SEVENTEEN became the first K-pop band to perform a Tiny Desk Concert at NPR Music’s offices in Washington D.C. The group’s Dino, Seungkwan, Joshua, Vernon and Mingyu participated in the live set.
The Tiny Desk session occurred while SEVENTEEN was in town last month for a two-show run at Capital One Arena. Backed by a live band, the five members of SEVENTEEN offered a career-spanning medley of nine songs from their extensive catalog.
“We expected a calmer and quiet vibe because it’s an actual office, but it’s literally a concert,” SEVENTEEN shared in a statement.
