On May 25, fans of Seventeen, known as Carats, made waves on Korean television during a segment aired by Busan’s public broadcast channel, KNN. The broadcast focused on an unforgettable moment from Seventeen’s 10th anniversary showcase held at Jamsu Bridge, an unusual venue that took place over the Han River.
The highlight? Many dedicated Carats resorted to renting yachts to catch a glimpse of the concert after missing out on tickets during the event’s lottery system. Among the amusing sights was a boat adorned with a sign saying “SS Going Carat,” and another yacht that showcased flags emblazoned with Vernon’s name. The sight of these enthusiastic fans watching from the water not only drew laughter but also admiration for their inventive approach to celebrating their favorite group.
Online reactions were swift and filled with humor. Some netizens likened the scene to a K-drama moment, specifically referencing the iconic "Boys Over Flowers," dubbing the fans as "CaJunPyo" while affectionately referring to Seventeen as "SevJanDi." Comments flooded social media, capturing the absurdity and joy of the situation. One user remarked,
“That’s not even a pirate ship and they’re waving Vernon like a flag lol.”
Others chimed in, expressing their amusement:
"I guess it takes that level of romance to make the news."

Social media was alight with reactions. Remarks like
“This feels like a sitcom lol"
and
"Renting a yacht and ending up on the news—amazing"
