SEVENTEEN has struck again — and this time, with thunderous applause. The 13-member K-pop powerhouse earned their 77th music show win today on SBS Inkigayo with their hit single “THUNDER,” completing a rare and prestigious music show grand slam.
With this fifth win for “THUNDER,” SEVENTEEN has now swept all five major South Korean music shows: Show Champion, M Countdown, Music Bank, Show! Music Core, and Inkigayo — a feat that only top-tier artists achieve.
A Milestone Moment for SEVENTEEN
The group took the stage in high spirits during the live broadcast of Inkigayo, performing “THUNDER” with their signature intensity and flawless synchronization. After being announced as the winner, the members delivered an emotional acceptance speech.
“This win is a celebration of everyone who made this album possible. Thank you to CARATs for always standing by us. Your support is what keeps us going,” said leader S.Coups.
The encore stage was filled with lighthearted energy as members danced freely, hugged one another, and even playfully shouted “Happy Burstday!” — a nod to the title of their fifth studio album.
