On Friday afternoon, history was made at the Glastonbury festival as South Korean boy band Seventeen took the stage. They became the first K-pop group to ever perform at the iconic event, solidifying their place in British festival history. While Dua Lipa was set to headline the Pyramid Stage later in the day, Seventeen wowed the crowd with their afternoon set, proving that they are a force to be reckoned with in the global music scene.
Consisting of 13 members, Seventeen has sold over 10 million albums worldwide in 2023 and has a massive following in Korea, Japan, and the UK. In an interview with the BBC before their Glastonbury performance, the group expressed their confidence in "blowing everybody away," and they did just that. The energy of their set was so electric that it even caught the attention of Paul Heaton, who was performing right after them. He described the backstage chaos as "bedlam" and couldn't contain his excitement while addressing the crowd at Worthy Farm.
The group, split into three teams, has a unique dynamic and unity, evident in their powerful performances. Fans from all over the world traveled to Glastonbury just to see them make history, including two people who came all the way from South Korea. One fan, who had seen the group before, felt lucky to have been able to see them at Glastonbury and praised their set for being even better than previous shows. Another proud mom, who was only at the festival to support her Seventeen superfan daughter, was blown away by the group's performance and couldn't wait to tell her daughter all about it.
On social media, fans and even unlikely converts couldn't contain their excitement. One Twitter user, who had never been a fan before, admitted to loving Seventeen's set and asked for song recommendations. And it's not just fans who were impressed; Paul Heaton himself praised the group's performance as "bedlam."
Before their Glastonbury debut, Seventeen member Choi Seungcheol talked about the responsibility they felt to deliver a memorable performance for both their fans and the entire audience. And that's exactly what they did. The group, formed in 2015, has a unique approach to their music and performances. They write and produce their own music and have even dabbled in acting. Each member belongs to one of three teams: the hip-hop group, vocal team, and performance team, all of whom bring their own talents and strengths to the group.
With such a dynamic and talented group, it's no surprise that they are breaking barriers and making history. The name "Seventeen" comes from the group's 13 members, divided into three teams, all working towards one goal. And after their unforgettable Glastonbury performance, it's safe to say that they have achieved it. The group's unique style and unity have captured the hearts of fans worldwide, and their success is only beginning. Keep an eye out for Seventeen, because they are definitely a group to watch out for.
