BTS is more than a boyband or a boy group to me. They represent love and hope in this unfair world for me. They don't hold back their feelings about topics that impact the world. They give the underdogs a voice that speaks volumes. That's why they are loved!
If we excluded “Left and Right”, Jungkook would still be the longest-charting K-pop soloist in Billboard Hot 100 history.
For comparison, some artists are yet to outperform “Stay Alive” (his lowest peak) with lead credits.
#SEVENTEEN's ‘17 Is Right Here’ debuts at No. 5 on the Billboard 200 with 53,000 equivalent album units including 49,000 pure sales! It's their 5th consecutive Top 10 album in the US! 💪💥5⃣🇺🇸✖️5⃣💿🔥👑🩷

[INFO] "SEVENTEEN-Korean National Commission for UNESCO establishes two regional learning centers in East Timor."
#GoingTogether, an educational campaign promoted by SEVENTEEN (S.coups, Jeonghan, Joshua, Jun, Hoshi, Wonwoo, Woozi, The8, Mingyu, Dokyeom, Seungkwan, Vernon, and Dino) in collaboration with the Korean National Commission for UNESCO, has reaped a harvest in Timor-Leste.
Pledis Entertainment announced on the 14th, "Two East Timor regional learning centers built with Seventeen's Going Together donation opened in April."
A variety of life skills education and literacy education, including computer, sewing, Korean, and English, will be provided at local learning centers established in Oecusse and Manatuto provinces, respectively. Through this, it is expected that approximately 300 people from underprivileged classes will be able to receive learning opportunities every year.
SEVENTEEN has been promoting Going Together with the Korean National Commission for UNESCO since August 2022, informing the world of the importance of education.
As part of the campaign, SEVENTEEN used a portion of the proceeds from their world tour concert that year and donations from the "봉봉이체" font the following year to support education in Malawi, Africa. In addition, they operated a campaign promotion booth at the fan meeting to support the underprivileged and raise interest in the future of education.
SEVENTEEN was exclusively assigned a special session at the 13th 'UNESCO Youth Forum' held at the UNESCO Headquarters in Paris, France in November last year and gave a speech and performance for about an hour. This was the result of a tripartite business agreement signed between Pledis Entertainment, UNESCO Headquarters, and the Korean National Commission for UNESCO to expand Going Together into a global campaign.
In the session at the time, SEVENTEEN expressed their determination, saying, "Learning can change a person, expand that person's dreams, and further change the world. We will support the establishment of education infrastructure in the third world for a better future of education." It received great attention from society.
Meanwhile, since their debut, SEVENTEEN has continued to spread good influence by donating to children's institutions, children's foundations, and vulnerable groups. They are solidifying their status as the ‘best K-pop group’ by expanding their influence not only as singers but also as global speakers representing the young generation.
