Fighting!
how is seventeen doing these days as a pop group? they’re my ult since 2017 during the don’t wanna cry era (i miss those days so much). since then, that was the moment i knew had truly secured their spot in the k-pop world like, “yeah, we’re here to stay.” even non-k-pop fans were into them, and the song was a massive international hit. i still remember how they jumped from winning only two awards in past comebacks to bagging six that era, even beating twice at one point. and who could forget when they got recognized as the most synchronized k-pop boy group? that was legendary. at the time, i really felt like they were on par with the top-tier groups.
but then, life happened. i had to step away from the k-pop scene in 2020. now, five years later, i’m trying to catch up and honestly, i have no clue what they’ve been up to (regret checking fandom spaces though, it’s kinda toxic lately). but from what i have learned, it sounds like seventeen’s been killing it:
– they performed at nissan stadium during their 9th year (!)
– they finally won a daesang
– they beat adele for the fastest-selling pop album with fml
– they’ve had record-breaking eras like fml and god of music
– and they’re the best-selling album artists and #1 boy group in japan in 2024
so now i’m just here wondering are they still thriving in the scene the way it seems? because if they are… wow.
ps: i hope they can have that discontinued Europe tour they much deserved to have !
