SEVENTEEN consists of thirteen talented members and three subunits: hip-hop, vocal and performance unit. Widely known as a ‘self-producing’ idol group, members take active roles in the composition and production of their discography and choreography – all rarities in K-pop. Since their debut in 2015, this charming rookie group quickly became one of the most popular K-pop groups in the world. Their first EP “17 Carat” ranked 8th place on Billboard’s World Albums Chart and remained on the chart for 11 weeks, earning the coveted position of the longest-charting K-pop album of the year in the U.S. Their second EP “Boys Be” received even greater spotlight both domestically and internationally, becoming the year’s highest selling rookie album in Korea and number one on Billboard’s World Albums Chart. They were also the only K-pop group to appear on Billboard’s “21 Under 21 2015: Music’s Hottest Young Stars’ list, alongside worldwide stars like Shawn Mendes and Martin Garrix. Showing no signs of losing momentum, their latest EP “Going Seventeen” released in December 2016 debuted at No.3 on Billboard’s World Albums Chart, with the lead single “BOOMBOOM” on No.5 on World Digital Songs Chart.
Fans in North America were instrumental in bringing SEVENTEEN to their cities. SEVENTEEN fans in Chicago, Dallas, Toronto and New York created a viral movement on www.mymusictaste.com, an online service that brings together music fans to request their favorite artist’s concert, and voted SEVENTEEN to come to their cities. MyMusicTaste, Live Nation, SHOW NOTE and PLEDIS Entertainment collaborated to include these four most requested cities in SEVENTEEN’s first world tour.
