HYBE concludes ‘The City’ project with Seventeen in Japan

HYBE wrapped up its “The City” project, this time with boy band Seventeen in Japan.

The entertainment company revealed Friday that it recently successfully concluded its “Seventeen Be the Sun the City” event, which was held across Osaka, Tokyo and Nagoya as part of Seventeen’s “Be the Sun” dome tour in Japan.

Events, described to be like a theme park, were scattered throughout the three cities from mid-November until earlier this month.

In Osaka, express trains were covered in orange with images of Seventeen’s members. The Tokyo Skytree observation tower lit up in orange, which was the designated color for Seventeen’s tour.

HYBE in September held a “The City” project in Busan to celebrate BTS’s “Yet To Come” concert, and also in April for BTS’s Las Vegas concert. They offered various entertainment and shopping events throughout each city.
