Seventeen, a popular South Korean K-pop group, achieved their first-ever weekly music show win on May 4, 2016. This win was for their single “Pretty U” on the music show called “Show Champion.” This achievement marked a significant milestone in their career, as it was their first major award win after debuting in 2015.
Seventeen debuted on May 26, 2015, with a live showcase on MBC, a major broadcasting channel in South Korea. Their debut extended play, “17 Carat,” was released just three days later and became the longest-charting K-pop album of the year in the US. This success helped them gain recognition globally, including being featured on Billboard’s lists.
Since their first win, Seventeen has gone on to achieve numerous awards and nominations, both domestically and internationally. They have won several prestigious awards, including multiple “Bonsang” and “Daesang” awards at year-end ceremonies, showcasing their consistent growth and popularity in the K-pop scene.
