Seventeen Graces Cover of Renowned American Magazine 'The Hollywood Reporter'

The K-pop group Seventeen (S.Coups, Jeonghan, Joshua, Jun, Hoshi, Wonwoo, Woozi, DK, Mingyu, The8, Seungkwan, Vernon, Dino) has been featured in a prominent American magazine.

'The Hollywood Reporter' unveiled its May issue digital cover featuring Seventeen on its official website on May 28th (local time). The American entertainment-focused publication, known for featuring global stars like Ariana Grande, Pharrell Williams, and Adele on its covers, showcased the members in bold and stylish outfits, radiating fashionable charm. Their gazes into the camera exuded the charisma, confidence, and composure of artists celebrating their 10th anniversary.

'The Hollywood Reporter' introduced Seventeen as "The world's most successful K-pop band," noting, "Their stadium performances sell out, albums dominate the American charts, and they headline major music festivals in Germany and Mexico – their global dominance has already been proven."

The magazine also stated, "Seventeen appears to have already reached the pinnacle of the global market, but their drive to reach even greater heights shows no signs of stopping. Their 5th full-length album, 'HAPPY BURSTDAY,' reflects the members’ deep contemplation of change and the path ahead."

In an interview with 'The Hollywood Reporter,' Seventeen expressed their readiness for a turning point. They stated, "We have prepared to forge a new path from a new starting line. We have always created music with sincerity. We want to share our story with those who listen to and love Seventeen’s music. All we have to do as Seventeen is to do our best."

Seventeen is garnering significant attention from global media following their comeback. British music magazine CLASH praised "'HAPPY BURSTDAY' as a bold work that harmoniously blends energy, individuality, and reinvention." Another British music publication, NME, analyzed the album as "a gift to fans and a bridge connecting the past and the future."

Seventeen is scheduled to perform their new song on Mnet's 'M Countdown' on May 29th, continuing their upward momentum.
