SEVENTEEN is currently one of the most popular Korean pop groups. The k-pop group, which has thirteen talented members who are vocalists, dancers, producers, and rappers, has taken over the world since its debut. Both the company and the members had to go through a lot after Pledis Entertainment went bankrupt and SEVENTEEN’s debut was delayed after years of training. SEVENTEEN rose to prominence as one of K-Pop’s best self-producing idol groups after debuting in 2015.
It’s difficult to deny our love for SEVENTEEN, who gave us hits like ‘Adore You,’ ‘Very Nice,’ ‘Good To Me,’ ‘Getting Closer,’ and many more. It also piques our interest in the voices behind the songs and how they got to where they are now.
