Pledis Entertainment (Pledis) announced on the 13th, “We have reached an agreement to sign a second contract renewal with the members of SEVENTEEN,” adding, “All 13 members, excluding those currently fulfilling their military service obligations, have completed the contract renewal.”
Among the SEVENTEEN members, Wonwoo is currently serving alternative military service as a social service worker, while Woozi and Hoshi are serving as active-duty soldiers in the Army.
Pledis explained, “Members currently fulfilling their military service are also scheduled to sign contracts sequentially, in accordance with their service conditions.” However, the company did not disclose the duration of the contract renewals.
Seventeen debuted in 2015 and gained popularity with songs such as “Very Nice (NICE),” “Pretty,” “I Don’t Want to Cry,” “Son Oh Gong,” and “HOT.” They previously signed their first contract renewal with Pledis in 2021.

Previously, during the encore performance of their “NEW_” world tour held at the Incheon Asiad Main Stadium last April, the members had hinted at a contract renewal for the “full lineup.” At the time, they announced, “After many deep discussions among ourselves, all 13 of us have decided to renew our contracts together,” drawing cheers from fans.
On this day, the members said, “We’re happy to share this good news with our ‘CARAT’ (fan club name). We all agreed to stay together as 13 members, united by the belief that there’s nothing we can’t achieve when we’re together and a shared desire to go even further as a team,” adding, “We hope our fans will join us in our promise to strive for eternity.”
Pledis stated, “We plan to continue providing systematic and full-fledged support for SEVENTEEN’s group, unit, and solo activities,” adding, “We will faithfully fulfill our role as a reliable supporter and partner so that each member can further showcase their individuality and talents, and so that the team’s healthy energy can spread even more widely across the globe.”
