K-Pop group SEVENTEEN announced this week that they will release s new documentary titled Seventeen: Our Chapter.
The documentary, which will be in four parts, has a confirmed release date of November 7, and will be available on Disney Plus worldwide.
According to label Pledis Entertainment (now a subsidiary of HYBE), the series will focus on their first 10 years as a group.
What to Expect: Themes and Episodes
Seventeen: Our Chapter will chronicle key landmarks in SEVENTEEN’s career, including their ‘Right Here’ world tour, the ‘Seventeen in Carat Land’ fan meeting, and the production of their fifth studio album, Happy Burstday. The documentary will also showcase candid reflections on the group’s self-producing ethos, internal struggles, and relationships with their fanbase, known as CARATs.
Episodes will roll out weekly, with the first installment on November 7 followed by installments on November 14, 21, and 28 (KST).
The Group Behind The Story
SEVENTEEN debuted in May 2015, as a 13-member boy band: S.Coups, Joshua, Jeonghan, Mingyu, Jun, Hoshi, Wonwoo, Woozi, DK, The8, Seungkwan, Vernon, and Dino.
From the start, they distinguished themselves as a “self-producing idol” group: writing, choreographing, and producing much of their output internally. Over the years, they’ve released multiple albums, led global tours, and maintained a robust video and content archive.
Their 2025 album Happy Burstday celebrated their tenth anniversary and features the participation of all members. In parallel, the group is now conducting their ‘New World’ Tour, even as two members (Woozi and Hoshi) have begun their mandatory military service.

SEVENTEEN’s body of work spans five studio albums, 13 EPs, and 35 singles, nearly all of which bear songwriting, producing, or choreography credits from the members themselves — a rarity in the idol system.
Albums such as Face the Sun (2022) and its repackage Sector 17 solidified their global standing, with Face the Sun surpassing 3 million copies sold. Their 2023 EP Seventeenth Heaven broke records as the most pre-ordered K-pop album in history, amassing 5.2 million preorders before release.
Their 2024 compilation album 17 Is Right Here served as a retrospective of their decade-long journey, featuring remastered hits like ‘Very Nice’, ‘Don’t Wanna Cry’, and ‘Super’, alongside new singles that bridged their early optimism with their current artistic maturity.
Known for blending pop, R&B, and EDM, SEVENTEEN’s success lies in their self-producing identity: member Woozi leads much of their musical direction, while Hoshi and The8 drive performance and choreography innovation. Their discography reflects a thematic evolution from youthful energy (Adore U) to introspection (Fear) and self-awareness (Ready to Love).
From Hit The Road to Our Chapter
Seventeen: Our Chapter follows earlier documentary projects like SEVENTEEN: Hit The Road (2020), a 15-episode series chronicling their ‘Ode To You’ world tour. It was praised for its emotional honesty, capturing exhaustion, homesickness, and the bond between members during their ascent to international fame.
The group also runs a long-running variety web series, Going Seventeen, beloved for its humor and candid look into their dynamic off-stage. Combined with concert films and Blu-ray releases such as Power of Love: The Movie, SEVENTEEN has built a visual archive that parallels their musical one.
Why Our Chapter Matters
As SEVENTEEN enters its second decade, Our Chapter arrives as both a time capsule and a statement of longevity in a fast-moving industry. Few K-pop acts maintain cohesion and creative control across ten years — and even fewer do so while retaining all original members.
With its global distribution through Disney+, Seventeen: Our Chapter will introduce new audiences to the artistry and teamwork that define one of K-pop’s most consistent groups, while offering long-time fans a deeply personal reflection on a decade that redefined what “self-produced idols” could achieve.
