Fans are overjoyed at the news that they have at least five more years to spend with SEVENTEEN, which will come to a total of 12 years overall after they debuted.

This is even more notable because most idol groups only renew their contracts for three years at a time following their initial seven year contract. If they only signed a three year contract, their contract would be expiring in just a few short months.

More than just 5 more years of music, fans are looking forward to even more content from SEVENTEEN, like their online series GOING SEVENTEEN.

No matter what SEVENTEEN do in the future, fans are sure to enjoy it.
