SEVENTEEN, the thirteen-member powerhouse from Pledis Entertainment, is known for their energetic performances, catchy music, and undeniable comedic timing. Their variety show, "Going SEVENTEEN," consistently delivers side-splitting entertainment, pushing the boundaries of what a group variety show can be.
Their latest episode, aptly titled "[GOING SEVENTEEN SPECIAL] 기타 등등 : 용용 죽겠지 (ETC : Tease Your Heart Out)," takes a slightly different approach. It's a collection of "ideas that weren't fit for a full official episode," according to the description. However, what it lacks in length, it makes up for in pure, chaotic fun.
The episode revolves around a single game: "Alkkagi" (meaning "focus" or "concentrate" in Korean). The members are tasked with completing various challenges while being bombarded with distractions from their fellow members. These distractions range from silly sound effects to impromptu dance breaks, all designed to break their concentration and send the game into hilarious disarray.
The beauty of "ETC: Tease Your Heart Out" lies in its simplicity. The low-stakes format allows the members' personalities to shine through. Their playful banter, competitive spirit, and genuine affection for each other create a heartwarming and endlessly entertaining dynamic.
While there's no complex narrative or elaborate set design, the creative team behind "Going SEVENTEEN" uses clever editing and sound effects to keep the energy high. Quick cuts between members, close-ups on their increasingly frustrated expressions, and the constant barrage of distractions create a sense of delightful mayhem.
One particularly funny segment involves Mingyu attempting to build a tower out of blocks while DK narrates a dramatic love story, complete with sound effects and exaggerated emotions. Mingyu's growing frustration as the tower keeps collapsing due to DK's theatrics is pure comedic gold.
Another highlight is the "Alkkagi Dance Challenge." The members are instructed to follow a simple dance routine while being subjected to surprise dance breaks initiated by their fellow members. The resulting chaos is a testament to both their comedic timing and their surprising ability to maintain some semblance of coordination amidst the madness.
"ETC: Tease Your Heart Out" may not be a groundbreaking episode of "Going SEVENTEEN," but it serves as a delightful reminder of what makes the show so special. It's a celebration of camaraderie, creativity, and the ability to find humor in the simplest things. The episode is a perfect entry point for new fans, showcasing the group's undeniable chemistry and talent for unscripted entertainment.
For existing CARATs (SEVENTEEN's fandom name), "ETC" is a welcome serving of chaotic fun, offering a glimpse into the group's off-screen antics and solidifying their reputation as self-proclaimed "variety kings." So, if you're looking for a good laugh and a dose of SEVENTEEN's signature charm, "ETC: Tease Your Heart Out" is definitely worth checking out.
