Pledis Entertainment has decided to separate the Seventeen YouTube channel once again.
After Pledis Entertainment had decided to start uploading Seventeen content onto the Pledis Entertainment channel, many Seventeen fans had protested the merging of the two channels. However, it seems that Pledis Entertainment has decided to reseparate the channels.
The label said, "Hello, this is Pledis Entertainment. First of all, we would like to thank all the fans who show unchanging love and interest to Seventeen. For the past three weeks, all the employees in Pledis Entertainment under CEO Han Sung Soo talked about running and managing the Seventeen YouTube channel, which has been the interest of many fans. We have decided that all of the YouTube contents related to Seventeen will be uploaded on their own channel. This has started already with the 'You Made My Dawn' album trailer that was released at midnight on the 7th. YouTube management, as well as other management policies, is determined by the label. However, we believe that those policies are part of the process of Seventeen seeing their results after their efforts, and the fans becoming happier. From now on, we will continue to do our best to understand the fans and the artist, and bring a better result. We thank Seventeen and the fans, and ask you to show big support for Seventeen. Thank you."
Are you happy with how the situation turned out?

FYI this is just my opinion, I didn’t think merging to one channel was a bad thing. As LOVE and a Carat I thought the merge would be a good move because 1. They are all in fact artists from Pledis 2. It makes finding other artists easier (I could be searching up a song Nu’est and then see a Seventesn MV and click on it) 3. Other big companies do the same thing (example being: SMtown and Starshiptv). No one said anything or protested when Nu’est W MV was uploaded to Pledis Channel, we watched the MV as if it was from Nu’ests Channel. It was only the Carats who flipped out and acted like Pledis only cared about themselves and not Seventeen (which is not true, they do care about thier artists) and protested by boycotting and flagging the Seventeen MV. Which by the way, was still accesable through Seventeen’s channel page, so It wasn’t like you couldn’t see it when you search Seventeen. Pledis does care about thier artists, they frequently listen to what fans want, thier artists are genuinely happy and the Pledis family as a whole are very close to one another. Pledis not very good at managing thier artists which has always been thier downfall but they have gotten better (still a work I progress). They made the move to merge channels in an attempt to help ALL thier artists not to hurt Seventeen. But apparently some Carats didn’t see it that way. Whelp Guess that’s down the drain. Congrats Carats, you won :)
