It turns out that Emma Myers, best known for her role as Enid Sinclair in the hit series “Wednesday,” is a Carat at heart. Carat is the official fandom name for the K-pop boy group Seventeen.
The actress revealed that she’s a huge fan of Seventeen in an interview with American TV host Jimmy Fallon, released on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon’s YouTube channel yesterday, Jan. 5.
“I was 15 [when I first became a fan of Seventeen], so about five years ago,” she said. “There’s 13 people in Seventeen… so yeah, it’s a whole thing.”
Myers opened up about her love for the group, as she explained the reason behind Seventeen’s name despite having 13 members. “There’s 13 of them, and there are three different groups. You have hip-hop, performance and vocals. And then there’s one team. So 13, plus three, plus one is 17,” she said.
It can be recalled that Seventeen is composed of the Hip-Hop Team (S.Coups, Wonwoo, Mingyu, Vernon); Performance Team (Jun, Hoshi, The8, Dino) and Vocal Team (Jeonghan, Joshua, Woozi, DK, Seungkwan).

The “Wednesday” star also revealed that her favorite Seventeen song is “To You,” which is included in the group’s ninth mini album “Attacca.”
“I kind of think everybody would like this song called ‘To you.’ It’s really fun, it’s upbeat, and it’s got a great story behind it,” she said.
Myers is known to be open about her love for Seventeen and K-pop on numerous occasions. In a November 2022 interview with American publication Teen Vogue, she said that she became a fan of the boy group after discovering a meme involving their 2016 hit song “Very Nice.”
The actress shared in the report that her bias, or favorite member, in Seventeen is Jeonghan, the group’s lead vocalist and visual. She also shared that she attended the group’s Atlanta leg of the “Be the Sun” world tour in August 2022. Myers likewise revealed that she’s a fan of K-pop girl group Le Sserafim, whose hit song “Antifragile” she had on repeat.
Seventeen was formed by Korean music label Pledis Entertainment and debuted as a 13-member unit in May 2015. The group is best known for their hit songs “Hot,” “Rock with You,” “Left & Right” and “_World,” among others. They held the Philippine leg of their “Be the Sun” world tour at the Philippine Arena in December 2022 and earlier at the Mall of Asia Arena in October 2022.
Myers started her acting career in 2010, portraying Paige Slayton in the crime series “The Glades.” Her breakout character Enid Sinclair in “Wednesday” is described as the werewolf roommate of Wednesday Addams (Jenna Ortega). /ra
