(MHN Sports Intern Reporter Song Do-bin, Reporter Kim Hyun-sook) Group Seventeen (S.Coups, Jeonghan, Joshua, Jun, Hoshi, Wonwoo, Woozi, The8, Mingyu, Dokyeom, Seungkwan, Vernon, Dino) won their first Billboard award since their debut.

SEVENTEEN was selected as the winner of the 'Top K-pop Touring Artist' category at the '2024 BBMAs' held in the United States on the 12th (local time). This award is given to the K-pop artist with the most successful tour during the year.

SEVENTEEN said in their acceptance speech, “We think we can receive this award thanks to our amazing fans CARAT (our fandom name). We try to repay CARAT’s love with good music and performances, but our fans always surprise us with even greater love. We sincerely thank you.” They continued, “We all feel the support CARAT sends us every step of the way.”

He continued, “It’s especially meaningful to receive this award when our ‘SEVENTEEN RIGHT HERE WORLD TOUR’ is in full swing. I feel like this award is giving us the message that we should continue to move forward and get closer to each and every one of our audiences through music.” He continued, “I would like to thank CARAT and everyone who joined us on our SEVENTEEN tour. We will work hard to become singers who can deliver positive energy and happiness through music.”

The 'LOVE, MONEY, FAME (feat. DJ Khaled)' stage that was revealed on this day also proved SEVENTEEN's unrivaled performance ability. Filmed in downtown LA and Santa Monica Pier, the performance showcased a free-spirited charm with the theme of a guerrilla concert, and delivered the message, "Love is more important than money and fame" throughout the city. The on-site audience responded with enthusiastic cheers.

SEVENTEEN has been touring the world this year, solidifying their position on the global stage. Starting with stadium performances in Bulacan and Macau in January, they entered large stadiums in Korea and Japan during their encore tour from March to May. Their current world tour, 'SEVENTEEN RIGHT HERE WORLD TOUR', is also continuing its successful run, selling out concerts in the US and Japan.

In June, they became the first K-pop artist to perform on the main stage of the UK's 'Glastonbury Festival', and in September, they performed as a headliner on the main stage of 'Lollapalooza Berlin' in Germany, receiving praise from local media.

In addition to winning at the 'BBMAs' this year, SEVENTEEN also won 'Best Group' at the '2024 MTV Video Music Awards' and won a total of 5 awards, including 2 Daesangs at the '2024 MAMA AWARDS', achieving success at numerous award ceremonies.
