive dance covers by SEVENTEEN. This 8th fan meeting, held from July 23 to March 24, 2024, was a vibrant celebration that brought together fans from around the world. For those unable to attend in person, the event was live-streamed on Weverse, allowing international CARATs to partake in the festivities from their homes. Meanwhile, local South Korean fans had the opportunity to experience the excitement firsthand at the Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul, adding an extra layer of energy to the celebration.

The recent event at SEVENTEEN’s CARAT LAND 2024 proved to be a thrilling experience for loyal fans, offering them a rare opportunity to interact with their favourite artists in a truly memorable way. This group is renowned for its vibrant performances, showcasing its commitment to making the event unforgettable. The group delivered an impressive lineup, featuring popular tracks such as Ready to Love, Dream (Korean Version), and 9-TEEN. They also introduced songs from their latest album, 17 Is Right Here, including the lively LALALI and the enchanting Spell. Additionally, the new sub-unit of Wonwoo and Jeonghan performed their latest single Last Night from the album THIS MAN, adding a fresh twist to the event.
The fans were further entertained by engaging games and a special project initiated by the “Carats,” SEVENTEEN’s dedicated fanbase. A standout feature of the event was the group’s traditional “unfitting” song challenge, where members danced to parts of popular songs by other K-pop groups that they deemed mismatched for them. This challenge served as a playful penalty for those who lost during the ZIP Game. On the first day of CARAT LAND, members Jeonghan, Jun, Woozi, The8, Mingyu, and Vernon performed their respective “unfitting” songs, with Mingyu’s performance of Sticky sure to leave a lasting impression on everyone. The remaining members took their turn performing assigned tracks today.
The event also featured a unique CARAT LAND 2024 Special skit, presented through an exclusive VCR. This skit, titled Boarding House, centered around Vernon as the main character and an egg. The humorous storyline depicted all members of the group living in a boarding house, taking turns to care for the egg, which amusingly kept getting cracked and replaced. The skit’s quirky depiction of Vernon as a baby and the ensuing antics brought unexpected laughter and joy to fans. Additionally, Wonwoo’s hilarious introduction to ILLIT’s Magnetic added to the day’s entertainment.
The SEVENTEEN In CARAT LAND was filled with enthusiasm and showcased an impressive array of musical talent. The unit swap performances were particularly notable: the Hip-hop unit performed Spell, originally by the Performance unit, while the Vocal unit took on LALALI, originally by the Hip-hop unit. The Performance unit delivered a rendition of Cheers to Youth, originally performed by the Vocal unit. It was a special treat to see the Vocal unit seamlessly execute rap elements, highlighting their versatility and the group’s dynamic range.
