When SEVENTEEN’s powerhouse duo HOSHI and WOOZI—affectionately the “96-line”—announced their joint project, expectations were sky-high. They delivered with BEAM, a sharp, three-track single album that fuses WOOZI’s meticulous production with HOSHI’s kinetic performance style. The record dropped on March 10, 2025, led by the celebratory hip-hop title “96ers,” with “Pinocchio” (featuring So!YoON!) and the club-ready “Stupid Idiot” rounding out the set. In interviews, the pair described BEAM as a raw, genuine snapshot of their decade-long friendship—an honest flex of craft and chemistry.
What is the “WARNING” Tour?
Branded as a “fan concert,” WARNING is a compact, high-impact run designed to bring BEAM to life while giving CARATs plenty of face-time moments, games, and talk segments. The shows launched in Seoul on July 11 and wrap August 24, 2025, after stops in Busan, Taoyuan (Taiwan), Yokohama (Japan), and Gwangju. The Seoul opener’s three nights were also livestreamed, making the kick-off a global watch party for fans.
Key dates & cities (highlights)
- Seoul, South Korea — Jamsil Indoor Stadium (July 11–13; livestreamed)
- Busan, South Korea — Sajik Indoor Gymnasium (July 19–20)
- Taoyuan, Taiwan — NTSU Arena (July 26–27)
- Yokohama, Japan — K-Arena Yokohama (Aug 6–7)
- Gwangju, South Korea — Women’s Univ. Universiade Gymnasium (Aug 23–24)
The aesthetic & production
The WARNING visual identity leans into bold siren-red graphics and industrial staging—a wink to the “alert” concept. Expect crisp LED architecture, tight choreographic framing that lets HOSHI’s lines slice through the stage, and camera-first blocking that mirrors the duo’s MV language. Even the poster art—both members perched on a lightbox “alarm”—telegraphs the show’s pulse.
Music you’ll hear
At the core is BEAM: “96ers” detonates as an opener or encore; “Pinocchio” brings a moody, alternative edge; “Stupid Idiot” flips into a dance break playground. Around those anchors, the fan-concert format gives room for re-arranged SEVENTEEN favorites, unit medleys, and interactive bits that highlight their contrasting charms—WOOZI’s producer precision vs. HOSHI’s performance fire. (Set lists can vary by city, but BEAM cuts are the throughline.)
Fan experience extras
Because WARNING is built for CARATs, on-site elements matter. Official merch and album pick-ups are organized per city, and the “CARAT ZONE” booth brings member-only perks and special gifts—plan time for those queues if you’re attending.

Why this moment matters
BEAM is more than a side-quest—it’s a statement of identity from two of SEVENTEEN’s core architects. As they celebrate ten years of working side-by-side, WARNING functions like a curtain-call on a chapter and a love letter to the fandom that made a duo project inevitable. For CARATs across Asia (and online), this tour is the definitive way to experience HOSHI x WOOZI’s new sound—big, focused, and unabashedly theirs.
