K-Pop group Seventeen announces ‘New World Tour.' Get tickets today
Vivid Seats is the New York Post's official ticketing partner. We may receive revenue from this partnership for sharing this content and/or when you make a purchase. Featured pricing is subject to change. We're almost at the edge of Seventeen. The K-Pop giants just announced they're returning to the United States this October for their '[NEW_] World Tour.' Their brief nine-concert outing is slated to send the 13-member group to venues all over the U.S. but not New York or New Jersey. Jeonghan, Joshua, Jun, Hoshi, Wonwoo, Woozi, DK, Mingyu, The8, Seungkwan, Vernon and Dino will get closest when they wrap their stateside run with a pair of concerts at Washington, D.C.'s Capital One Arena on Wednesday, Oct. 29 and Thursday, Oct. 30. These concerts come on the heels of the release of the group's fifth studio album 'Happy Burstday.' The high-energy, 16-song record features solo tracks from each member of the group as well as special guests Pharrell and Timbaland. 'We are ready to reinvent ourselves,' told The Hollywood Reporter. 'Most of the members are going to enlist in the military soon. Up until now, we've mostly focused on our group promotions,' Hoshi added. 'We would like to show more of our individualities, each of the members' personalities and capabilities, so that when the time comes and we get back together again as a group, we'll be able to showcase ourselves as a better Seventeen.' In conjunction with the unique album, the group performed a short concert at South Korea's Jamsu Bridge on May 25. According to Set List FM, they took just 12 songs to the stage and only two from the new album. If you'd like to find out what they have in store for the '[NEW_] World Tour,' tickets are available for all shows. Fans Carats can purchase tickets for all upcoming North American Seventeen shows on sites like Vivid Seats; the official on-sale is Wednesday, Aug. 6.

They have a 100% buyer guarantee that states your transaction will be safe and secure and will be delivered before the event. Seventeen tour schedule 2025 A complete calendar including all tour dates, venues and links to buy tickets can be found below. Seventeen set list As noted above, Seventeen performed in South Korea on May 25. Based on our findings at Set List FM, here's what they brought to the fans. 01.) 'THUNDER' 02.) 'HBD' 03.) 'HOT' 04.) 'April shower' 05.) 'Our dawn is hotter than day' 06.) 'Headliner' 07.) 'Run to You' 08.) 'Rock with you' 09.) 'Together' 10.) 'God of Music' 11.) 'Eyes on you' 12.) 'VERY NICE' Seventeen new music On May 26, Seventeen released their fifth studio album 'Happy Burstday.' As expected, there are a lot of flavors at play over the course of the 16-track, 49-minute record since each group member has a solo track of their own. To get things underway, the squad's nervy, energetic 'HBD' sets the tone. Upbeat hand-claps, beat drops, surprisingly heavy guitar riffs and a mix of Korean and English lyrics make for the perfect party-starter. We know we're already bopping along. Other highlights include the radio-friendly jam 'Thunder,' old-school, Pharrell-produced 'Bad Influence,' moody slice of pop 'Skyfall' (The 8's solo), jaunty piano crowd-pleaser '99.9%' (Wonwoo's solo) and industrial robo epic 'Damage' (HOSHI's solo feat. Timbaland's signature bleeps, bloops and slinky synths). Truth be told, we also loved Mingyu's hypnotic 'Shake It Off,' S. COUPS' 'Jungle' (it's perfect for cardio and the club) and DINO's '00s throwback 'Trigger,' which sounds straight out of 2006. We love the production and his vocals over the summery instrumentals.

Mrs Mops talks conquering the Hyrox fitness challenge and maintaining her BBL
Mpumi 'Mrs Mops' Mophatlane trained for three months for the Cape Town Hyrox event. She is planning on entering the Johannesburg event at the end of 2025. Mpumi says she maintains her BBL through consistent gym sessions. ______________________________________________________________________ 'I never say no to a challenge,' she says. It took three months of training but reality TV star Mpumi 'Mrs Mops' Mophatlane has conquered the Hyrox global fitness movement. The intense indoor fitness competition held its first South African events in Johannesburg in March 2025 and in Cape Town in July, drawing in hundreds of participants to compete in a series of running and workouts in one of the world's fastest growing fitness challenges. Mpumi efforts prove that anyone can overcome what they set their mind to. Mpumi admits to TRUELOVE, 'It was a tough journey because I am not as fit. I've never thought of myself as a hybrid athlete. 'And so when my friend, who's also my personal trainer, said to me, 'Listen, in about three months time, there's going to be the Hyrox Cape Town'. And I'm like, 'Okay, so first of all, what is Hyrox? Number one. And what do they require?' And then when she sent me the pictures and the videos, I was like, there's no way.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by Mpumi Mophatlane (@mpumimops) But through hard work, determination and motivation, Mrs Mops completed the intense challenge in just under two hours. The Mommy Club star tells us all about how she trained for the challenge, kept herself going and how she maintains her sculpted physique since undergoing a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) procedure. Tell us about your training schedule preparing for the Hyrox fitness challenge. 'Being so busy, it was so difficult. So, what we did is we decided let's train twice a week with the Hyrox trainer, and, because Hyrox is mostly running and I needed to get my pace up because I'm not a runner. Like I can't run to save my life. 'And when we got there, he tested us and he said to me, 'Mm, Mpumi, you are not runner girl. You're in trouble. You need to start increasing your pace and just start running'. And we started running on Sundays and started running on Mondays and Wednesdays as well to get my pace right. And the types of exercises there are, it's skiing, it's rowing, it's ball throws, it's the farmers carry. Yoh, it's lunges and burpees, which humbled me. Burpees humble me, I almost fainted when I was doing the burpees! What kept you motivated to be consistent with your training? 'What kept me going was my children and my family because I had committed and with my big mouth, I had told everybody. So, everybody now was asking me, 'Hey, how's the Hyrox going? How's the training going?' Now I can't back down because I had already said to people, 'I'm training for the Hyrox'. 'Every time they're like, 'Mpumi, have a glass of wine', I'm like, 'No thanks, I'm training for the Hyrox'. So, I had committed myself to such a level that I couldn't back down.' Would you commit to this level of working out in your everyday life? 'Oh, yes, absolutely. Now that I'm fit and I'm Hyrox fit and I know what to expect. When another one comes in Johannesburg, I think there's one coming in Johannesburg again at the end of the year, I will definitely enter that one.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by Mpumi Mophatlane (@mpumimops) What kind of lifestyle changes did you have to make to maintain your BBL? 'It's so important that if you do decide to get a BBL like I did, you have to go to the gym and maintain it. And it comes with consistency and a change of diet because it's going to be massive if you keep on eating all these unhealthy foods. 'So you have to just eat healthy. And, I mean, you can cheat here and there and have a cheat day, that's fine. But most of the time you just need to watch it. Watch your weight and everything else in between. Because I've had friends who've gone for round one, round two, round three BBLs because they don't like going to the gym. And so, mina, it's just one round and I'm done. and I'm going to maintain these results, honey, by being a gym bunny.' How has your body changed a year on after your BBL? 'The results get better. Because as soon as you get up from that operating table, you look extremely exaggerated because you're swollen. And as time goes by and you're getting your massages - because it's really important to also get your massages. 'What people don't understand is that after you get your BBL and your lipo, you need lymphatic drainage massage to get all those fluids out from the swelling. And when you get your massages and you compress and you sleep with your compression garment and you're doing all those aftercare procedures, after a few months, you can tell that your body is getting better and better.'
