SEVENTEEN is a thirteen-member boy group formed by Pledis Entertainment, debuting in May 2015. The group is organized into three internal teams: hip-hop, vocal, and performance. That structure is more than branding; it explains how SEVENTEEN functions, with members contributing to songwriting, choreography, staging, and the division of energy across a very large lineup. The members are S.Coups, Jeonghan, Joshua, Jun, Hoshi, Wonwoo, Woozi, DK, Mingyu, The8, Seungkwan, Vernon, and Dino. Their nickname as &quot;self-producing idols&quot; comes especially from Woozi&#x27;s central role in music and Hoshi&#x27;s role in performance direction, but the larger appeal is how the group makes thirteen people feel coordinated rather than crowded. SEVENTEEN&#x27;s early music leaned bright, youthful, and rhythmically nimble, with songs like &quot;Adore U,&quot; &quot;Mansae,&quot; and &quot;Very Nice&quot; presenting them as a group with unusual stage chemistry. Later releases such as &quot;Don&#x27;t Wanna Cry,&quot; &quot;Home,&quot; &quot;Left &amp; Right,&quot; &quot;Rock with you,&quot; and &quot;Super&quot; widened the scale while keeping the choreography and vocal distribution clear. Their best songs often turn teamwork itself into the hook: repeated gestures, fast transitions, and formations that reward watching the whole stage. The group&#x27;s growth into one of K-pop&#x27;s top album sellers came from consistency as much as spectacle. SEVENTEEN built trust through steady comebacks, strong variety content, and concerts that emphasized the members&#x27; humor as well as precision. Their fandom, CARAT, became part of that identity, following a group that could be technically impressive without losing warmth. SEVENTEEN&#x27;s legacy is tied to durability. Few large idol groups have kept such a clear group image while allowing so many individual personalities to stand out. As their scale expanded under the wider HYBE era, they remained recognizably Pledis-born: performance-first, member-driven, and unusually good at turning the mechanics of a big team into something emotionally easy to understand.

ZEROBASEONE, commonly known as ZB1, is a five-member boy group formed through the Mnet survival show &quot;Boys Planet&quot; in 2023. They originally debuted as a nine-member group — along with AND2BLE&#x27;s members Zhang Hao, Ricky, Kim Gyuvin and Han Yujin — under WAKEONE Entertainment, with &quot;In Bloom&quot; setting first-week sales records that demonstrated the massive anticipation built through the survival show. As a project group with a limited contract period, ZB1 operates with an urgency to make every comeback count, and they have delivered with consistent chart-topping releases and sold-out concerts. The group&#x27;s strength lies in their strong individual star power combined with impressive group synergy, cultivated through the intense bonding of their competition experience. Their fandom, ZEROSE, mobilized quickly into one of the most organized fan bases in fourth-generation K-pop. ZB1 represents the continued power of the survival show format to create commercially dominant groups with built-in passionate audiences. On March 15, 2026, they held their last concert as a nine-member boy group, sparking sadness among fans, who had grown fond of the relationship that had developed between the nine boys. As YH Entertainment did not renew the contracts of Zhang Hao, Ricky, Kim Gyuvin, and Han Yujin with WAKEONE, ZB1 are now promoting their career as a five-member boy group, with Sung Hanbin, Kim Jiwoong, Seok Matthew, Kim Taerae, and Park Gunwook.

Ladies' Code debuted in 2013 under Polaris Entertainment, quickly establishing themselves with their retro sound and powerful vocals. Their first mini-album, Code#01, featured the jazzy, swing-inspired "Bad Girl," setting the tone for their unique blend of electro-pop and classic throwback elements. The group’s lineup of Ashley, RiSe, EunB, Sojung, and Zuny showcased diverse talents—several had already gained attention through talent shows and the entertainment industry before joining the group. The follow-up singles, "Hate You" and "Pretty Pretty," solidified their presence in the K-pop scene, each release maintaining their rich retro sound while adapting modern pop influences.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLjUBC4HpVQHowever, tragedy struck in September 2014 when a car accident claimed the lives of EunB and RiSe. This devastating event halted the group's momentum but inspired a surge of fan support, propelling their song "I'm Fine Thank You" to the top of music charts in a heartfelt tribute to the deceased members. Despite the grief, surviving members Ashley, Sojung, and Zuny regrouped, eventually returning as a trio. Their 2016 release, Myst3ry, marked a stylistic shift to R&amp;B, with the lead track "Galaxy" showcasing a more somber and introspective tone, reflecting the group’s journey through loss and recovery.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7JYOzTl-ecLadies' Code continued to explore new musical territories with Strang3r and the atmospheric single "The Rain," which followed in the same emotive vein as their post-tragedy releases. Despite being active only intermittently in the years following the accident, the group’s later works, including the holiday-themed "The Last Holiday" and their 2019 single "Feedback," demonstrated their adaptability and commitment to evolving as artists while staying true to their roots.In 2020, the group left Polaris Entertainment and entered an indefinite hiatus as each member pursued solo ventures. Ashley debuted with the single "Here We Are," Sojung released several solo tracks including "Stay Here," and Zuny explored acting opportunities.Musically, Ladies' Code stood out for their retro-inspired pop, drawing influences from acts like Wonder Girls and Brown Eyed Girls. Their ability to blend retro beats with contemporary elements earned them a distinctive place in K-pop, with critics praising their versatility and vocal prowess. Even though their group activities are on hold, the members' ongoing careers continue to reflect the strength and determination that have characterized their journey since their debut.While Ladies' Code remains on pause, their journey—from their early rise to fame, through devastating loss, and eventual comeback—cements their legacy as one of the most resilient acts in K-pop history.
