The group made their debut on May 26, 2015, with their first extended play (EP) titled 17 Carat. The EP was a huge success, and it became the longest-charting K-pop album of that year in the United States. It was also the only rookie album to appear on Billboard's "10 Best K-Pop Albums of 2015" list. Since then, Seventeen has released four studio albums, twelve EPs, and three reissues.

Seventeen is renowned for being a self-producing idol group, with members actively involved in every aspect of their music and performances. They not only write their own songs but also choreograph their dances, among other things. The group is divided into three sub-units: hip-hop, vocal, and performance, each with a different specialization. They are known as the "Performance Kings," "Theater Kids of K-Pop," and "K-Pop Performance Powerhouse," as they put on some of the most captivating performances in the industry.
