The band’s name comes from their 13 members, the three units they are divided into — hip-hop, vocals and performance— and the single team they form when they come together.
Led by producer and songwriter Woozi, the band released their first EP, 17 Carat, in 2015, which sold about 1,600 copies in its first week. Its title track Adore U reached No. 13 on the Billboard US World Chart.
Then, in 2023, Seventeen’s mini-album FML shifted more than 4.55m copies, becoming the most-sold K-pop album in its opening week.
FML was also crowned the best-selling album globally in 2023 by IFPI, with 6.4 million copies sold.
IFPI also declared Seventeen the world’s second-biggest-selling act of 2023, surpassed only by pop sensation Taylor Swift.
