The group debuted on May 26, 2015, with the extended play (EP) 17 Carat,[2] which became the longest-charting K-pop album of the year in the US[3] and the only rookie album to appear on Billboard's "10 Best K-Pop Albums of 2015" list.[4][5] Seventeen has released four studio albums, twelve EPs and three reissues.
Seventeen is considered a "self-producing" idol group, with the members involved in songwriting, music production, and choreographing, among other aspects of their music and performances.[6][7] They perform as one group and are divided into three units—hip-hop, vocal, and performance—each with a different area of specialization. They have been labeled "Performance Kings", "Theater Kids of K-Pop", and "K-Pop Performance Powerhouse'" by various domestic and international media outlets.[8][9][10][11]
