SEVENTEEN also topped the Oricon Daily Album Ranking four times with their latest release.

    The title track "LOVE, MONEY, FAME" (featuring DJ Khaled) has been dominating major Korean music charts like Melon and Bugs since its release. With the music video for "Eyes on You" dropped on October 21, fans around the world are eagerly diving into the rest of the album.

    SEVENTEEN is about to kick off their world tour, starting with performances in Rosemont on October 22-23. They’ll be performing in five U.S. cities, including New York, Texas, Oakland, and Los Angeles, as part of their "SEVENTEEN [RIGHT HERE] WORLD TOUR."

    They’ll also be heading to Japan for a dome tour, with shows planned in Aichi’s Vantelin Dome Nagoya, Tokyo Dome, Kyocera Dome Osaka, and Fukuoka PayPay Dome in November and December.
