This is a photo of SEVENTEEN introducing their best album, 17 IS RIGHT HERE. It is a scene from the press conference held in Yeouido, Seoul, in April 2024, ahead of the album's release. Seeing the members gathered together alongside the album title made me look back at the story they shared back then.

This album contains title tracks released in Korea and Japan since their debut, along with four new songs. In addition to the title track MAESTRO, it includes the Hip-hop Team's LALALI, the Performance Team's Spell, and the Vocal Team's Anthem of Youth. I like the composition, which allows you to enjoy songs by the entire team as well as songs by each unit in one album.

We have compiled a total of 33 songs, including not only new tracks but also past title tracks. Since each song spans a different time period, if you follow the titles in order, I think you will be able to recall various scenes of the activities Seventeen has built up. It is also fun to see old and new songs in one list.

At the time, the members introduced the album as a compilation of their activities to date while signaling a new beginning. While a "best album" might suggest simply capturing the past, the inclusion of new songs from each unit also stands out. I want to cherish the memories of the songs released that day, along with the moments captured in the photos.
