SEVENTEEN swaps stadiums for swivel chairs in stripped-down Tiny Desk debut

SEVENTEEN slips behind NPR's iconic desk, becoming the first K-pop group to perform a full Tiny Desk concert in Washington, D.C. Their light stick now sits wedged between legacy trinkets, a subtle nod to the group's place in this lineup of sonic artifacts.

Navigating a stage with no monitors, no in-ears, and zero editing, five members — Joshua, Mingyu, Seungkwan, Vernon, and Dino — trade arena acoustics for office ambiance. Vernon quips about the unusually energizing crowd, masking any earlier jitters beneath polished vocals and seamless harmonies.

SEVENTEEN joins Smurfs in candy-colored diplomacy, drops collab on Oct 23

SEVENTEEN links hands with the Smurfs in a global cross-brand spectacle, threading together themes of music, camaraderie, and excessive optimism. Slated for October 23, the release aligns with the group's “God of Music” music video—hardly a coincidence when one's positioning tilts toward becoming more than just a chart-topping act.

The Smurfs’ evergreen innocence meets SEVENTEEN’s attempt at cultural symbolism, pushing the narrative of harmony through polished visuals and cartoon diplomacy. The result feels strategic, if not curiously saccharine.

SEVENTEEN rewinds a decade, plots futures split by duty in Disney+ docuseries

SEVENTEEN launches their four-part documentary series Our Chapter on Disney+ this November 7, timing it as a reflection on their first decade together. Twelve of the thirteen members dissect their triumphs and tribulations, retracing their formative steps while contemplating a future complicated by military duties.

The footage omits Jeonghan, already enlisted, while other members either serve or prepare to. Exemptions and citizenships create a split path, but solo releases and planned reunions hint at continuity masked as farewell.
