Group Story
Pledis prepared them from 2012, showing their trainee days on the web show 《세븐틴 TV》. They debuted in May 2015 with the 1st mini album 《17 CARAT》 and 〈아낀다〉.
Centered on Woozi, the in-house composer who leads the music, the members create their own songs and choreography. They started with a fresh, youthful boy image and expanded to powerful tracks like 〈손오공〉.
In 2023, the 10th mini album 《FML》 and 11th mini album 《SEVENTEENTH HEAVEN》 set new K-pop first-week sales records one after another. Won the daesang at MAMA in both 2023 and 2024.
Released their 5th full album for their 10th debut anniversary in 2025, and all 13 members renewed their contracts in 2026.
