Seventeen has delivered one of the most emotional updates of the year—confirming that all 13 members will renew their contracts together.
The announcement came as a surprise during the final night of their encore concert at Incheon Asiad Main Stadium on Sunday, wrapping up their massive world tour. Fans were left stunned as leader S.Coups shared the heartfelt news on stage.
“We will continue to move forward together on the same boat,” he said, officially revealing that SEVENTEEN is preparing for their second contract renewal with Pledis Entertainment under HYBE.
The moment carried even deeper meaning for fans, as it fulfilled the group’s long-standing promise to stay together as 13. For many CARATs, it was more than just a contract renewal—it was reassurance that SEVENTEEN’s journey is far from over.
The group wrapped up their 7-month world tour with an impressive scale, performing 31 shows across 14 cities and attracting over 900,000 fans both online and offline. The encore concert itself became unforgettable, not only for the announcement but also for the emotional atmosphere that filled the stadium.
SEVENTEEN expressed that their biggest reason for renewing was their fans. “We want to tell everyone we love you,” the members shared, adding that they will return as a complete group soon and asking fans to wait just a little longer.
Even members Jeonghan and Wonwoo, who are currently fulfilling military duties, were present in the audience, showing strong support and highlighting the group’s unbreakable bond.
Despite sudden heavy rain during the concert, SEVENTEEN continued performing without hesitation, turning the moment into something magical. They energized the crowd with hit songs like “Clap,” “God of Music,” and “Headliner,” while also showcasing unit performances and expanding their musical range.
Looking ahead, SEVENTEEN is set to stay active through unit and individual activities. Upcoming performances include special stages by DK and Seungkwan in Incheon, as well as S.Coups and Mingyu’s tour in Kaohsiung.
The group will also celebrate a major milestone with their 10th anniversary fan meeting, “SEVENTEEN in CARAT LAND,” scheduled for June.
With all 13 members choosing to stay together, SEVENTEEN has once again proven why they are one of K-pop’s strongest and most united groups.
