[Sports Today Baek Ji-yeon Reporter] Group Seventeen (S.Coups, Jeonghan, Joshua, Jun, Hoshi, Wonwoo, Woozi, The8, Mingyu, Dokyeom, Seungkwan, Vernon, Dino) is the only K-pop artist to be listed in the 'Top Tour' section of Billboard's year-end chart.

According to Billboard's 2024 Year-End Chart Box Score released on the 16th (local time), SEVENTEEN ranked 31st on the 'Top Tours' chart. They entered this chart with Coldplay, U2, Ed Sheeran, and Bruno Mars, proving their high global status. SEVENTEEN topped the 'Top Tours' chart in the K-pop category.

They were also selected as 'Stage Kings' in 'The 2024 K-pop Yearbook' published by Consequence of Sound, an American music media outlet, proving their reputation as 'performance craftsmen' once again.

Consequence praised, saying, “When you watch SEVENTEEN on stage, you can immediately tell that they truly love what they do,” and “The members seem to have their passion engraved in their bloodstream after spending over 10 years together.” SEVENTEEN told the media, “Every performance means a lot to us,” and “We will always do our best to put on a show that CARAT (their fandom name) can be proud of.”

SEVENTEEN is meeting fans all over the world with 36 solo concerts this year, including the 'SEVENTEEN [RIGHT HERE] WORLD TOUR'. Including the ongoing Japan dome tour, their total annual online and offline audience is close to 1.5 million. SEVENTEEN was also the first K-pop artist to enter the main stage of the UK's 'Glastonbury Festival', receiving favorable reviews from the local media, and performed as a headliner at 'Lollapalooza Berlin' in Germany.

Based on these achievements, Seventeen won the 'Top K-pop Touring Artist' trophy at the '2024 Billboard Music Awards', one of the four major music awards ceremonies in the United States, on the 12th.

Meanwhile, major overseas media outlets are also covering SEVENTEEN. Billboard recently included their 12th mini album 'SPILL THE FEELS' in 'The 25 Best K-Pop Albums of 2024: Staff Picks'. 'Spell', included in their best album '17 IS RIGHT HERE', was named one of 'The 50 best K-pop tracks of 2024' by Dazed in the UK and one of 'The 15 Best K-pop Music Videos of 2024' by Teen Vogue in the US.
