SEVENTEEN is set to make history as the first K-pop group to perform on the Disney holiday special stage in the United States. The group will showcase their talents on The Wonderful World of Disney: Holiday Spectacular. The show, a long-running favorite, will air on December 1st on ABC.
SEVENTEEN will deliver a festive performance of the holiday classic “Santa Claus Is Coming to Town.” This marks a significant moment, as they share the stage with iconic global artists, including Elton John, John Legend, and Pentatonix.
A Star-Studded Disney Tradition
The Disney holiday special is now in its ninth year. Over the years, it has featured top-tier artists such as Mariah Carey, Andrea Bocelli, Kelly Clarkson, and Idina Menzel. SEVENTEEN’s inclusion highlights their growing global recognition.
The event will be hosted by Julianne Hough and Alfonso Ribeiro, known for their roles on the hit ABC show Dancing with the Stars. SEVENTEEN’s performance will bring a fresh wave of excitement, blending K-pop’s energy with the program’s festive spirit.
Building Their Legacy
SEVENTEEN’s invitation to this prestigious event comes after their successful North American tour, SEVENTEEN ‘Right Here’ World Tour. The group performed 10 shows across five U.S. cities. Their Los Angeles stop stood out with SEVENTEEN THE CITY, a unique event that merged their performances with local attractions, leaving a lasting impression on fans and the city alike.
Their influence continues to expand. Later this month, SEVENTEEN will release their fourth Japanese single, Shohikigen. Following the release, they will embark on a highly anticipated dome tour in Japan. The tour kicks off in Nagoya on November 29th and will cover major venues like Tokyo Dome, Kyocera Dome Osaka, and Fukuoka PayPay Dome throughout December.
A Milestone for K-Pop
SEVENTEEN’s participation in The Wonderful World of Disney is more than just a performance. It’s a moment that underscores the global impact of K-pop. By standing alongside celebrated artists, SEVENTEEN continues to break barriers and introduce K-pop to new audiences.
Fans worldwide can tune in on December 1st to witness this historic performance and celebrate the season with SEVENTEEN’s charm and talent.
