SEVENTEEN, written as 세븐틴 in Korean and often shortened to SVT, is a 13-member South Korean K-pop group formed by Pledis Entertainment.
The name represents the group structure. SEVENTEEN has 13 members, three main units and one complete team. The formula is 13 + 3 + 1 = 17.
The official lineup includes:
- S.Coups
- Jeonghan
- Joshua
- Jun
- Hoshi
- Wonwoo
- Woozi
- DK
- Mingyu
- The8

The group made its official debut performance on May 26, 2015. Its first EP, 17 Carat, was released on May 29, 2015.
The album introduced the group through the lead single “Adore U.” Billboard later placed 17 Carat at number nine on its archived list of the 10 Best K-Pop Albums of 2015.
Pledis still describes SEVENTEEN as 13 members divided into three units that form one team. The Hip-Hop Team, Vocal Team and Performance Team allow members to focus on different parts of the group music and stage performances.
Here is how old the SEVENTEEN members are as 2026, along with their birthdays and positions in the group.

How Korean Age Works Now
South Korea adopted the international age system for most legal and administrative purposes on June 28, 2023. A person now starts at age zero and becomes one year older on each birthday.
That means the official ages of the SEVENTEEN members in South Korea are the same as the international ages shown in the table above.
The traditional Korean age system still appears in older articles and casual conversations. Under that former system, a person was considered one year old at birth and gained another year every January 1.
| Member | Official Age In South Korea | Traditional Korean Age |
|---|---|---|
| S.Coups | 30 | 32 |
| Jeonghan | 30 | 32 |
| Joshua | 30 | 32 |
| Jun | 30 | 31 |
| Hoshi | 30 | 31 |
| Wonwoo | 29 | 31 |
| Woozi | 29 | 31 |
| DK | 29 | 30 |
| Mingyu | 29 | 30 |
| The8 | 28 | 30 |
| Seungkwan | 28 | 29 |
| Vernon | 28 | 29 |
| Dino | 27 | 28 |
