Slipping Into The Diamond Life One Reason At A Time – Here’s Why We Can’t Get Enough Of Trending K-Pop Boy Band Seventeen.

17 Reasons Why

1 These trailblazers are dubbed the ‘Usain Bolt’ amongst idol groups by Night Goblin host Jung Hyung Don for good reason. With their knack for churning out chart-topper after chart-topper, the 13-member hit machine proves they’re certainly one to watch out for. Their new album AI1 featuring the EDM-tinged earworm ‘Don’t Wanna Cry’ clinched the second spot on Billboard’s World Albums chart, which marks the group’s fifth consecutive release to land on the tally – an impressive feat that truly solidifies their status as one of the hottest K-pop exports of today.

2 While most groups tend to assign roles to different members, SEVENTEEN plays to their strengths by splitting into three specialised subgroups: the hip-hop unit (S.Coups, Wonwoo, Mingyu, Vernon), vocal unit (Jeonghan, Joshua, Woozi, DK, Seungkwan) and performance unit (Jun, Hoshi, The8, Dino). Not only does this give each of them an adequate amount of spotlight, it’s also a clever way to stand out from the pack. Score!

3 Not just your typical boy band, SEVENTEEN packs serious musical cred to boot. As compared to the boatload of manufactured pop princelings, this ‘self-producing group’ takes control of their own artistry – with Woozi crafting the tunes and Hoshi heading the choreography. Just how talented are these boys?
