SEVENTEEN Faces Mixed Reactions from CARATs Amid 2025 Plans
The beloved K-pop group SEVENTEEN is gearing up for a packed schedule in 2025, but their dedicated fans, known as CARATs, are voicing their concerns about the agency’s upcoming plans.
Announcement of Album and World Tour
On January 2, Asia Kyungjae reported that several K-pop groups, including SEVENTEEN, are set to engage in exciting new projects. These include a new album release and a major world tour aimed at connecting with CARATs across the globe.
Military Enlistment Concerns
The news outlet also addressed a critical issue: the anticipated military enlistment of several SEVENTEEN members. According to their report, “SEVENTEEN’s 10th anniversary will be honored with a new album and a world tour,”although it noted the impending limitations on full-group activities due to enlistments scheduled for the first half of 2025.

PLEDIS Entertainment’s Response
PLEDIS Entertainment is actively trying to address the situation by focusing on sub-unit promotions. Plans are in motion for a trio unit known as BooSeokSoon, alongside a duo unit featuring members Woozi and Hoshi.
Fan Backlash
Despite the agency’s efforts to keep the content flowing, the reaction from fans has largely been negative. A section of CARATs expressed their enthusiasm for the music and unit activities, while another group criticized PLEDIS for scheduling a world tour despite the absence of key members. Concerns about the members’ health have surfaced, with many feeling that a much-needed break would be more beneficial than another strenuous tour.

Not them insisting on a world tour and an album release with fewer members. Wouldn’t it be better to focus on unit and solo debuts of other members instead? Pledshit and their hungry hyena tendencies,let them rest, too. Honestly, this isn’t something to be happy about. https://t.co/YjFCsJ7HDs
