SEVENTEEN fans have reacted to the news that the group’s Glastonbury performance won’t be available for worldwide viewing.

Today (June 28), the 13-member group will become the first-ever K-pop act to perform on Glastonburyā€˜s main stage and fans have shared their outrage as they have learned thatĀ  the festival’s livestream via BBC iPlayer is restricted to United Kingdom.

“Letā€™s manage our expectations and still hype them up.@GlastoLive Please reconsider streaming SEVENTEEN @glastonbury,” tweeted one user while another shared: “The SEVENTEEN set? Perhaps only maybe possibly some parts on the BBC iplayer which is only available to residents of the UK……. Great choice. Thanks @pledisnews & @BBCiPlayer”

Though many dedicated SEVENTEEN fans were dismayed at the news of BBC iPlayer only being available for UK residents, various fan accounts have taken to X/Twitter to share information on how those outside of the UK can watch the stream via the use of a VPN.

Previously speaking to NME about their forthcoming Glastonbury set and making history as the first k-pop group to perform at the mainstage, SEVENTEEN member Seungkwan said:Ā  ā€œWe actually tend to enjoy that challenge,” with bandmate Dino adding “Obviously, itā€™s super enjoyable to share the experience with our fans, but itā€™s also very exciting [to be able] to showcase us to people who might be less familiar. It makes us want to bring out an even more intense performance.ā€

Jun also added: ā€œFor those who might be seeing us for the first time, the first thing that would most likely come to their mind is the fact that we have a lot of members,ā€ he reasons. ā€œI think we can leverage that to show a very special appeal that only we have as a team, as three units [the performance unit, hip-hop unit and vocal unit], and as individual members, so weā€™ll try to blow their minds with this weapon that we have.ā€
