Seventeen seems a mismatch in number when the group only has 13 members. But this is because SVT is made up of three sub-groups: Hip-Hop, Vocal and Performance. When you add the sum of both, it equals 16 and considering their whole group as one completes the equation. The Hip-Hop team is led by S.Coups with Wonwoo, Mingyu and Vernon, the Vocal headed by Woozi with Jeonghan, Joshua, DK and SeungKwan, and the Performance by Hoshi with Jun, The8 and Dino.

There are four members in Seventeen who are not from South Korea, with the first two from China and the other from the USA. Though their features are similar to natives, Jun is from Shenzhen and The8 is from Liaoning for the former while Vernon’s birthplace is New York and Joshua came from Los Angeles.

It’s not a surprise for fans to show their dedication and support towards their idols in their own special way. As unique as the fan title for SVT fans is, the Carats have reciprocated the energy through an official lightstick dubbed as the carat bong paired with rose quartz and serenity as official colours. The fan club went to great lengths as much as the group themselves intently placed deep thought into making them feel special, comparing them to precious diamonds.

Albeit a common initial answer for the majority, Seventeen takes pride in voicing out their parents as their biggest influence. On behalf of the group, Mingyu declared that they are all thankful for their parents who helped bring them together as a group. Their role model, it is a boy band launched in 1998 named Shinhwa.

13 is undeniably a large number. In order to efficiently maximize time and resources, three to four members utilise one bathroom at a time, and they all use a single bottle of shampoo. And when travelling, two cars are used. It looks like a difficult situation, but the group nevertheless seems to be always having a great time together—cooking ramyeon within their dorm on the face of their clock which has a picture of Levi Ackerman from the Attack on Titan anime.

SVT composes and produces its own songs, making the group put a lot of extra effort into their craft every single day. Woozi revealed that what they do requires above-the-average hard work compared to normal jobs. And prior to their debut, they spent almost 18 hours in the practice room just to execute a breathtaking “young energy” performance, which is their music genre.

Were you able to get all the above correct, Carats?
