Does every Carat still miss the Sebongs (Seventeen) after their unforgettable Bulacan leg of the Seventeen Right Here world tour? We know exactly how it feels. We’ve been there too! The lights, fan chants, and the unbreakable bond that only concerts can create are truly once-in-a-lifetime experiences for every fan.

Seventeen has an irresistible charm that hits the right spot in our hearts. Whether it’s their reality show, Going Seventeen, or behind-the-scenes clips from their music videos, each member’s genuine and carefree personality never fails to entertain. We love seeing their authentic selves every time we watch them!

As we continue to support our favorite K-pop boy group, let’s take a moment to reflect on their journey. From simple teenage boys to the ultimate hot idols, their transformation over the years is nothing short of remarkable. Check out all the details of their glow up evolution below!


MINGYU

Did anyone expect a blonde Mingyu in 2025? No one! it’s no wonder he’s the group’s visual, he always keeps us surprised with his looks. From a skinny teenage boy to a sculpted, muscular man, Mingyu knows what suits his body well. What Carats adore most about him is his captivating smile. Even with a touch of veneers on his front teeth, he kept his signature smile as one of his best assets.

WONWOO

Did you know? Wonwoo once mentioned that he was a heartthrob during middle school. We couldn’t agree more! His sharp features have remained consistent over the years. Though his physique has matured into that of a grown man, his alluring cat-like eyes and piercing gaze remain just as captivating.

JEONGHAN

Back then Jeonghan stole everyone’s hearts with his iconic long hair—how could a man be this gorgeous? While his signature look often involves long locks, his short-haired moments on red carpets and during concerts highlighted his manly features. Truly a unique beauty to admire on our screens!

S.COUPS

During his teenage years, S.Coups often styled his hair down, accentuating his baby face and making his round, lively eyes stand out. These days, his baby fat has given way to a sharp, muscular physique. His stories on Weverse about frequent gym sessions reassure fans that he’s healthier than ever.

DK’s playful personality might overshadow his striking visuals, but in candids or serious mode (which we rarely see) he also got the face card that never declines. In the past, he rarely dyed his hair, now we’ve seen him rock blonde, red, and chestnut shades—all of which suit him perfectly!

Joshua’s sweet personality paired with his simple yet endearing looks is a fan favorite. His youthful appearance, once defined by his slim frame, has matured gracefully as he reaches his 30s. His nose is sharper, and his jawline is more defined, still the essence of youth remains on his face and flawless complexion.

HOSHI

We all say “Horanghae!” thanks to Hoshi’s iconic line that Carats chant even outside the stadium. As a teenager, Hoshi’s rounded features reflected his natural Korean genes. Today, his smile has become even more captivating, complementing his infectious charm.

WOOZI

Has Woozi even changed at all? His cute face and radiant skin remain flawless! He’s transitioned from an adorable boy to a man with a toned physique. While he used to dye his hair often, these days, he opts for healthier, bouncy strands that suit him just as well.

Xu Minghao, one of Seventeen’s lead dancers, has grown into the kind of man you’d see in romance films. While he used to experiment with bold hair colors—like his unforgettable red hair during the “HOT” era—his current signature mullet hairstyle always complements his Chinese features.

It’s hard to put Jun’s angelic features into words, but if we tried, it would take all day! He looks almost the same as he did in his younger days. His skin might be lighter now, but his nose, eyes, and smile remain unchanged. It’s as if he’s defying the passage of time!

Seventeen’s maknae is now all grown up. Once the adorable youngest member cherished by all, Dino has undergone a striking transformation. With his gym videos flaunting his physique, he captivated Carats worldwide showcasing impressive growth into a confident, energetic man.

VERNON

Vernon, the cute little boy from New York, despite not having posts on Instagram right now, left his digital footprints everywhere. If you’ve seen them, you’d understand his geeky charm back then! Now 26, Vernon still carries his Western features, paired with flawless porcelain skin.

During Seventeen’s debut, Seungkwan was the baby-faced member with adorable chubby cheeks. Over the years, his cheeks have slimmed down, a clear sign of his dedication to an active lifestyle. What hasn’t changed, however, is his incredible talent—he still nails the high notes, especially in their iconic “Aju Nice,” bringing every concert to an electrifying close.
