In January 2013, Pledis Entertainment announced that the boys that appeared in the first episode were not the final members of the group but were instead all trainees still. The final members of the group will be selected based off fan responses towards each member. Originally starting with 17 trainees, after 5 running seasons of 17TV, members were left due to their own personal reason, leaving the 13 fixed members. Plans for sub-units in 3 different countries is unknown for now. The group still continue to keep their name as Seventeen explaining that the reason behind their name meant that there are 13 members, 3 units but they are still 1 team, making them 17.
