Seventeen kicked off its Japanese tour at the Tokyo Dome on Wednesday and Thursday.

During the two-day show, the boy band saw 100,000 fans in attendance.

Seungkwan, who resumed his activities after taking a break because of health concerns, told fans he had “missed them.” S.Coups, taking a break due to a recent knee injury, still came to the concert to root for his fellow members.

“Seventeen Tour ‘Follow’ to Japan” continues at Belluna Dome in Saitama on Nov. 23 and 24, the Vantelin Dome Nagoya on Nov. 30 and Dec. 2 to 3, Kyocera Dome in Osaka on Dec. 7 and 9 to 10 and the Fukuoka PayPay Dome on Dec. 16 and 17.

Meanwhile, the band’s first Japanese compilation album “Always Yours” was certified triple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ). The album saw accumulated shipments of over 750,000 as of August.

The RIAJ gives gold when an album racks up shipments of over 100,000, platinum for over 250,000, double platinum for over 500,000, triple platinum for over 750,000 and million for over 1 million.

Seventeen received the million certifications for its first Japanese EP “Dream” in January and for its 10th EP “FML” in July.
