Being heavily involved in all creative aspects of the group from music to choreography isn’t the only impressive thing under SEVENTEEN’s repertoire. SEVENTEEN aren’t the first idol to self-produce, but they help normalize the notion that idols should be able to show their artistry and be celebrated for it.
With all 13 members known to have contributed to the group’s creative process since their debut in 2015, it’s no surprise that the Korean media and general public have given them the title of “자체제작 아이돌” (Self-Produced Idol). When talking about “self-producing idols,' one group that most certainly can’t be left out of the discourse is none other than SEVENTEEN.
