K-pop sensation SEVENTEEN is preparing to captivate their global fanbase once again with the upcoming release of their 12th mini-album, slated for October. This highly anticipated album marks another significant milestone in the group's illustrious career, following their successful earlier release, '17 Right Here,' which featured the hit track 'Maestro.'Â
Pledis Entertainment, SEVENTEEN’s management company, has confirmed that the mini-album will be followed by a grand world tour, aptly named SEVENTEEN [RIGHT HERE] WORLD TOUR. This extensive tour will see the 13-member group performing in various locations across Korea, the United States, and Asia, offering their fans—known as CARATs—an opportunity to experience their new music life. The tour is set to cover a range of venues, including a highly anticipated dome tour in Japan, highlighting SEVENTEEN's commitment to connecting with fans across different regions and showcasing their global appeal.
SEVENTEEN’s lineup includes SCoups, Jeonghan, Joshua, Jun, Hoshi, Wonwoo, Woozi, The 8, Mingyu, DK, Seungkwan, Vernon, and Dino. Each member brings a unique set of skills to the group, contributing to their distinct sound and performance style. The group's approach is distinguished by their division into three specialized units: hip-hop, vocal, and performance. This structure allows them to explore a broad spectrum of musical styles and deliver dynamic performances that set them apart from their peers in the competitive K-pop industry.
In 2022, SEVENTEEN made history by becoming the first K-pop group to secure victories at both the MTV Video Music Awards and MTV European Music Awards. This achievement was followed by the release of their 10th and 11th mini albums, which received widespread acclaim and topped prestigious charts such as the Billboard 200 and World Albums charts. Their 10th mini album, *FML*, achieved remarkable success, being recognized as the best-selling global album of 2023 by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI). With over 6.2 million copies sold worldwide, *FML* underscored SEVENTEEN's global influence and enduring popularity.
As SEVENTEEN gears up for the release of their new album and the commencement of their world tour, anticipation among their global fanbase is reaching new heights. The group's consistent ability to innovate and connect with audiences worldwide through their music and performances continues to solidify their status as one of the leading acts in the international K-pop scene. With their impressive track record and ongoing commitment to excellence, SEVENTEEN is poised to make an even greater impact in the coming months.
