Idol group Seventeen (S.Coups, Jeonghan, Joshua, Jun, Hoshi, Wonwoo, Woozi, The8, Mingyu, Dokyeom, Seungkwan, Vernon, Dino)'s own content 'Going Seventeen' ended this season warmly with a school special.

On the 11th, SEVENTEEN posted 'EP.123 SEVONG Elementary School #2' of 'GOING SEVENTEEN' on their team YouTube channel. This broadcast was designed with the concept of the members who transferred to Sebong Elementary School becoming friends for a day and enjoying various activities.

SEVENTEEN enjoyed various games such as the 'Vampire Game' where they had to find vampires by shaking hands, 'Wall Dodgeball' where they had to close their eyes and throw balls to find out who was eliminated, and 'Raccoon Game' where they had to play tag while shouting "Raccoon!" The members' outrageous strategies to avoid elimination, physical gags during the game, and various wordplay based on the game's slogan constantly made everyone laugh.

'Going Seventeen', which kicked off the 2024 season with the 'Going Ranger' special last May, presented diverse episodes this year. In addition to popular series such as 'TTT (MT SEVENTEEN REALITY)' and 'Incontinence Zero', they have also tried new things such as high-quality discussion content and zombie specials, and have been loved by K-pop fans around the world, beyond CARAT (fandom name).

This was proven by the high number of views and topicality. The 'Grrrrruk Kak Kak TTT' episode, which contained SEVENTEEN's cheerful and peaceful travel story, quickly achieved 5 million views for both parts 1 and 2. Many episodes, such as 'BOSS' and 'Front Talk', which dealt with the members' brain battle, and 'Insomnia Zero III', were ranked on YouTube's 'Top Rising Videos'.

Previous season episodes have also steadily increased in views, maintaining their popularity. 'Hide and Seek #1', which was released in 2020, was the first 'Going Seventeen' episode to surpass 20 million views. In addition, 'Christmas in August #1', 'SVT Playground #1', 'Falling for TTT #2', 'Incontinence Ⅱ #1', 'Seventeen Side Out', 'Vernon's Rice Planting and Betting Everything #1', 'Hide and Seek #2', 'Let's Go Seventeen #1', and 'A Thousand Palms #1' also surpassed 10 million views, proving the reputation of 'Going Seventeen', which is called the 'Infinite Challenge of K-pop'.

'Going Seventeen' will return with a new season after a sufficient break.
