K-pop supergroup SEVENTEEN has reached a massive new height. They are the first K-pop group to perform a Tiny Desk Concert right inside the NPR office in Washington, D.C. This achievement marks a deeply important moment for K-pop music around the world, proving the group’s global power.
Tiny Desk Concerts are famous for being small, warm, and intimate. Artists play their songs using simple instruments right behind a desk. For a group known for huge stages, perfect choreography, and massive stadium shows, this small setting was a wonderful change. It gave SEVENTEEN a clear chance to show their raw singing talent and musical depth.
A Small Group, A Big Presence
While SEVENTEEN has thirteen members, only five members appeared for the show: Joshua, Mingyu, Seungkwan, Vernon, and Dino. This smaller lineup fit perfectly into the cozy office space. Even without all members, the groupโs energy was huge and infectious.
The members were surprised by the energy of the crowd. They said, “We expected a more calm and quiet vibe because itโs an actual office, but itโs literally a concert.”
The group performed with a talented live band. This let the members show off their powerful singing and musical skill without their usual complex backing tracks. The entire concert highlighted that SEVENTEEN are not just dancers; they are true, versatile musicians.
A Decade of Hits in One Set by SEVENTEEN
SEVENTEEN used their time wisely, playing a total of nine songs from their entire ten-year career. This moving setlist showed everyone how many different kinds of songs they can perform well, from high-energy dance tracks to soft love songs.
They started the concert with their powerful hit, โSuper.โ The audience was immediately hooked, singing along loudly. Then, they changed the mood to softer, more heartfelt songs like โDarl+ing,โ โ_WORLD,โ and โTo you.โ These songs allowed their clear vocals to truly shine.
The members spoke in English to the crowd and shared how excited and thankful they were to be there. The whole concert felt like a joyful, close-up meeting with their best friends.
The Best Spontaneous Moment
One of the most special parts of the concert was an unplanned moment. A fan in the small audience shouted out a request for the song โHBD.โ
Even though this song was not on the planned list, the members were quick to respond. They immediately sang a part of the song without any instruments, using only their voices. This unplanned a cappella moment made the concert feel very personal and real. This kind of spontaneous fun proves their real-time skill and is exactly why fans love SEVENTEEN so much.
The Grand Finale: Very Nice and High Energy
After the gentle songs, they brought the energy back up with exciting tracks like โSOS (Prod. Marshmello),โ โRock with you,โ โCLAP,โ and โHOT.โ
They finished the set with their huge fan-favorite song, โVERY NICE.โ Staying true to their tradition, they played an encore version of the song while the crowd danced and cheered loudly. This ended the historic performance with a wonderful burst of joyful energy.
Why This Is a Huge K-pop Milestone
SEVENTEENโs Tiny Desk Concert is much more than just a good show. It is a big, important step for K-pop music in the Western world.
