Amid promotions for their unit debut, SEVENTEEN members The8 and Vernon reveal the moving reason for their early contract renewal, demonstrating how much they care about their fans.
On June 23rd, the K-Pop idols appeared on the YouTube web show ‘Salon Drip‘ to talk about the boy group farewell show and their new project under V8, but they also shared a sweet story behind their decision to announce their second contract renewal to fans.
According to the boys, many CARATs were anxious about the contract renewal situation and the military enlistment of some members, so they collectively decided to share the news during their encore concert in April as a way to tell them they will be back together.
“We thought, since we’re going to continue together anyway, let’s put the fans at ease first,” Vernon said.
