Seventeen's path to stardom has been marked by their unique structure and creative independence.

Their achievements in recent years include historic wins at the MTV Video Music Awards and MTV European Music Awards.
The group's musical talent continued to shine in 2023 with the release of their 10th and 11th mini-albums, both of which achieved stellar chart positions and broke sales records. Their album FML was recognized by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) as the top-selling global album of 2023, with over 6.4 million copies sold worldwide.
Seventeen's influence also extends beyond music, as evidenced by their appointment as UNESCO's inaugural Goodwill Ambassador for Youth. This recognition underlines the group's apparent intention to inspire and uplift young people worldwide.
