SEVENTEEN have attracted attention for their recent interactions with their translator.
SEVENTEEN is currently on their Right here world tour and has already concluded concerts in several countries. The group’s Japanese leg began in late November in Nagoya and recently concluded in Fukuoka after three days of concerts.
As usual, the group put on fantastic shows, with the added bonus that fans at home were able to watch the third night of the concerts via official live stream.

During his closing speech, Dino she thanked the group’s Japanese translator, leading the audience to applaud her. Seungkwan he then speaks, mentioning how the fans must have been accustomed to hearing the translator’s voice and commenting that the whole group loved him.
She shared that the translator has been with them since they were barely able to say thank you in Japanese and revealed that it was her final show. While translating, the translator feels audibly choked, translating what he says into tears.

Many fans were emotional about how close the group is to their translator, recalling the group’s reactions when they learned he named his son Wonwoo.
Hoshi interestingly tells me that the translator’s son is called Wonwoo 🤣
it seems like only Hoshi and Wonwoo were the ones who knew because the other members were panicking at first lol pic.twitter.com/6Cn65ljjAm— inside (@user150696) November 27, 2022
