SEVENTEEN Members' Enduring Teamwork and Individual Success Drive Global Buzz

SEVENTEEN's 13 members are currently generating buzz for their second full group re-contracting, a rare feat in the K-pop industry. This long-term commitment is attributed to their unique approach to teamwork and leadership, fostering a deep sense of family among them despite the challenges of managing a large group over many years.

Dokyeom recently shared on the YouTube channel '집대성' that the secret to their unity is viewing each other as family, even when disagreements arise. Separately, on '채널 반달,' SEVENTEEN leader S.Coups discussed their 10-plus years of activity without member changes since their trainee days, highlighting a leadership model where roles are distributed among members, including the oldest and youngest. Meanwhile, member Mingyu's individual success includes his 2025 unit album 'HYPE VIBES' selling 887,581 copies in its first week, his role as a Dior ambassador since 2024, and a sneaker Asia ambassador for two consecutive years. The group's 2026 NEW WORLD TOUR generated $75.9 million from 18 shows, selling approximately 450,000 tickets, with an average of $5 million per show.

Local bloggers emphasize that SEVENTEEN's strength lies not in avoiding conflict, but in their ability to navigate disagreements while maintaining their familial bond. This perspective suggests their teamwork is about enduring together through challenges. The discussions around their leadership and re-contracting, coupled with the significant financial success of their tours and individual member endorsements, underscore their collective stability and individual market value.
