CARATs made headlines for reportedly renting yachts for the SEVENTEEN's B-DAY PARTY: BURST Stage. On May 25, 2025, the K-pop boy group held their 10th anniversary concert named B-DAY PARTY: BURST Stage at the Jamsu Bridge in Seoul, South Korea, free of charge.
The concert winners were selected through a raffle system, where 6,000 fans managed to acquire a ticket. Additionally, many fans flocked to the Banpo bridge, the Some Sevit area, and the Hangang Park to indulge in different activities organized by PLEDIS Entertainment for fans. As per Sports Donga, over 100,000 CARATs were reported to have visited Seoul for the 10th anniversary celebrations.
The Jamsu Bridge was completely packed, so some CARATs seemingly rented dolly boats and yachts to watch the concert on the water, waving their lightsticks. In particular, a Busan-based broadcast channel called KNN reported about this incident, which gained attention on social media.
