• SEVENTEEN Makes History as First K-pop Artist to Perform at U.S. Disney Year-End Special

    SEVENTEEN is set to make history as the first K-pop group to perform at the U.S. Disney year-end special!

    On November 20, U.S. network ABC announced that SEVENTEEN (S.Coups, Jeonghan, Joshua, Jun, Hoshi, Wonwoo, Woozi, DK, Mingyu, Seungkwan, Vernon, and Dino) will be part of The Wonderful World of Disney: Holiday Spectacular, airing on December 1st (local time). The group will perform a special stage of "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town."

    The Wonderful World of Disney is an annual holiday program that is celebrating its 9th year. Past stars who have appeared on the show include Mariah Carey, Michael Bolton, Kelly Clarkson, and Andrea Bocelli, to name a few.

    SEVENTEEN’s inclusion in this year's lineup alongside big names like Elton John, John Legend, and Pentatonix shows just how much their popularity is growing in North America. The show will be hosted by Julianne Hough and Alfonso Ribeiro, who are also the co-hosts of ABC’s Dancing with the Stars.

    This performance comes after SEVENTEEN’s successful North American tour, SEVENTEEN [RIGHT HERE] WORLD TOUR, where they performed in five U.S. cities. Their Los Angeles stop was especially exciting as they held SEVENTEEN The City, a unique event that combined their concert with local experiences, generating major excitement.

    Looking ahead, SEVENTEEN will release their 4th Japanese single, Shohikigen, on November 27th and will embark on a dome tour in Japan, starting at Vantelin Dome Nagoya on November 29-30. The tour will continue in major cities like Tokyo, Osaka, and Fukuoka throughout December.

    This is another big milestone in SEVENTEEN’s impressive global journey!
