Following multiple tour cancellations as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Be The Sun tour marked Seventeen's return to concert tours following the release of Face the Sun in May 2022.

To commemorate the tour, Seventeen, Pledis Japan and Hybe Japan collaborated with local businesses and attractions to arrange activities for fans in the lead-up to the shows in Nagoya, Osaka, and Tokyo. All three cities had events including stamp rallies, themed cafes with dishes selected by the members, and photo zones, while each city had exclusive activities based on the local attractkions. In Tokyo, the Tokyo Skytree was lit up in orange in line with the theme of the tour, alongside a pop-up store in Shibuya. In Osaka, certain trains were wrapped in orange material with the members images, and the Osaka Hep Five Ferris Wheel was also lit up in orange. In Nagoya, a laser show and photo exhibit were held for fans. Hyunrock Han, CEO of Hybe Japan, noted that the intention of the events was not just to appeal to Seventeen fans, rather, the idea was to promote and revitalize local attractions, including larger and smaller businesses alike. ==Reception==
Reception
Franchesca Judine Basbas reviewed the Seoul concerts for Bandwagon Asia, describing the concerts as "an insanely high precedent for what's to come", highlighting the live band and the group's energy throughout the four-hour performance. Teta Alim reviewed the concert in Washington D.C. for the Washington Post, noting that the group lived up to their reputation, making it "impossible for any bad mood to persist during their nearly three-hour set", despite two of the group's members being absent after having contracted COVID-19. Sara Delgado of Teen Vogue wrote that the group "radiated as much energy as the tour's moniker". ==Set list==
