Thanks to their talents and their hard work, at this time SEVENTEEN has become one of the most popular boy-groups. Of course, this is also inseparable from the help they get from their fans, ‘CARATS’, who always support and give their love to SEVENTEEN. SEVENTEEN’s Fandom Name In 2016, from February 5 to February 12, the group created a poll on their official website to determine their official fandom name. Fans could vote for one of the six potential names, TINKER BELL, TINVELY, WISH, SAME, WENNIE, and CARAT. Each of them have their own precious meanings to SEVENTEEN. CARAT: CARAT brightens the DIAMOND called SEVENTEEN, the bigger the gem(carat) is, the precious the value. The more time that passes means that SEVENTEEN’s worth will continue to increase~ TINKERBELL: SEVENTEEN were like PETER PAN in wonderland (and the fans are TINKERBELL). They were always together, which means SEVENTEEN and their fans were always together. TINVELY: This is a combination of SEVENTEEN and LOVELY, (we are SEVENTEEN’s lovely fans) SAME It’s been stated that fans and SEVENTEEN were the SAME, we both LOVE and TREASURE each other. WISH: SEVENTEEN and their fans will accomplish their WISH/DREAMS, which is also a meaning we want to treasure~ Wennie: W (we) E (expect) N (novelty) N (and) I (imagine) E (eternally) On February 14, 2016, SEVENTEEN held an exclusive concert, ‘LIKE SEVENTEEN – Boys Wish‘, where they revealed their official fan club name following their performances for “Rock,” “NO F.U.N” and “Mansae.” Once the performance was over, leader S.Coups said, “We have an announcement. You guys made us shine so bright. So you guys are now going to be our CARAT.” CARAT (캐럿) sounds similar to the Korean word for “Carrot”.
