Seventeens Los Angeles Pop-Up Shop And Concert Events A Fans Guide

SEVENTEEN, the popular K-pop group, recently celebrated its 10th anniversary and has been making waves in Los Angeles with exclusive events and merchandise. The band, consisting of thirteen members including S.Coups, Jeonghan, Joshua, Jun, Hoshi, Wonwoo, Woozi, DK, Mingyu, The8, Seungkwan, Vernon, and Dino, released their fifth studio album, "Happy Burstday," on May 26, 2025, and kicked off their New_ World Tour in September. As part of their tour, they made a stop in Los Angeles for two shows at BMO Stadium on October 16 and 17, accompanied by several fan-focused events and an exclusive pop-up shop.

SEVENTEEN Complex Pop-Up Shop Experience

The ComplexLA pop-up shop offered SEVENTEEN fans an exclusive opportunity to purchase limited-edition merchandise before the concerts. Unlike previous Complex pop-ups that ran from Friday through Sunday, the SEVENTEEN shop operated from Saturday, October 11, until Monday, October 13, with hours from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. each day.

Location and Accessibility

The pop-up was held at Complex LA's space located at 433 N Fairfax Ave in Los Angeles. The area presented some challenges for visitors, as parking can be difficult with mostly street parking available. Fans were advised to consider ridesharing to the location to avoid parking complications.

What to Expect at the Pop-Up

Inside the pop-up, fans could purchase exclusive merchandise available only at the Complex space. The selection included official SEVENTEEN albums and limited-edition items that couldn't be found elsewhere. The venue featured music that was "only available at this event" and provided photo opportunities for fans to take selfies while browsing the collection. The pop-up also created a space for Carats (SEVENTEEN's fandom name) to interact with fellow fans.

Preparation Tips

Given the potential for large crowds and the warm Los Angeles weather, visitors were advised to arrive early in the day or later in the day to avoid peak crowds. Monday was noted as potentially less crowded than the weekend days. Fans were recommended to bring sunscreen, water, and a portable charger to ensure they could document their experience fully.

RSVP and Entry

Fans had the option to RSVP for the pop-up online through a designated link. However, it was important to note that RSVPs did not guarantee entry into the pop-up, likely due to capacity constraints.

SEVENTEEN's New_ World Tour Los Angeles Concerts

SEVENTEEN's performances at BMO Stadium on October 16 and 17 marked their return to Los Angeles less than a year after their U.S. stadium debut at the same venue. This tour presented some changes from their previous performances, as four members were absent due to various commitments.

Member Changes

The New_ World Tour featured nine members on stage, as Hoshi, Woozi, and Wonwoo were completing their mandatory South Korean military service, while Jeonghan was also away for the same reason. Jun, who had sat out the previous tour to support his acting career, returned to the stage after nearly three years away from the city.

Performance Highlights

Despite having fewer members, the performances maintained SEVENTEEN's signature energy and stage presence. The group showcased nine solo songs from their latest album, with each member highlighting their individual talents. The performances included:

1. Dino's "Trigger," followed by Jun's "Gemini" from the Performance Unit
2. Joshua and DK's consecutive stages of "Fortunate Change" and "Happy Virus" from the Vocal Unit

The band members demonstrated their growth as performers over the seven years since their last solo performances on tour, showcasing new skills they had developed during that time.

Fan Interaction

SEVENTEEN maintained their reputation for engaging with fans during the concerts. During one performance, Seungkwan remarked, "I think, at this rate, we're not going to be able to perform the songs we did prepare," after taking fan requests that led to an improvised break from their planned setlist. The band also performed "Rock," a song that had been cut from the U.S. leg of their previous tour, allowing fans to hear DK's "casually perfect high notes" live.

Other SEVENTEEN Events in Los Angeles

Beyond the pop-up shop and concerts, SEVENTEEN fans in Los Angeles had the opportunity to participate in several free events during the group's visit.

Singalong Party at Universal Studios Hollywood

Universal Studios Hollywood hosted a SEVENTEEN Singalong Party at Universal CityWalk on October 14 at 4 p.m. The event was free to attend and featured special lighting in SEVENTEEN's signature Rose Quartz and Serenity colors. As of 12 p.m. on the event day, organizers confirmed that the event would proceed despite weather advisories.

Pacific Wheel Lighting at Santa Monica Pier

The Santa Monica Pier featured a special tribute to SEVENTEEN with the Pacific Ferris wheel displaying lights in the group's theme colors on October 15-17, including both nights of the BMO Stadium concerts. The lighting displays occurred at 7 p.m. each evening, providing fans with another opportunity to celebrate their favorite K-pop group.

Fans who booked an Airbnb stay in California between October 1 and 17, or a qualifying SEVENTEEN-themed Experience between October 12 and 18, were eligible to receive an Airbnb Password containing 12 yet-to-be-revealed SEVENTEEN photos.
