Formed in 2015 in South Korea, the band has
racked up more than 2 billion streams worldwide, and is best
known for hits such as "HOME;RUN" and "Left & Right." SEVENTEEN
is riding on the smash success of two back-to-back albums last
year - ";" (Semicolon) and "Heng:garae" each sold over a million
copies.
"Rather than saying that we've matured in a specific way, we've
just always tried to sincerely convey our most honest emotions
through our music and lyrics," said S.COUPS, rapper and leader
of the group.
With 13 members and 3 units, the group produces much of their
own material, from the music down to their choreography.
"I think a huge strength of SEVENTEEN's producing is that the
members have a very deep understanding of our album," said
member SEUNGKWAN, "and an even deeper affection for it."
Group members say their fans, known as CARATs, inspire them to
bring out a better album each and every time.
"We believe that we should give back as much love as we have
received, so with every album, we do our best to deliver quality
music and performances with a greater sense of responsibility,"
said another member, MINGYU.
