SEVENTEEN officially announced its highly anticipated movie "SEVENTEEN TOUR FOLLOW AGAIN TO CINEMAS," causing a myriad of thrilled CARATs. However, this was followed by a subsequent boycott from the fandom due to one of its screening locations.
On July 23, SEVENTEEN released an official trailer for its upcoming film "FOLLOW AGAIN," which is scheduled to premiere on August 21 for a limited time.
Fans were ecstatic as this was a chance to relive or experience the boy group's unforgettable encore concert.
"CARATs, let's always support our Seventeen boys. No matter the circumstances, we will always remain united and strong."
"Just booked my ticket for Aug 22nd. Can't wait to see the guys on the big screen!"
"I'm so excited to watch this in theaters! I'm gonna bring my mom to show her what amazing people I stan."
"With lots of love and gratitude! Can't wait to go see this in Cinemas in Johannesburg, South Africa!"
"I can't believe after 9 years of stanning them, I actually got to experience their concert real-time."
"I was super lucky to go to 3 follow again concerts both in incheon and seoul. Watching this again in cinema to relive the moments."
However, on social media platform X (Twitter), CARATs have noticed that the film has included a screening in Israel, prompting them to urge a mass boycott of the movie. Fans have raised awareness of the conflict between Israel and Palestine.
Furthermore, netizens have also suggested that HYBE cancel the film's screening in Israel, while also trending the hashtag "#HYBEDivestFromZionism," and calling out organizer Trafalgar Releasing with "#CANCELTRAFALGAR."

carats4palestine has provided an easy way for us to send an email to cancel the screening of follow again in israhell, i encourage everyone who sees this to simply press the wordpress link they've provided and forward the email to the ones in charge.#HYBEDivestFromZionismhttps://t.co/LQ5a69YRYdpic.twitter.com/2p4Tu4QPKz
they’re showing this in israel? how are you guys okay with literal genociders watching and enjoying seventeen’s content? this should be ur last fucking straw. seventeen themselves should stop this from being shown in israel. the main protagonists of this movie can’t do that? https://t.co/VjiOUjrHiG
Seventeen, you have the influence and the platform to raise awareness of the genocide that is happening in Gaza, Palestine. As the UNESCO ambassadors, you have a platform to use your voice and stand against genocide inflicted by Israel.#SpeakUpSVT#HYBEDivestFromZionismpic.twitter.com/sEuIBwxrgA
even though this isn't the final list, hybe has a history of already doing it before and we shouldn't let seventeen's name be associated with that hell.
carats PLEASE boycott this. be LOUD. this company allowed d-day to be aired in isntreal during a gen0cide, allowed those settlers to get comfort from yoongi's words, and i can't stand the thought of them doing the same with seventeen https://t.co/Dp5eqS20Rw
To take a stand against HYBE’s decision to screen the SEVENTEEN ‘FOLLOW’ AGAIN TO CINEMAS in israel, and HYBE’s contribution to artwashing and zionism as a whole, we as fans have chosen to #BoycottFollowAgainhttps://t.co/jhA66qgVjF
