At the company's signature 11.11 Super Show on November 10, SEVENTEEN will take the main stage to perform their hit songs like “Left & Right” and “Ready to Love."

The 13-member K-pop group also stars in the brand's latest 11.11 short film, which transports them into a dynamic and fantastical realm filled with larger-than-life everyday objects and exclusive 11.11 rewards as they playfully danced along to a special rendition of global hit song “Low” by Flo Rida.
