Seventeen
Seventeen talked about their group name!

The boys were on 'Immortal Song' on the 4th. On the show, the MCs asked why they were named Seventeen even though they only had thirteen members. The boys explained that the member count (13) + the unit count (hip hop, vocal, performance = 3) + the group (1) added up to 17.

Did you know that this was the reason for their name?

  1. Seventeen
  2. IMMORTAL SONG
