SEVENTEEN Renews With Pledis for the Second Time, All 13 Members In

All 13 members of SEVENTEEN have agreed to re-sign with Pledis Entertainment, their second renewal since debuting in 2015, and apparently unanimous down to the members mid-military service.

Pledis confirmed the news on July 13, saying all members not currently in the military have already signed. Those still completing their mandatory service will sign "sequentially, according to their service conditions." The label added it will continue to support the group's unit and solo activities alongside full-group work.

The members put out a statement through the agency: "We're happy to share good news with CARATs. With the belief that there's nothing we can't accomplish together, and a shared desire to go further as a team, all 13 of us decided to stay." They also asked fans, framing them as part of TEAM SVT, to join them in "challenging eternity."

That's a bold phrase, but the track record backs it up. SEVENTEEN debuted in 2015 with 13 members and has kept all 13 for a full decade, no departures, no quiet exits, no public disputes. In a genre where group splits are practically scheduled, that's genuinely unusual. The first renewal came in 2021; this second one pushes the commitment further into a future that includes, apparently, military rotations and all.

Pledis is a subsidiary of HYBE, which has had its share of artist-label friction recently. SEVENTEEN staying put, loudly, unanimously, reads as a deliberate signal as much as a business decision.
