SEVENTEEN Fans Go Viral for Clearing Chairs at 10th Anniversary Showcase: “People of Ppalli-Ppalli!”

A post on the Korean forum theqoo titled “Today’s Unusual Scene at SEVENTEEN’s Jamsu Bridge Showcase: Audience Exit Situation” has gone viral with nearly 70,000 views, drawing praise and amusement from netizens.

The post detailed the aftermath of SEVENTEEN’s special 10th-anniversary showcase held at Jamsu Bridge in Seoul. According to the original poster (OP), the chair arrangement at the venue created a bottleneck: only two narrow central aisles were available for the large crowd to exit. Combined with the tightly packed seating, the audience struggled to leave efficiently, causing delays.

However, in a moment that perfectly captured the famously fast-paced spirit of Korea’s “ppalli-ppalli” (hurry-hurry) culture, fans spontaneously began stacking and removing chairs to widen the exit paths. Dubbed the “people of 빨리빨리,” fans were seen working together, saying “eut-sho, eut-sho” (a Korean onomatopoeic grunt used when lifting or moving things) as they cleared the way.

Thanks to their quick thinking and teamwork, the exit process became significantly faster and more orderly. The post quickly garnered admiration online, with many netizens praising the fans’ initiative and humorously remarking, “They really live up to the 빨리빨리 nickname.”

This spontaneous moment of order and efficiency added a unique, heartwarming memory to SEVENTEEN’s already unforgettable anniversary event.
