Boy band Seventeen achieved a significant milestone over the weekend by becoming the second K-pop act to perform at Japan's Nissan Stadium.

Nissan Stadium, located in Kanagawa, is renowned as Japan's largest concert hall and is often referred to as a "dream stage" for many artists. TVXQ previously performed at the venue in 2013.

The performances at Nissan Stadium marked the conclusion of the “Seventeen Tour ‘Follow’ Again,” which consisted of eight concerts across two venues each in Korea and Japan.

The Korean leg of the tour commenced at Incheon Asiad Main Stadium on March 30 and 31, followed by performances at Seoul World Cup Stadium on April 27 and 28. The Japanese leg began at Yanmar Stadium Nagai in Osaka on May 18 and 19, culminating in the Nissan Stadium concerts over the weekend.
