As 2024 is soon to come to an end its often a time for many people to look back on the past year from previous challenges and issues they have faced to their most recently accomplished goals and discovering new hobbies or even making a list of things they would like to accomplish. For many fans no matter the artist they enjoy there is no doubt that 2024 was filled with fun events and memories despite some of the hurdles that might have been in the way. There is no doubt that for many, 2024 was just an incredible year for many, it is no different for Seventeen’s fanbase (Carats). From making history at MAMA, Tours, magazine campaigns (solo, duo, units), achieving the 12th mini album, new records and more, Seventeen has showered Carats with love and curated attention. Where each received attention and achieved so many new heights in so many ways.
Seventeen (세븐틴) was originally supposed to debut with Seventeen, as the lineup changed the meaning of the name would later change to mean that they are a combination of thirteen members, three sub unit teams and in general are ‘one team’. (13 + 3 + 1 = 17). They would later debut on the 26th of May back in 2015 with their first mini album [ 17 CARAT ]. Since then they have released a total of 12 mini albums, 10+ singles and several OSTS’s (Official SoundTracks), and several members would make solo and unit debuts, including achieving impressive records for their own solo endeavours in their respective countries of promotion/release. So far this year, the members have taken part in both solo and duo promotions/campaigns ranging from but not limited to: debuting as a musical actor, appearing on different shows as guests and guest judges and modelling campaigns to name a few.
