From producing their songs to making the choreography, K-pop boy group SEVENTEEN is known for being a self-producing act.

And they proved how capable they are once again by releasing a second edition of their self-produced magazine. 

The GOING magazine is an idea initially pitched by member Mingyu in their variety web series GOING SEVENTEEN. He shared that he’d like to create a magazine by conducting their own photoshoot. 

 

During the shoot, each SEVENTEEN member had their respective roles such as fashion stylists, hair stylists, assistants, interviewer, and more.

Meanwhile, Mingyu was in charge of taking the members’ photograph, with Wonwoo taking behind-the-scenes videos. 

As seen in the GOING SEVENTEEN episodes, Mingyu also took the lead in processing the photos and finalizing the layout for the magazine. 

 

Looking back at the experience, the rapper said that it was a time he “could experience the hard work and pain that editors go through firsthand.” 

“It wasn’t easy but I’m proud to have created a photo book with all 13 of us together,” Mingyu shared. 

Wonwoo added: “It was meaningful work that all of SEVENTEEN worked hard to create it.”
