Today (October 15), the Pledis Entertainment group have announced the new documentary series, which is slated to premiere on Disney+ worldwide on November 7. The four-part documentary is set to explore the K-pop boyband’s first 10 years as a group.
SEVENTEEN: Our Chapter will see twelve members of the group “candidly discuss their highest highs and lowest lows. Returning to where it all began as they plan to celebrate their 10th anniversary, SEVENTEEN will look back on how they got to where they are and discuss where they want to go next, despite the prospect of temporary absences from the group on the horizon.”
Jeonghan is seemingly missing from the footage revealed from the trailer so far – it is believed that the documentary began filming only after the member was enlisted to serve his mandatory military service.
Watch the teaser trailer for SEVENTEEN’s Our Chapter documentary series below.
The trailer comes a month after members Woozi and Hoshi enlisted on September 15 and 16 respectively. Nine of the group’s 13 members will have to serve in the military – two of whom (Jeonghan and Wonwoo) have already enlisted earlier.
The group has also confirmed that individual members will remain active through solo material, and that the entire group will reconvene once everyone’s done with their two-year service.
As for the four members who won’t be serving – S.Coups is exempt due to an ACL injury while The8 and Jun are Chinese citizens and Joshua’s a US citizen – they plan to “stick together and make something great to showcase to the fans.”
In a three-star review of ‘Happy Burstday’, Gladys Yeo wrote for NME: “‘Happy Burstday’ might not be SEVENTEEN’s most cohesive release, but it succeeds at showcasing the group’s transformation over the last 10 years. The record’s focus on solo songs exposes each member’s strengths and weaknesses when they stand alone, but its group tracks are a self-assured testament to their chemistry and magnetism as a whole.”
