SEVENTEEN has taken over social media as fans could not stop talking about the group's professionalism during technical errors at the recent Japanese fan meeting concert. On April 27, the third day of their HOLIDAY fan meeting at the Kyocera Dome in Osaka, the boy group faced a malfunction in their in-ears and a delay in the back track.
The group’s leader, S.Coups, was the first among the members to notice the situation during the medley performance. He signaled the members to gather at the main stage, where monitors were available, which allowed them to hear the backtrack similar to that of the in-ear audio. He also communicated with the staff members to find countersteps to overcome this issue.
Despite the malfunction, the group showcased their stable live vocals, captivating the fans while simultaneously performing the choreography in sync. Fans showed their admiration for SEVENTEEN’s professionalism on social media.
