The group Seventeen(S.Coups, Jeonghan, Joshua, Jun, Hoshi, Wonwoo, Woozi, The8, Mingyu, DK, Seungkwan, Vernon, Dino)presented raw fun with a fake documentary.

On the 21st at 10PM, SEVENTEEN released the full episode of ‘Comeback Special SEVENTEEN TV’ as part of the ‘Going SEVENTEEN’ series on the team’s official YouTube channel.This fake documentary-style content, which was created with the premise that the members have been living in a dorm for 10 years, induces laughter with the vivid acting that captures the ‘real’ sides of the members.

The video begins with SEVENTEEN looking confused at the news that the team name will be changed to ‘Eighteen’ and that the members will be changed as well.Opinions are mixed, such as “Let’s follow the company’s will”, “Let’s recruit a new maknae”, and “We won’t change anything”, creating a tense atmosphere.There are also ‘laughter landmines’ scattered throughout, such as Hoshi pushing forward with the new name ‘Black SEVENTEEN’ despite the dissuasion of those around him, and Joshua recommending producer Bumzu, who has been with him for a long time, as the new member.

In particular, Jun’s reason for strongly opposing the team reorganization is hilarious.He is embarrassed by the suggestion to change the team name, saying that he has a tattoo with “Seventeen.” The team members who see this in the bathroom say, “Wow,” and “Awesome,” and their pupils shake in shock.At the end of the video, the famous “gray towel” episode between Seungkwan and Dokyeom is reenacted.Dokyeom’s performance of throwing a towel at Seungkwan, who is irritating him, raises curiosity about the future development.

The daily scenes that reflect their real personalities stand out, such as Seungkwan singing and getting excited after hearing the news of the team reorganization, the youngest Dino taking charge of ordering delivery food, and Woozi quietly watching the situation.The space that perfectly resembles their debut dorm also provides a little fun.

Meanwhile, SEVENTEEN is building up comeback fever by releasing various contents ahead of the release of their 5th full album ‘HAPPY BURSTDAY’ on the 26th.The second part of the ‘Going SEVENTEEN’ comeback special will be released on the 28th, and ‘Nana Inn with SEVENTEEN’ featuring PD Na Young-seok will meet global fans through Weverse, tvN, and Disney+ starting on the 2nd of next month.
