The K-pop boy group SEVENTEEN is all set to complete 10 years. The group officially debuted on May 26, 2015, and is known for being self-producing idols, meaning they are heavily involved in the production of their music, choreography, and performances.
To celebrate the 10th anniversary of their band, they will be releasing their fifth album titled "Happy Burstday." It will be launched on May 26.
The news was shared on the group's official Instagram handle with the caption, "SEVENTEEN 5th Album 2025.05.26 6PM (KST) / 5AM (ET)" (sic).

Along with the album release date, the boy band also revealed their plans for a new tour, a new unit single album, and additional SEVENTEEN content.
Fans of the group took to social media to express their excitement for the album launch.
A fan wrote in the comment section, "i'm down!!! always and forever"
"gyucheol unit GIVE IT TO MEEEE," wrote another fan.
Meanwhile, the members are also preparing to enlist for their mandatory military service. Wonwoo recently enlisted for his military duties. The group's second-oldest member, Jeonghan, had enlisted before Wonwoo.
The boy band, consisting of 13 members, was formed by Pledis Entertainment on May 26, 2015. The members are: S.Coups, Jeonghan, Joshua, Jun, Hoshi, Wonwoo, Woozi, DK, Mingyu, The8, Seungkwan, Vernon, and Dino. Throughout their career, they have reached a large global audience and grown into an internationally recognized K-pop group, known for their signature music and performances.
The band made a strong debut with their EP 17 Carat, which became the longest-charting K-pop album of the year in the US, and the only rookie album to make it to Billboard's "10 Best K-pop Albums of 2015."
Their 2023 EPs FML and Seventeenth Heaven both set records for best-selling albums in history, with FML earning the group their first MAMA Award for Album of the Year.
SEVENTEEN performs as one group but is divided into three units - hip-hop, vocal, and performance - each specializing in a different aspect of their artistry.
The name "Seventeen" comes from the formula: 13 members + 3 units + 1 group = 17, symbolizing their unity and teamwork.
