In a historic development for the K-pop industry, all thirteen members of the beloved group Seventeen have officially renewed their contracts with Pledis Entertainment for a second time, the agency announced Monday. This unprecedented collective renewal reinforces their strong bond and unwavering commitment to their future careers.
Pledis Entertainment confirmed that all members not currently fulfilling mandatory military service have already signed their renewed agreements. The remaining members are scheduled to complete their contract renewals immediately following the conclusion of their service, ensuring a full group commitment.
Anticipation for this landmark contract renewal began building after group leader S.Coups first hinted at the positive development during the final encore concert of Seventeen’s “New_” tour back in April, delighting fans worldwide.
This second collective contract renewal is a historic milestone, positioning Seventeen as one of the very first K-pop groups to achieve such a feat with all members. They previously extended their inaugural contract unanimously in 2021, showcasing consistent unity and a shared vision.
“We are absolutely delighted to share this wonderful news with Carat, our devoted fans,” stated Pledis Entertainment, expressing their gratitude and excitement for the group’s ongoing journey.
“Driven by an unwavering belief that their collective strength makes anything possible, and a shared vision to continually evolve as Seventeen, all thirteen members enthusiastically chose to renew their contracts. We sincerely hope that Carats will remain an integral part of this enduring journey, forever as cherished members of Team SVT,” the agency added.
Since their impressive debut in 2015, Seventeen has solidified an unparalleled position in the K-pop landscape, renowned for their self-produced music and innovative creative contributions. Their groundbreaking achievements include becoming the first K-pop group to surpass 5 million first-week album sales, alongside showcasing a vast artistic spectrum through successful unit albums and individual solo projects.
“Beyond mere promises of ‘forever,’ Seventeen consistently demonstrates through their unparalleled passion and dedication that they are continuously striving for perfection every single day. We are genuinely honored and thrilled to embark on this exciting new chapter with Seventeen,” commented Pledis Entertainment.
The agency extended heartfelt gratitude “to the members who have unwavering embraced our shared vision and placed their enduring trust in Pledis Entertainment. We also wish to express our deepest thanks to our dedicated fans, Carat, who have consistently stood firmly by Seventeen’s side through every milestone.”
Pledis Entertainment further pledged its full and continued support for all of Seventeen’s future endeavors, encompassing their highly anticipated group comebacks, innovative unit activities, and individual solo projects. This comprehensive backing aims to empower each member to showcase their unique talents and strengths, ultimately fostering even greater synergy and success as a united group.
