Introduction
"Cheers" is the leader-line anthem of SEVENTEEN, performed by SVT Leaders, the trio formed by the leaders of the group's three units: S.Coups of the hip-hop team, Woozi of the vocal team and Hoshi of the performance team. The song appears on SECTOR 17, the repackaged edition of SEVENTEEN's fourth studio album Face the Sun, which was released on 18 July 2022 by Pledis Entertainment. Built like a toast raised in a crowded room, "Cheers" looks back at the group's cramped trainee days and celebrates just how far the thirteen-member group has climbed since then. On this page you will find the complete Cheers lyrics in Korean, in Roman Korean so that anyone can read and sing along, and in a full line-by-line English translation, together with the song's meaning, its complete details and the official music video.
The Song
"Cheers" is a swaggering hip-hop party track driven by a bouncy beat, heavy 808 bass and a hook built entirely around clinking glasses: "At the party, cheers." S.Coups opens the song by spitting verses over a piano, bragging that his rhythm stays freaky even without a kick or a snare, and the verses keep returning to SEVENTEEN's origin story, a basement practice room of barely two pyeong, roughly six and a half square metres, with twelve other members squeezed in beside him and barely enough money to cover the group's food bill. Against that memory, the song stacks images of the present: expressways driven at full speed, numbers multiplying like a waterfall and a white supercar whose wheels spin at 160 BPM. The doubters who once said the group would crash and fail are answered with a shrug and a raised glass: "They don't know." Woozi, who rarely takes a full rap verse, drives the second verse, while the bridge turns the track into a call-and-response chant that orders everyone, wherever they are, to follow along and put their hands up. It is less a drinking song than a victory lap, three leaders toasting the empire they built out of a basement.
The Artists
SVT Leaders is not a separate group but SEVENTEEN's leadership line, and each member leads one of the three units the group is famous for. S.Coups (Choi Seung-cheol), SEVENTEEN's overall leader and the head of the hip-hop team, delivers the opening verse with the heavy, grounded flow that anchors the group's rap line. Woozi (Lee Ji-hoon), leader of the vocal team, is also SEVENTEEN's principal songwriter and producer, and he co-wrote and co-composed "Cheers" alongside Bumzu, with S.Coups, Hoshi and Vernon also contributing to the lyrics. Hoshi (Kwon Soon-young), leader of the performance team and the group's main choreographer, brings the dancer's energy that turns the song's bridge into a crowd chant. A leaders-unit track had been a fan-favourite idea ever since the trio released "Change Up" on the 2017 album Teen, Age, and "Cheers" finally gave the three leaders a full title-worthy stage of their own on SECTOR 17.
The Music Video
The official music video for "Cheers", released through the HYBE LABELS YouTube channel, matches the song's basement-to-building story by keeping things deliberately raw. S.Coups, Woozi and Hoshi perform in front of an exposed green-screen studio set, dressed in streetwear and caps, with giant chrome balloon letters spelling out CHEERS behind them, while crew, lighting rigs and cameras stay visible in the frame instead of being hidden. The camera circles and whips around the three leaders as they trade verses, and the whole clip feels like a party thrown inside the studio rather than a polished fantasy, which is exactly the point of the song: the celebration is happening in the same kind of room where the group started. The video has passed 89 million views and the track has become a regular highlight of SEVENTEEN's concerts, where the leaders perform it as a unit stage.
The Music Label
"Cheers" was released by Pledis Entertainment, the agency that has managed SEVENTEEN since the group's debut in 2015 and which now operates as a label under HYBE. SECTOR 17, the album the song belongs to, is the repackaged edition of Face the Sun and added the new tracks "Cheers", "_World" in its leader-line and full-group forms, and it went on to become one of the best-selling albums of 2022 worldwide. As with most SEVENTEEN releases, the song was produced largely in-house by Woozi and Bumzu, the group's longtime production team, which is a large part of why the group's story of self-made success rings true in the lyrics.

Cheers Lyrics Meaning in English
On the surface, "Cheers" is a party song, all clinking glasses and raised hands, but every toast in it is really about the journey. The basement room of two pyeong is a real detail from SEVENTEEN's history: thirteen trainees from a then-small agency crammed into a tiny practice room, at times genuinely unsure how the group would cover its food bill. The song flips those memories into trophies. The same boys who counted mouths to feed now rap about waterfalls of multiplying numbers, expressways with no toll gates slowing them down and a supercar spinning its wheels at the speed of the beat itself.
The repeated line "They don't know" is aimed at everyone who predicted the group would crash and fail, and the leaders answer those doubts not with anger but with a glass raised in the air. There is also humility inside the bragging: even the singers admit they do not know how high SEVENTEEN will climb. "Cheers" is therefore both a celebration and a promise, one glass raised to the basement they came from, and another to whatever comes next.
