Boy band Seventeen will go to Japan to hold meet and greets in Osaka and Tokyo in May.

The 13-member boy band will hold two events at the Kyocera Dome in Osaka on May 17 and 18, followed by two events at the Tokyo Dome on May 27 and 28 for the "Seventeen 2023 Japan Fanmeeting 'Love'" event.

The band has held concerts at Japanese domes before, which are the largest venues in the country, but this is their first fan meet and greet to be held at the domes.

Last year's fan meet was held on May 7 and 8 at the Saitama Super Arena in Saitama under the title "Hanabi," meeting with 60,000 fans.

Seventeen successfully concluded its “Seventeen Be the Sun the City” event, which was held across Osaka, Tokyo and Nagoya as a part of the band's “Be the Sun” dome tour in Japan last December.
