K-pop group Seventeen to perform for several more years after all 13 members renew contracts with their label
- Seventeen debuted under the Pledis Entertainment label in May, 2015, with the song ‘Adore U’ and have been a huge success since
- The groups’ members have re-signed with the label for an unknown further period ahead of the expiration of their seven-year contracts in 2022
There will be several more years of Seventeen – the K-pop group and their label confirmed on Monday that all 13 members had renewed their contracts.
Label Pledis Entertainment made the initial announcement that the group had decided to stay together and stick with it. K-pop groups typically enter seven-year contracts with their labels at the time of their debut. Seventeen debuted in May, 2015 under the agency’s banner with the song Adore U.
The length of their new contracts is not known, but it is common for K-pop acts to renew their initial seven-year contracts for an additional three years.
“In the six years since their debut in 2015, Seventeen has solidified their position as Korea’s top artist on a foundation of mutual trust and support with Pledis Entertainment,” a statement from the label said.
“The members of Seventeen wished to explain the significance of the renewed contract and their determination for the future by saying that ‘all 13 members agreed that we will continue to be together in the trust and strong teamwork that we have developed over the years, and as One Team [Seventeen] will continue to strive to bring great music and fantastic performances to fans around the world’,” it added.
