Seventeen fans or knowledgable kpop people, please check over this for me (1 Viewer)

I'm writing kind of an easy to digest info dump about Seventeen for my cousin. He said "yo if you want, you can give me one kpop group and I'll listen to their music and see if I like them." @maruberry helped me decide on early seventeen, but I figured I'd throw a little bit of later seventeen as well since he likes stuff like Emporer's New Clothes by P!ATD and AJR

I may be a seventeen stan, but it's been a while since I took in a lot of information about them, so I may not have everything correct.

I think I was going for a group as a whole first before hitting them with the solo songs, but if my cousin likes them I'll add some solo songs.
