"We've had deep conversations among the members, and all 13 of us have decided to renew our contracts together."

The group SEVENTEEN (S.Coups, Jeonghan, Joshua, Jun, Hoshi, Wonwoo, Woozi, The8, Mingyu, DK, Seungkwan, Vernon, Dino) has announced their contract renewal with their agency, marking an emotional end to their seven-month world tour.

SEVENTEEN held their 'SEVENTEEN WORLD TOUR [NEW_] ENCORE' on the 4th and 5th at the Incheon Asiad Main Stadium. This concert concluded the world tour that began last September at the same venue. Including the encore concerts, they performed 31 times in 14 cities worldwide, attracting over 900,000 fans both online and offline.

The highlight was a surprise announcement on the last day of the concert. S.Coups stated, "We will continue to row together on the same boat," revealing their upcoming second contract renewal with HYBE's Pledis Entertainment. The venue erupted with fans' cheers, as this moment solidified their promise to stay together as 13 members.

SEVENTEEN cited their fans, known as CARATs, as the main reason for their decision to renew. They expressed, "We want to tell everyone we love them. We'll be back as 13 soon, so please wait a little longer." They also emphasized, "When flowers fall, stronger life is born. SEVENTEEN is the same. We will continue our unit and solo activities while staying close to CARATs." Jeonghan and Wonwoo, currently fulfilling their military duties, also showed their support from the audience, showcasing their strong bond.

The encore stage added to the excitement, reaching its peak despite a sudden downpour. The members didn't mind the rain and spontaneously performed songs like 'Clap,' 'God of Music,' and 'Headliner,' sharing a romantic moment with fans. Earlier performances of 'April shower,' '_WORLD,' 'Whirlwind,' and 'Round and Round' hinted at SEVENTEEN's new beginnings and the new world they and CARATs will face together, leaving a touching impression.

SEVENTEEN expanded their musical spectrum by adding hit songs like 'Super' and S.CoupsXMinGyu's '5, 4, 3 (Pretty woman) (feat. Lay Bankz),' and DKXSeungkwan's 'Blue' to the encore concert. Their powerful performances, vibrant band music, and dazzling production provided catharsis to the audience.

SEVENTEEN continues their active schedule with various performances. First, the team's 'Mevose' DKXSeungkwan will open 'DxS [Nocturne] ON STAGE' from the 17th to the 19th at Incheon Inspire Arena. S.CoupsXMinGyu, who started their tour earlier, will heat up the Kaohsiung Arena from the 24th to the 26th with 'CxM [DOUBLE UP] LIVE PARTY.' A group fan meeting is also planned. They will return to Incheon Asiad Main Stadium on June 20-21 for the '2026 SVT 10TH FAN MEETING .'
