Recently, SEVENTEEN received a commendation from the Los Angeles (LA) City Council, once again proving their global K-pop influence. On the 8th, the LA City Council invited SEVENTEEN member Joshua to recognize his contributions to art, culture, and the community, and presented him with a commendation. This is a result of their performances and the ‘SEVENTEEN The City Project’ being highly evaluated for greatly contributing to city promotion.
Joshua expressed his immense gratitude and honor in receiving this prestigious award on behalf of the team, sharing his excitement about introducing SEVENTEEN to LA. He also emphasized the precious connection with fans, noting that SEVENTEEN and LA are alike in their boundless potential based on diversity.
The event was attended by several LA city council members, including Chair Marquis Harris-Dawson, and hundreds of fans gathered around LA City Hall to hear Joshua’s speech. Councilmember Katy Yaroslavsky introduced SEVENTEEN as a “remarkable K-pop group conquering the world,” highlighting their message of positivity and unity.
The ongoing ‘SEVENTEEN The City LA’ project is holding a commemorative party at Club Academy LA, selected by the LA Tourism Board, showcasing SEVENTEEN’s influence in North America. Additionally, major billboards in the city display advertisements announcing SEVENTEEN’s arrival in the U.S., creating significant buzz among local fans.
SEVENTEEN plans to deepen their connection with fans through various events until the 11th. Notably, the ‘SEVENTEEN WORLD TOUR IN US’ at LA BMO Stadium marks their first stadium concert in the U.S. since debut, with tickets selling out rapidly, demonstrating SEVENTEEN’s immense popularity.
Such active endeavors by SEVENTEEN are expected to further solidify their position in the global K-pop market. Fans have high expectations for the new aspects SEVENTEEN will showcase in the future.
