K-pop’s momentum in Japan is not slowing down after KCON JAPAN 2026. Just days after the festival wrapped at Makuhari Messe with around 120,000 visitors, SEVENTEEN is preparing to bring fans back together for another major live moment in Japan.
The group will hold SEVENTEEN 2026 JAPAN FANMEETING ‘YAKUSOKU’ at Tokyo Dome on May 13 and 14. Additional shows are also scheduled for Kyocera Dome Osaka on May 23 and 24, making this one of the most notable K-pop events in Japan immediately following KCON.
The title ‘YAKUSOKU,’ meaning “promise” in Japanese, gives the fanmeeting a sentimental tone. Rather than positioning it only as a large-scale performance, the name suggests a reunion-like atmosphere between SEVENTEEN and their Japanese fans. For CARATs, the event feels less like a simple concert stop and more like a shared promise being renewed inside one of Japan’s most symbolic venues.
The timing also makes the fanmeeting especially relevant. KCON JAPAN 2026 showed how K-pop in Japan is expanding beyond music into lifestyle, beauty, food, and fan culture. SEVENTEEN’s Tokyo Dome event continues that energy in a more artist-focused form, proving that Japan remains one of the most important stages for K-pop’s global presence.
With Tokyo Dome and Kyocera Dome Osaka both on the schedule, ‘YAKUSOKU’ highlights SEVENTEEN’s strong position in the Japanese market. It is also a reminder that K-pop’s live power in Japan is not limited to festivals. From large fan conventions to dome-level artist events, the connection between Korean artists and Japanese fans continues to grow in scale and emotional depth.
For entertainment editors, this is a clean follow-up story to KCON JAPAN: the festival may be over, but Japan’s K-pop season is still moving at full speed.
