[The Fact | Reporter Jung Byung-geun] The group SEVENTEEN (S.Coups, Jeonghan, Joshua, Jun, Hoshi, Wonwoo, Woozi, THE 8, Mingyu, DK, Seungkwan, Vernon, Dino) has been recognized for their strong influence in the US.
On May 1, SEVENTEEN was the only K-pop group to be included in the 2025 "A100" list announced by the US organization Gold House. Gold House is a non-profit organization that supports cultural artists from the Asia-Pacific region and annually selects 100 individuals who have had a great influence on American culture and society to be honored in the "A100" list.
In particular, SEVENTEEN is honored to be ranked alongside famous names in the field of culture and arts such as legendary pop star Bruno Mars, master director Bong Joon-ho, and writer Han Kang – the first Korean to win the Nobel Prize for Literature – demonstrating the group’s growing global status.
Gold House describes SEVENTEEN as “the icon of K-pop”, emphasizing that the group “has risen to the top of the music industry thanks to its unique self-production model based on the combination of three separate units: hip-hop, performance and vocal.” In addition, the organization commented: “SEVENTEEN – entering their 10th year of their career – has constantly reinvented themselves. The members always surpass all expectations with their never-ending desire and infinitely diverse musical spectrum.”
In the past year, SEVENTEEN has achieved many brilliant achievements in the global music market. With the compilation album “17 IS RIGHT HERE” and mini album vol.12 “SPILL THE FEELS”, the group both entered the top 5 of the main Billboard album chart (USA). At the same time, SEVENTEEN also held independent concerts at BMO Stadium (USA), Korea, Japan and many major cities in Asia.
Thanks to these outstanding achievements, SEVENTEEN ranked 3rd on the “2024 Global Artist Chart” announced by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) - the highest position among K-pop artists.
SEVENTEEN is expected to continue to affirm its global position with the 5th studio album “HAPPY BURSTDAY” released on the 26th. The album name is a combination of “Birthday” and “Burst”, implying a rebirth - a completely new SEVENTEEN is about to be born.
