SEVENTEEN Completes Second Full Group Contract Renewal with All 13 Members

SEVENTEEN has achieved a significant milestone by completing their second full group contract renewal with all 13 members. This event is particularly noteworthy in the K-pop industry, which often sees groups facing the '7-year jinx' where contracts typically expire and members may depart or groups disband, especially for large ensembles.

According to reports, SEVENTEEN's 13 members completed their second contract renewal with Pledis Entertainment in July 2026, following their first renewal in 2021. This commitment includes members currently fulfilling military service, who will finalize their contracts sequentially. The group, known as 'self-producing idols,' has consistently expanded its global fandom, achieving records like 'K-pop single album highest sales' and 'first-week sales exceeding 5 million copies.' Pledis has pledged full support for their group, unit, and individual activities, including successful unit promotions like BooSeokSoon, V8, and upcoming solo releases from Dino.

Local bloggers express significant relief and excitement over SEVENTEEN's unanimous renewal, viewing it as a 'miracle' for a large group and a testament to their strong bond with Pledis. This decision is seen not just as a continuation of activities but also as a substantial economic opportunity, providing stability for HYBE's portfolio and reinforcing the group's brand value. Fans and investors alike appreciate the removal of uncertainty, highlighting the group's loyalty and its positive impact on market confidence.
