“We are grateful to be recognized for our consistent effort and longstanding passion to contribute to youth worldwide. Looking back, this has been a long journey for us, taking one step at a time, until we could stand before you as the Ambassador for Youth. Ever since we made our debut, our music has talked about our own experiences and genuine emotions,” dagdag pa ng SEVENTEEN member.
