Seventeen's fandom (Carat) had a lot in store for the group.

Seventeen held a meet-and-greet, "HANABI" in Japan at the Saitama Super Arena on May 7th.

Fans were dressed in kimonos of different colors, waiting for the doors to open for the big event

Seventeen had returned to Japan after a long hiatus. The group was last in Japan for their Japanese tour, "ODE TO YOU", in October of 2019.

The arena was filled five hours before the meet-and-greet was to start. Approximately 30,000 fans awaited the return of Seventeen that day.

Foreign media and news outlets also reported on the return of Seventeen. A total of sixty news outlets crowded the area.

Seventeen is scheduled to release "Face the Sun" on May 27th at 1pm (KST).
