Seventeen made their debut in Japan in May 2018 with "Call Call Call!".

Promotion

Seventeen appeared on Japanese television to promote the album, including performances on Count Down TV^[3] and NHK's NHK Music Expo 2023.^[4] In December, Seventeen performed "Ima (Even if the World Ends Tomorrow)" at the annual FNS Music Festival.^[5]

Seventeen collaborated with Club Dam, a karaoke company, to feature the songs of the album from September 10 to September 30.^[6]

Following the release of the album in August, Seventeen embarked on the Japanese leg of their Follow Tour in September at Tokyo Dome, with more shows in November and December for a total of twelve performances in five cities.^[7]
