It’s been four years since our last Weekly Idol about SEVENTEEN and boy, has this group been busy!
The 13-member boy-group is divided into three sub-units, each with a different area of specialization.
The Performance Team, comprised of members Jun, Dino, The8 and Performance Team Leader Hoshi, are known for their razor sharp choreography and are actively involved in choreographing SVT’s performances.
The Hip Hop team includes Vernon, Mingyu, Wonwoo and Hip Hop Team Leader S.Coups are active in lyric-writing within the group, adding their own flair to SVT’s signature sound.
Last but not the least, the Vocal Team is led by the group’s producer Woozi alongside Jeonghan, Seungkwan, DK and Joshua.
SVT is known as a “self-producing” idol group, with the members actively participating in the songwriting, choreographing and other aspects of their music.
They are also well regarded due to their remixes, covers and arrangements of other artists’ songs.See below for their arrangement of the legendary Uhm Jung Hwa’s songs, featuring Jeonghan’s iconic part.)
On March 2018, members Hoshi, DK and Seungkwan debuted as a sub-group under the name BSS or BooSeokSoon with the single “Just Do It
On January 2019, the title track ‘Home’ is considered their most popular release yet, winning ten trophies on weekly music shows. The EP also attained two triple crowns which consist of three consecutive wins on any one weekly music show, and a grand slam which consists of winning trophies on Music Bank, Inkigayo, M Countdown, Show! Music Core and Show Champion in a single promotion period. It is the group’s best-sold release to date.
On August 5, Seventeen released the digital single, Hit, a precursor to the group’s third studio album, An Ode, which was released on September 16.
SVT continues to chart in the UK and across Europe and there have been hints towards a European tour – we can’t wait to see what else this group has up their sleeves!
