Filmed with cinematic cameras from multiple angles, the film transports audiences directly into the heart of the concert, allowing them to experience every thrilling moment. Additionally, for an unparalleled experience, fans can relive the exhilaration of the concert in ScreenX, 4DX, and Ultra 4DX, where available.
CEO of Trafalgar Releasing, Marc Allenby, said: “We are pleased to partner once again with HYBE and our longstanding partner, CJ 4DPlex, for another highly anticipated global concert movie event. This marks our third time bringing K-pop icons Seventeen to the big screen, including 2022’s “Seventeen Power of Love : the Movie” and 2023’s “Seventeen Tour ‘Follow’ to Japan Live Viewing”. Cinemas provide the perfect atmosphere to unite CARATs from around the world to enjoy this unmissable theatrical event beginning August 21.”
Jun Bang, Chief Content Officer at CJ 4DPLEX, said, “We are delighted to bring “Seventeen Tour ‘Follow’ Again to Cinemas” to theaters worldwide. Over the past nine years, Seventeen has risen to become one of the foremost K-pop groups globally. We are excited to present their concert, held at South Korea’s largest venue, the Seoul World Cup Stadium, where they gave an extraordinary performance for CARATs. Unlike the previous film, “Seventeen: Power of Love”(2022), which was a filmed online concert, this movie captures the vibrant moments Seventeen shared with their fans. With 4DPLEX’s special formats—4DX, ScreenX, and ULTRA 4DX—CARATs can experience the thrill of the Seoul encore concert in an even more immersive and realistic way. We eagerly look forward to CARATs experiencing this in theaters worldwide.”
