SEVENTEEN has once again proven their unwavering global popularity.

On the morning of September 16th, the music video for "HOT," the title track from their 4th full-length album, Face the Sun, surpassed 200 million views on YouTube. This is the third time a SEVENTEEN music video has reached this milestone, following "Don't Wanna Cry" and "Super."

Released in 2022, "HOT" is a hip-hop track with a distinctive Western guitar sound. The song expresses SEVENTEEN's journey of courageously moving forward on their own path as they face the sun. The track topped major domestic music charts upon its release and has since been streamed over 271.94 million times on Spotify, the world's largest music streaming platform.

The music video, with its concept of "Shoot the Sun," also made a name for itself by reaching 100 million views in just seven and a half months, setting a new personal record for the group at the time. With this latest achievement, SEVENTEEN now boasts eight music videos with over 100 million views, including "Maestro," "Clap," "Very Nice," "Left & Right," and "Rock with you."

Meanwhile, SEVENTEEN kicked off their world tour, "NEW_," in Incheon on September 13th and 14th. Despite the absence of some members due to military service, they showcased their enduring skills and performance prowess. The tour is scheduled to visit the massive Kai Tak Stadium in Hong Kong on September 27th-28th, followed by five cities in North America in October, and four major dome venues in Japan from November to December.
