SEVENTEEN's Jeonghan and Joshua Almost Went Full Band for "DREAMSCAPE"

SEVENTEEN's Jeonghan and Joshua revealed that they have been taking instrumental lessons and previously considered performing together as a band during a special fan event celebrating their first mini album, "DREAMSCAPE."

On Nov. 8, the duo held "THE 1995 BLEND - Served After 12" at Seoul Women's University's Main Auditorium, transforming the venue into a private bar-inspired setting for fans.

Throughout the approximately 100-minute event, Jeonghan and Joshua shared behind-the-scenes stories from the album's preparation, interacted with CARATs and performed songs from their latest release.

One of the evening's highlights came when the members revealed that they had considered incorporating a joint instrumental performance while selecting the album's title track.

"We decided to save the band for another time," they explained, adding that they have been taking various lessons in preparation for future opportunities.

The event also featured several spontaneous moments, including Jeonghan playing the piano and Joshua attempting a Korean two-line acrostic poem.

The duo closed the fan party with performances of "One plus one" and "No looking back," moving closer to the audience as fans sang along. When the crowd began chanting for another performance, Jeonghan and Joshua responded with an encore of "No looking back."

They also shared handwritten messages thanking CARATs for their continued support.

"Thank you and we love you, CARATs, for always being with us," they wrote. "Please continue to support us in the future."

The fan event follows the Oct. 19 release of "DREAMSCAPE," which has achieved strong results on domestic and international album charts.

According to the agency, the mini album topped charts operated by Hanteo and Circle, as well as Oricon's Weekly Combined Albums Ranking and Weekly Albums Ranking in Japan.

The project also appeared on Billboard's World Albums and Top Album Sales charts dated Nov. 7, while the duo entered the Emerging Artists and Artist 100 rankings.

Jeonghan and Joshua will continue their activities with two solo concerts at Belluna Dome in Japan on Nov. 21 and 22.
