I’m so happy to be able to spend time with you all again. It’s been a long time, but we’re here for the Billboard Music Awards and we’re taking over the Santa Monica Pier. So how did that feel?
seventeen
About six months ago, I visited Santa Monica during a trip, and I was really excited to hear that we would be able to perform in the same space. I have a feeling it will be a unique experience.

Mingyu, I know it’s going to feel different for you, but Joshua, you’re especially the king of LA. You grew up walking down this street.
seventeen
I mean, Santa Monica is generally like a place where I used to hang out with friends on the weekends and stuff, so it means a lot to be able to perform there and to have a city event in Santa Monica. is. santa monica pier

Wow, that’s amazing. And you guys just scored your sixth No. 1 album on the Top Album Sales chart. So, does your mood change every time you win first place?
seventeen
To be honest, we are very grateful to our fans every time. Because they are the ones who make it happen.
tetris kelly
Yeah, I mean, not just the new album, but the new tracks as well. I mean, I was really excited about collaborating with DJ Khaled. How did you feel about releasing such a cool song?
seventeen
I respect his work and it was a pleasure to work with him. I felt nostalgic as the atmosphere of the music I enjoyed when I was young was vividly revived. And when I came to America two years ago, I said in an interview that I wanted to collaborate with DJ Khaled, so it was a surreal feeling to see that become a reality.

Now, look at that Tiger! I love making dreams come true, and of course you have accomplished so much as a group, the BBMA. I mean, what’s next? What do you still want to achieve?
seventeen
What about after BBMA? Should I go to the Grammys?Yes, let’s do it! Grammy Award!

Understood!
