The commemorative medals will be released in two phases within the year: the first phase in collaboration with KOMSCO and HYBE Co., Ltd., followed by a second phase next year.

Debuting in 2015 and marking their 10th year next year, SEVENTEEN has built a strong fandom worldwide with their unique charm. They are also recognized for continuously growing with each comeback based on self-production, writing a new chapter in K-POP history.

Recently, SEVENTEEN's 12th mini-album ‘SPILL THE FEELS’ ranked 5th on the Billboard main album chart ‘Billboard 200,’ and six consecutive albums have entered the Billboard 200 Top 10, solidifying their status as global superstars.

Sung Chang-hoon, President of KOMSCO, said, “Following BTS, it is meaningful to produce a commemorative medal for SEVENTEEN’s 10th debut anniversary. We hope the commemorative medal will serve as a bridge to introduce Korean culture worldwide, reflecting SEVENTEEN’s stature as a world-class K-POP artist.”

Meanwhile, KOMSCO is transforming into a cultural enterprise planning and launching commemorative medals, K-artistic coins, currency printing plates, and currency waste goods businesses using its currency manufacturing technology.
