Their promotions have ended, but their popularity is still going strong.SEVENTEEN opened the door to a long-term streak by winning 7 music show crowns with their title song “THUNDER” from their 5th full-length album “HAPPY BURSTDAY.”

SEVENTEEN added a 1st place trophy on MBC ‘Show! Music Core’ that aired on the 14th.Although their comeback activities have officially ended, ‘THUNDER’ proved its power by taking the top spot once again while capturing the heat of the broadcasting industry and fandom.With this, they also set a record of winning 7 music show crowns.

SEVENTEEN’s ‘HAPPY BURSTDAY’ swept domestic and international charts as soon as it was released.Its initial sales recorded the highest figure for a K -pop album this year, and it once again solidified its global position by entering the US Billboard’s main album chart, ‘Billboard 200’, at number 2.

The title song ‘THUNDER’ also reached its peak.After taking first place on Melon’s ‘TOP 100’ right after its release, it also proved its music power by taking first place on Circle Chart’s digital weekly chart.It also ranked 14th on Billboard’s ‘Global(Excluding the US)’ chart and 41st on the ‘Global 200’ chart, showing its influence not only domestically but also on the world stage.

Continuing this momentum, SEVENTEEN is expanding their connection with fans through diverse content.The recently released music video for the track “Bad Influence(Prod.by Pharrell Williams)” has garnered even more attention for being a collaboration with Pharrell Williams, and on the 16th, the full version and main episode of “Nana Inn with SEVENTEEN” featuring PD Na Young-seok will be released through tvN and Weverse.
