A friend of mine has spent the last month getting me into the K-pop group SEVENTEEN, because my MDL watchlist wasn't already enough of a mess of partially watched shows without starting to stan a group that has seven years of variety show content to catch up on, lol. Not to mention all the music videos, choreography videos, concerts, solo projects...
My friend was laughing at me a little bit for going pretty much from "Seventeen... that's a K-pop group, right?" to getting grumpy about bad Western camera angles in their
recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel in less than a month, but I'm still very far from an expert and have probably only listened to about... a third? of their songs. Give or take a bit. I've been focusing the most on songs with accompanying choreography videos or dance practices, since I'm a sucker for dance and Seventeen not only has an outstanding performance line, but also has no real dance holes despite the group's large size and a lot of very fun, creative choreography, much of which is done by Hoshi, the leader of the performance line, in collaboration with the other members.
Anyway, despite being extremely late to this party, I thought I'd throw some links out into the ether in case anyone else might be interested. At the very least, it might be fun to come back in a year or two to see if/how my tastes have evolved after I've done more catching up on the aforementioned
seven years of content. 😅
