Bio:
SEVENTEEN burst onto the scene like a comet streaking across Seoul's skyline, thirteen young dreamers from South Korea who turned their sweat-soaked trainee days into a self-made empire starting with their debut on May 26, 2015. Formed under Pledis Entertainment, this K-pop powerhouse—split into vocal, hip-hop, and performance units—hit the ground running with 17 Carat, an EP that shattered rookie records and hooked fans with tracks like "Adore U" that still make your heart race. Led by the steady hand of S.Coups, with Woozi crafting hits from the shadows like a musical wizard, they've stacked ten number-one albums on the charts, blending razor-sharp choreography, soul-stirring harmonies, and lyrics that whisper about youth's wild edges. From the pandemic-era balm of Heng:garæ to the triumphant roar of FML in 2023, their sound evolved into something fiercely their own—pop hooks laced with hip-hop grit and dance breaks that leave you breathless.

This year, 2025, they've lit up the world with Happy Burstday, their fifth studio album dropping in May like a confetti explosion of joy and reflection, while the Hoshi x Woozi unit's "BEAM" single in March added a fresh spark of collaboration magic. Now, as their New World Tour kicks off in Incheon this September and rolls into the US this fall, fans—affectionately called Carats—are flooding X with clips of sold-out stadiums and those iconic tiger roars, proving SEVENTEEN isn't just a group; they're a movement, a reminder that when thirteen hearts beat as one, they can shake the stars.
