SEVENTEEN appeared on NPR Music's popular program 'Tiny Desk'. On November 24 (local time), Joshua, Mingyu, Seungkwan, Vernon, and Dino from SEVENTEEN performed in 'SEVENTEEN: Tiny Desk Concert', released on NPR MUSIC's YouTube channel, showcasing a live stage of about 30 minutes. 'Tiny Desk' is a live series in a small concert format that allows for a focus on the music itself. Global musicians such as Taylor Swift, Coldplay, Billie Eilish, and Sabrina Carpenter have appeared in the past. SEVENTEEN was the first K-POP group to perform at NPR's headquarters in Washington D.C., demonstrating their presence as a 'global top-class' artist. The members opened with their representative song 'Super' and structured the performance with a setlist covering their 10-year history. They showcased a wide spectrum of charm with songs like the intense 'CLAP', 'HOT', 'SOS (Prod. Marshmello)', the sweet 'WORLD', 'Darl+ing', the refreshing 'Rock with you', and the lyrical 'To You'. Their 'performance artisanship', proven through numerous world tours, shone brightly. The members freely rode the rhythm, evoking admiration with a flawless live performance. They sang 'HBD' in response to audience requests, drawing out call-and-response interactions that reflected the veteran aura of an 11-year artist. Additionally, new arrangements and dynamic band performances enhanced the enjoyment of listening. The audience responded with enthusiastic singing and cheers, with pen lights and slogans visible from all around the office. They concluded with the encore song 'VERY NICE', familiar from SEVENTEEN's performances. The members actively synchronized with the audience, leading the excitement to a peak, and the cheers continued even after the song ended. SEVENTEEN expressed their happiness at being able to appear on a show they often watched, saying, 'We expected a calmer atmosphere since we were singing in an actual office, but it felt like a concert. I never imagined such a reaction on 'Tiny Desk'. Thanks to everyone, we had a great time. Thank you.'
