With an upcoming world tour and their 12th Mini Album SPILL THE FEELS on the horizon, meet SEVENTEEN: One of history’s best-selling K-Pop acts taking their sound to the global stage—and beyond.
SEVENTEEN was destined for mega-fame. This K-Pop juggernaut came together in the pressure cooker of Seventeen TV—a raw, unfiltered live-stream talent-survival show that was essentially X factor-meets-Big Brother on steroids. After four years of intense training under entertainment company PLEDIS, the final 13-member lineup was born, debuting in May 2015. The fiercely creative ecosystem? S.COUPS, JEONGHAN, JOSHUA, JUN, HOSHI, WONWOO, WOOZI, THE 8, MINGYU, DK, SEUNGKWAN, VERNON, and DINO—divided into three teams: Vocal, Hip-Hop, and Performance.
Fast forward nearly a decade, and SEVENTEEN’s sonic range spans everything from candy-coated Pop to dark, brooding EDM and sultry, sing-along bangers. The numbers speak for themselves: surreal streaming stats, unprecedented album sales, and history-making live performances.
This year’s comeback is poised to be their biggest yet. Following the smash success of their Best Album 17 IS RIGHT HERE in April, they’re gearing up for the release of their 12th Mini Album SPILL THE FEELS in October. And with the upcoming SEVENTEEN WORLD TOUR ready to pull millions of CARATs (that’s their fanbase) into the frenzy, it’s safe to say they’re set for Pop domination like we’ve never seen. While the rest of the group is in strict album mode, MINGYU, THE 8, VERNON, and WONWOO carved out a moment from their hectic schedule to talk about influence, impact, and what it really means to be part of this brotherhood. Buckle up.
