Jun appreciation moment
It was truly a night to remember—not only for Carats, but for Seventeen as well—as the "New" world tour stop in Bulacan marked Jun's long-awaited return to the Philippine stage after two years.
Following his appearance at the "Follow" tour in Bulacan in January 2024, Jun sat out the "Right Here" world tour in January 2025 to focus on his acting career in China.
As he made his return to the Philippine stage, Carats ensured he felt their love through thunderous cheers and heartfelt fan projects. Among the highlights was an aerial banner that flew across the arena, bearing the message: "Welcome to PH Stage, Jun."
Carat energy
Filipinos once again proved why they are considered among the best fans in the world, as the crowd delivered energy-filled chants, thunderous sing-alongs, and even showed off their dance moves throughout the concert.
From start to finish, the arena was filled with unwavering excitement, with fans matching every beat and lyric, creating an electrifying atmosphere that elevated each performance.
Their overwhelming energy resonated with the members, who couldn't help but praise Filo Carats for their enthusiasm.
"Because of how loud our Carats' cheers were, we enjoyed the stage even more," Seungkwan said.
"Philippine carats, the best!" Joshua added.
OT13 Forever
The future may be uncertain, but for Seventeen, their bond remains unwavering. During their closing ment, the members reassured fans that all 13 of them are here to stay, promising to remain together for a long, long time.
"Whether in solos, in units, and in different types of forms, we will make sure to reach you. Please continue to support us. I myself will do my best. Remember, the 13 members of Seventeen will never separate. Mahal kita! I love you!" S.Coups said.
As S.Coups promised to stay together forever, Joshua and Vernon expressed his hope to return to the Philippines with all 13 members complete.
"I'm glad we get to spend the last stop with you guys… By the next time we come back to the Philippines, hopefully, it will all be the 13 of us. Like S.Coups said, we'll never be apart. All 13 of us are gonna stay together forever," Joshua said.
"Did you have fun? This is our last stop for the Asia tour, and honestly I'm just so happy that it was in the Philippines cause you guys are amazing. It's been so much fun. Hopefully we can see each other again in the near future, all 13 of us. Until then, stay safe. You guys are so beautiful. Thank you so much for tonight," Vernon added.
Moving carts
Just like in their other tour stops, Seventeen brought their moving carts to the Philippine stage.
During performances of "World," "A-Teen," and "9-Teen," the members rode the moving carts as they made their way around the stadium, getting closer to fans across different sections.
The setup offered better views and more intimate interactions, making the experience even more unforgettable for Carats.
Never-ending 'Aju Nice!'
What's a Seventeen concert without their iconic "Aju Nice" moment?
Everyone was on their feet as the arena transformed into a full-blown party during the final number, with fans singing, jumping, and dancing along to the beloved track.
The group didn't perform the song just once—they repeated it multiple times, reliving their signature "Aju Nice" moment over and over again to the delight of the crowd.
Some members even stepped down from the stage to get closer to Carats in the standing section, interacting with fans. They also playfully splashed water on them, adding to the high-energy and unforgettable finale.
