Seventeen’s first EP is called 17 Carat. It was released on May 29, 2015, and it became very popular, especially in the United States, where it was the longest-charting K-pop album of the year. This EP includes five tracks, with “Adore U” as the lead single, and it reflects the group’s concept of “boys’ passion.” The album sold over 82,972 copies in South Korea and peaked at number 4 on the Korean Gaon Album Chart.
The success of 17 Carat was significant because it was also the only rookie album to appear on Billboard’s “10 Best K-Pop Albums of 2015” list. This achievement helped establish Seventeen as a notable K-pop group from their debut.
Seventeen’s early success with 17 Carat laid the foundation for their future albums, which continued to grow in popularity and sales over the years.
