Seventeen wins 2021 Hallyu Culture Award, becomes 2nd most selling group
K-pop group Seventeen keeps proving its dominance with back-to-back hit releases since their debut in the year 2015. Over the course of their career, Seventeen has had a very organic growth as they have recently been announced as the second group with the most charted numbers for physical sales in the year 2021 as told by Hanteo charts. In the year 2020, Seventeen ranked first in the same chart.
Not only that, Seventeen is currently appearing on JTBC’s reality show ‘In The Soop’ with all members of the group living in the middle of a forest which seems like it were somewhere between reality and leisure. With six episodes released so far, the last two episodes will release on September 19 and September 28 on Weverse.
