SEVENTEEN

SEVENTEEN is active as of 2026-11-15.

The name SEVENTEEN is widely explained as 13 members, plus three units, plus one team, adding up to 17. Fans often sum it up with the formula 13 + 3 + 1. That is why the number in the name differs from the number of members.

SEVENTEEN debuted on May 26, 2015, with "Adore U." The song introduced the group with a fresh, bright mood and choreography performed by all thirteen members. It is still frequently mentioned when people talk about how SEVENTEEN started, and it remains a natural first song for new fans.

SEVENTEEN is a 13-member boy group under PLEDIS Entertainment. The members are S.Coups, Jeonghan, Joshua, Jun, Hoshi, Wonwoo, Woozi, The8, Mingyu, DK, Seungkwan, Vernon and Dino. The group has kept its 13-member lineup, and all members renewed their contracts with the agency.

SEVENTEEN is divided into three units: the hip-hop team, the vocal team and the performance team. Each unit releases its own songs and stages, highlighting different strengths. There are also project units, such as BSS (BooSeokSoon), made up of DK, Seungkwan and Hoshi.

SEVENTEEN's official fandom name is CARAT. A carat is the unit used to weigh diamonds, and the name links to the phrase "Shining Diamond," comparing fans to sparkling diamonds. It is also taken to express the idea that the group and its fans shine together.

SEVENTEEN is often called a self-producing group because the members are heavily involved in making their own music and choreography. Woozi is known for writing, composing and producing many of the songs, while Hoshi has led much of the choreography work with the performance team. This hands-on approach is widely seen as central to the group's identity.

Besides the debut song "Adore U," tracks often named among SEVENTEEN's most widely known include "Very Nice," "Don't Wanna Cry," "Super," "HOT" and "God of Music." They range from cheerful, upbeat songs to intense performance tracks. Release years can be found on official music streaming services.

Before debuting, SEVENTEEN met fans early by sharing their training process through online broadcasts. The group then appeared on the MBC MUSIC program SEVENTEEN PROJECT: Debut Big Plan, which documented its path to debut. Fans who watched the members grow during this period are known to have formed the base of the early fandom.

An easy start is bright songs like the debut track "Adore U" and "Very Nice," then widely known tracks such as "Don't Wanna Cry" and "Super." After that, try the hip-hop, vocal and performance unit songs to see the group's different sides. Since group choreography is a major strength, official performance videos are worth watching too.

In Korea, you can see SEVENTEEN on music shows, at official concerts and at fan meetings. Because members' schedules can create gaps in full 13-member activities, check the official announcements from PLEDIS Entertainment and SEVENTEEN's channels for concert and comeback news. Official fan club details are posted there too. Please avoid scalped tickets and unauthorized filming.
