[260717] SEVENTEEN's official twitter update:

[EVERY WONWOO] HBD WW 🎂 #WONWOO #원우 #SEVENTEEN #세븐틴 #EVERY_WONWOO

He revealed the full story.

SEVENTEEN’s Dino appeared on Ahn So Hee’s YouTube channel and shared the pressure and struggles he had as the youngest member of the group.

He revealed his experience of moving to Seoul at the age of 14 and living with a large group for 14 years.

He explained that it was tough to understand the members’ different personalities and even revealed that he once declared he would leave the team during a difficult time at age 20.

The pressure to continue to maintain a diligent image was the cause of his decision. He reached his limit while silently enduring his role as the youngest.

Ultimately, he gathered the older members together to express his emotions and revealed his intention to leave the group. But this incident became a turning point, allowing him to have more serious conversations with the members and to understand one another.

He also confessed that he found the most comfort when interacting with fans, and stated that he is determined to find his own identity through both group and solo activities.

Meanwhile, PLEDIS announced that all 13 members have renewed contracts with the agency.

Boy group SEVENTEEN will continue as a full 13-member group under their long-time agency, PLEDIS Entertainment, after renewing their contracts for a second time.

On July 13, 2026, the agency announced the news. "We have come to an agreement with SEVENTEEN to sign a second contract renewal," PLEDIS stated. The agency added that all members not currently fulfilling their mandatory military service have completed the signing, while those serving will sign sequentially as their conditions permit.

The members shared a message about their decision. "With the belief that there's nothing we can't do if we're together, and the consensus that we want to go further as a team, all 13 of us decided to stick together," the group said. "We ask our fans to join us in our promise to challenge eternity."

This marks the group's second renewal with the agency, following their first early renewal in 2021. Since debuting in 2015, SEVENTEEN has maintained its original 13-member lineup.

PLEDIS Entertainment added, "We will continue to systematically and fully support SEVENTEEN's group, unit, and individual activities."

As they announced at their 10th anniversary fan meeting event last April, all members of SEVENTEEN have officially renewed their contracts with PLEDIS Entertainment!

On July 13, PLEDIS Entertainment released an official statement, announcing that all 13 members have once again renewed their contracts.

Read the agency’s full statement below:

Hello. This is PLEDIS Entertainment. The members of SEVENTEEN (S.Coups, Jeonghan, Joshua, Jun, Hoshi, Wonwoo, Woozi, The8, Mingyu, DK, Seungkwan, Vernon, and Dino) have agreed to renew their contracts with PLEDIS Entertainment for a second time. We are delighted to once again announce our continued journey with all 13 members. The contract renewal process has been completed for all members with the exception of those currently carrying out their military service, and the remaining members will be completing the process in alignment with their respective military service conditions. Since their debut in 2015, SEVENTEEN has built a distinctive musical identity rooted in their “self-producing” approach. Following an early contract renewal in 2021, they have achieved a series of extraordinary milestones on the global stage, setting unprecedented records and multiple K-pop firsts as they have grown into artists who “will go down in history.” SEVENTEEN’s strong teamwork and fearless approach to new challenges have served as an inspiration not only to us but also to junior artists. SEVENTEEN does not promise “eternity” lightly. Rather, the artists show their dedication to it every day through their passion and hard work. It is an honor to be able to start another new chapter together. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the members for their continued trust in and alignment with our vision. We are also deeply grateful to CARATs (SEVENTEEN’s official fan club name), who have always stood as a steadfast pillar of support for SEVENTEEN. PLEDIS Entertainment will continue to provide full and strategic support for SEVENTEEN’s group, unit, and individual activities. We are dedicated to our role as a reliable partner and collaborator, and will be working to ensure that each member can further showcase their individuality and capabilities, and that the group’s positive energy can reach an even wider global audience. Furthermore, we look forward to the day when the members complete their mandatory military service and stand before you again as a complete group of 13. We will continue to do our best in preparation for the successful resumption of full-group activities. We ask for your continued interest and support for SEVENTEEN as they continue their journey toward eternity. Thank you.
