What y'll think was the main reason for all 13 SEVENTEEN members to renew their contract.... knowing Pledis behaviors....

Quote from ninichan

i dont think other than the chinese members and mingyu that they have very strong individual brands.

when i say very strong i mean to continue making the amount of money theyre making right now, like jackson, bts, cha eunwoo, taemin, a couple of nct members, most exo members. other than mingyu i dont hear about any of them.

tbh seventeen has a pretty quiet fandom and i dont see much public hype around them, other than mingyu but i havent heard anything since the scandals.

i feel like a lot of them resigned simply because in such a large group its hard to make a strong image for yourself and then leave. I think many nct members also have the same problem. strong fandom but not much hype outside the fandom, and many members arent nearly as popular as the face members and probably wont earn as much after leaving.

of course this is all just what i think, it could be any reason, we'll never truly know

you really have no idea about seventeen or any of the members, like literally none of what you said is accurate.

Stronger as a group than in individual careers, as with most bgs one could say only logical for everyone to meet a collective agreement of full group renewal.

Pledis treats their boys right. All of Nuest re-signed their contracts as well. That's literally 18/18 male artists that have chosen to stay with the company even when they were given the option to leave.

Great chemistry

Better royalty contract on physicals which they sells a lot.

More cf deals

Acting and solo gigs!

Part of it might be due to the members wanting to continue the Seventeen legacy. They have looked up to Suju as a long lasting group early on in their career and the boys really tried hard to make sure this team works. Having a group this large not losing a single member since debut era is unheard of in kpop and they know that. The members are likely on the same page on the group's legacy.

It's probably easier to try for one renewal period to see how things go since they are still doing really well. (I imagine the company dangling the 10 yr anniversary celebration in front of them. ) Pledis needs them to stay so I can imagine that the new contract might be more favorable to them and they likely don't want some of the members to shop around for another agency.
