SEVENTEEN (세븐틴), also stylized as SVT, is a South Korean group formed by Pledis Entertainment. They are known as ‘a self-producing group’ as they are heavily involved in the writing, composition, and production of their music, as well as creating their choreography. They are also often labeled as the ‘performance powerhouse’ and won multiple performer awards.

The group consists of thirteen members and is separated into three different subunits with different areas of specialization: a hip-hop team (S.Coups, Wonwoo, Mingyu, Vernon), vocal team (Woozi, Jeonghan, Joshua, DK, Seungkwan), and performance team (Hoshi, Jun, The 8, Dino).

They debuted on May 26, 2015, with the mini-album 17 Carat and the lead single “아낀다 (Adore U).” Since then, they’ve soared to the forefront of the global music scene, gaining over 2 billion streams and selling 10 million albums.

Their 2021 mini-album Attacca debuted at #1 on US Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart and #13 on US Billboard 200 chart. The album also placed at #3 on IFPI’s 2021 Global Album chart, along with the group’s previous 2021 mini-album, Your Choice, in the #8. With over 1.3 million copies sold in the first week of release, Attacca gave the group the ‘quintuple million sellers’ title as their previous releases—An Ode, Heng:garæ, Semicolon, and Your Choice—also sold over 1 million copies each.

In 2020, the group was awarded the South Korean Prime Minister’s Commendation with Korean Popular Culture and Arts Award for their significant contribution in spreading Korean culture, followed with 2021 Minister of Culture, Sports, and Tourism Award.
