SEVENTEEN is a 17 membered boy group under Pledis Entertainment (home of After School, Park Kahi, Son Dambi, NU’EST, Hello Venus & Han Dong Geun). In July 2012, Pledis Entertainment announced that they would be debuting their 2nd and new boy group “Seventeen” in early 2013. Seventeen would consist of 17 members that would be split into 3 sub-units that would promote in Korea, Japan & China. Seventeen was originally a 5 membered boy group called “Tempest” that was set to debut in 2012 but the members were then moved to Seventeen. On December 2012, Pledis Entertainment announced the release of “SEVENTEEN TV”, which is a pre-debut show that would help fans learn the names and faces of the members before their debut. After the airing of the first episode of ‘SEVENTEEN TV’, in January 2013, Pledis announced that the boys that appeared in the first episode were not the final members of the group but were instead all trainees still. The final members of the group will be selected based off fan responses towards each member. The group is set to debut in June 2013, debuting the korean unit of Seventeen first.

Every morning SEVENTEEN has a hard time getting up but surprisingly, as soon as Seung Cheol says ‘wake up guys!’, everyone gets up in a second. Seung Cheol is known as the strictest guy, but deep inside, he is a very sensitive and detailed guy. After scolding Soon Young for not concentrating on the dance lesson, he gets Doyoon to soothe Soon young. He even remained in the empty practice room in deep thought on the day all SEVENTEEN members received a group punishment. He tells himself that he is the trainees’ role model therefore he tries to look strong and train harder. He became a trainee as a vocal member (although he says he’s the visual member) but he got interested in rapping, in love with rap and hiphop for about 2 years now. He’s got the voice and a warm heart, ready to shine on the stage.

Birth Name: Wen Jun Hui (文俊辉) / Moon Joonhwi (문준휘)

Home Town: Shenzhen, Guangdong China 
Blood Type : B

Probably because he has an  experience in acting back in China, Junhui has an ability to adapt to new environment. He may seem shy due to his Korean skills that need to be improved but he is a very thoughtful boy with specific goals. Seeing how serious he is with his goal becoming a member of SEVENTEEN, you know his dream will true oneday. He says his role model is Jackie Chan, for being good at everything so he is trying to become a pro at everything like him. Junhui plays the piano and reads books in his spare time but also acts like a kid of that age along with Mingming. He wants to be known as Junhui of SEVENTEEN. He is ready to fly!

– Song that describes me:   Beyond –  海阔天空  It talks about the importance of keep trying no matter what. I moved to Korea after having some acting experience in China. I’m 18 and I know it’s quite a late start to become an idol. I know it’s not going to be easy but I know I can do it!

Birth Name: Kwon Soon Young (권순영)
Stage Name : Hoshi

Home Town: Namyangju-si, Gyeonggi-do

• He had braces before, but had them removed.
• He speaks Japanese very well.
• He speaks basic Chinese.
• His favourite colours are black & white. 
• He likes Beyonce & Omarion.

So it’s Soonyoung that’s been practicing too much that his shirt is thoroughly soaked with sweat. Saying out loud in front of the camera that he’s taking out braces shows that he’s got the attitude. He’s the member that the trainees would like to introduce to their sisters and the member that the trainees most rely on. He thinks that it’s important to make the happy virus to get the team together. He says it’s quite a concern(as a joke) that MC Seungkwan is growing too quickly as an entertainer. He is trying his best to be what he wants to be.

– Song that describes me: 40-Zodiac
It’s a song that talks about falling in love at first sight. It’s not just the story this song is talking about but also it made me dream about singing infront of people. I aim to become somebody’s rolemodel.

Wonwoo may seem cold because of his sharp eyes but actually he is a cute boy. He always makes an eyecontact with people and softly hits anyone next to him when he’s awkward. The episode about Wonwoo saying ‘Chan~follow me’ and just walking around the room with Chan then letting him go shows how unique he is. It’s always a surprise to see him cry while watching ‘Gift from Room 7′ or listening to sad songs. He doesn’t like moving too much and thinks he is a little lazy. However, he already has 5 notebooks of lyrics that he’s been writing and he already handed in a performance list that he’d like to do on SEVENTEEN Concert. He is trying his best to show you everything he got

• He’s a big fan of Brian Puspos.
• He wants to meet Justin Bieber.
• He’s never had a girlfriend. He doesn’t even have friends that are girls.

Jihun’s daily routine is just training and training. He wants to show the best he got, aiming for more. He says he hasn’t experienced a slump yet during 3 years of training and even when he feels he’s falling into a slump, he tells himself that “it will be over if I try harder”. He always endures pain and keeps on practicing; he even went on SEVENTEEN SHOW on painkillers.

He has many nicknames such as ‘White puppy’, ‘white cake’, ‘tofu’, something that sounds soft and tender.

Looking at him practicing, sweating and the fringe all tied up, he looks exactly like ‘White puppy (the puppy from 짱구). New trainees often take training easy in front of Jihun, thinking that he is a soft and shy guy but then they get scolded by him. Jihun loves music, and he thinks he still needs more training… He is running towards his dream harder and faster.

– Song that describes me: Chris Brown ‘Don’t judge me’
It’s the song that I listen to everyday. I like the line “Don’t judge me” and this song just makes me relaxed.

It only took 10 minutes to know that Seokmin is a warm-hearted boy who just likes to play and joke around. He always has people around him, not a surprise that he has nicknames such as ‘Seungkwan’s endorphin’ and ‘Hyung(older brothers) collector’. He used to have times when he would look at things negatively but becoming a trainee changed him into the boy we know now. He says becoming a trainee was a turning point in his life and that makes him train harder and give out energy to the people around him. He hasn’t experienced true love yet, but he enjoys being with SEVENTEEN members rather than trying to make a girlfriend. He says his only goal for now is to get on the stage and shine.

Now we are used to SeungKwan with a mic than SeungKwan running around in Jeju Island. SeungKwan, also known as MC Boo or DJ Boo, is quite off-the-wall saying that what he wants the most is battery for his mobile phone.
He is a softhearted boy, crying more than Chan when meeting Chan’s father and a very cheerful boy, too, laughing at Seokmin, who just woke up, so much that he fell off.
He can joke around even with new-faced staff but when it comes to singing, he is absorbed in it.
