One of K-pop's biggest acts is playing a show in Vancouver, but before taking the stage Seventeen got fans excited as they posted photos from around the city.
Vancouver was even a trending term on social media Aug. 9 after one member, Mingyu (김민규), posted photos of himself playing beach volleyball and walking along the beach shirtless in Vancouver. The post already has nearly 2 million likes on Instagram and the photos have flooded other social media platforms, including Instagram and TikTok.
"Mingyu Vancouver version you will not be forgotten," wrote one fan twitter account.
"Kim Mingyu in Vancouver is a sight to see," noted another, garnering thousands of likes in the process.
At the same time, Seventeen's Hoshi also hit a beach (and Fairview).
It wasn't just the groups' beach adventures, though, that sent fans into a state of fervor.
When the members of Seventeen first arrived in Vancouver the airport was swarmed by fans trying to catch a glimpse of the group.

Vancouver is the first North American date for the Korean superstars after a two-year hiatus.
