"SEVENTEEN and CARATs are so hot, no wonder we had fire in here": SEVENTEEN lightens the mood with a joke after a fire breaks in their concert

On Saturday, October 12, SEVENTEEN held a concert at Goyang, South Korea, to kickstart their World Tour, Right Here. While most of the show went by smoothly, a fire started to build on top of the stage amidst the light fixtures. When it came to the staff's notice, the members were called to get off stage. However, the fire was reported to have been small and was immediately taken care of by the staff.

Regardless, it left behind a lot of smoke, and the fans seated right below the stage were affected by the same. Several clips that landed on the internet regarding the incident showcase the fans trying to get rid of the smoke that was surrounding them. Additionally, fans were also worried about the fire possibly increasing in scale.

Translation: "It seems like there was an issue at the Goyang concert," said a fan post on X.

The fire was at the very top of the huge stage SEVENTEEN was set to perform on. However, one staff member managed to climb towards the fire through the railings full of light fixtures and put it out. The staff member's brave and quick action was applauded by the fans gathered at the venue, and the issue was swiftly sorted out.

Soon, the SEVENTEEN members returned to the stage to check on CARATs and address the fire that broke out. They also tried to lift the audience's spirits. SEVENTEEN's Hoshi began to sing about the situation jokingly. Here's what he sang:

"SEVENTEEN and CARATs are so hot. No wonder we had a fire in here. No, no, it's because of you ~ We are on fire ~! It's going to be fine, no matter what. Anyways, it all passed by!"

The rest of the concert went smoothly without any further mishaps or dangers.
