SEVENTEEN Gets First Vacation Since Debut

SEVENTEEN boys are probably enjoying their first vacation since they debuted in May 2015.

The members have been busy for more than a year already. Soompi cited the report told to Star News that the boys get a 1 to 2 weeks rest starting on Sept. 19.

The much-deserved vacation has been planned by SEVENTEEN for them to celebrate the Chuseok holidays. However, it was delayed for a week due to their performance commitment on MBC's "Music Core" last Sept. 17.

Sources told that The8 and Jun went home to China to reunite with their families and friends. Joshua flew back to United States while the rest probably stayed at their respective homes to pamper themselves with rest.

The South Korean boy group recently concluded their successful world tour "2016 SEVENTEEN 1st Asia Tour: Shining Diamonds" starting in Singapore last Aug. 13 and with their last stop in Taiwan last Sept. 11. Fans from Japan, Philippines, Singapore, Indonesia, Australia, Thailand, Hong Kong, New Zealand and Taiwan watched them shone brightly like diamonds on stage, D Kpop News reported.

The tour covered 14 songs including hit tracks "Pretty U," "Mansae," "Very Nice" and their debut song "Adore U." Fans were surprised by their performance of a Chinese song called "That Season."

SEVENTEEN is composed of S.Coups, Jeonghan, Joshua, Jun, Hoshi, Wonwoo, Woozi, DK, Mingyu, The8, Seungkwan, Vernon and Dino under Pledis Entertainment. The group is divided into three subunits according to members' specialization.

The subunits include the "hip-hop unit," "performance unit," and "vocal unit." The boys are not just good on stage but also in production and composition of their songs and choreography.

Their latest album "Love & Letter" was released in April and sold more than 150,000 copies and landed on number 1 at Japan's Oricon Weekly Pop Album Charts and Gaon Album Chart.

SEVENTEEN took the fourth place on Gaon's 2016 Half Annual Physical Album Charts taking the title of "highest charting rookie group."
