S.Coups Stuns on SPUR Magazine’s Latest Cover

S.Coups

S.Coups, the overall leader of the globally acclaimed K-pop group SEVENTEEN, recently graced the cover of SPUR Magazine’s June 2024 issue. This marks his first solo appearance on the cover of a Japanese magazine. This milestone comes after he went on a six-month hiatus following an ACL injury. 

During that time, S.Coups was unable to participate in any activities, including photoshoots. So, when he entered the venue of the SPUR Magazine photoshoot, the air was thick with anticipation. Everyone present couldn’t wait to see what S.Coups would do once he got in front of the camera.

S.Coups stood ready

On the day of the shoot, as S.Coups stood ready in front of the camera, the studio was bathed in warm sunlight, an auspicious start to his comeback. Sure enough, when he started striking poses for the photographer, he impressed the whole team with his charisma.

S.Coups donned four different looks for the photoshoot. On the cover, he wears a relaxed silhouette jacket by Dries Van Noten. It lent him an air of gravitas befitting the leader of a 13-member K-pop group, yet it also made him look gentle. Of all the outfits he wore that day, S.Coups said his favorite was a khaki coat and necktie from Fendi, citing it as a perfect example of the “old money look”—a current trend in Korea he’s keen to explore personally.

The feature also delves into S.Coups as an individual. In a revealing two-page interview, he discusses his role as a leader, the dynamics within SEVENTEEN, and his thoughts on the group’s future, offering fans a deeper insight into his personal and professional life. To coincide with the June issue’s release, SPUR Magazine announced a special campaign that includes signed photos. They also released a behind-the-scenes video and outtakes from the photoshoot.

His newfound hobby

In other news, OSEN reported on the 20th that S.Coups will be featured on ENA Channel Fifteen Night’s Real Fan Zone. His episode will be broadcast on the 29th. S.Coups recently participated in a recording as a devoted fan of the Samsung Lions, a baseball team based in his hometown.

S.Coups has taken a recent interest in baseball, sharing his newfound hobby with fans on Weverse. He posted, “I think I found a hobby…maybe I’ll become a baseball fan,” adding, “I guess Samsung is right for me? They are on a winning streak,” and expressing his desire to watch a game.

CARATs are curious about his upcoming appearance on Real Fan Zone. It’s known for its portrayal of passionate baseball fans and includes celebrities like Cha Tae-hyun and Jo Se-ho, who brings a neutral perspective as the show’s MC. – K-Pop News Writer

Amidst the excitement for the release of SEVENTEEN’s upcoming 11th mini-album SEVENTEENTH HEAVEN, concern sparked among the group’s fandom following a health update about injured leader S.coups. 

On Thursday, October 19, PLEDIS Entertainment announced that S.coups won’t be participating in the promotional activities for SEVENTEENTH HEAVEN given his health condition. 

In August, the rapper sustained a tear in his left anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) while filming for a show. Back then, the agency shared that the idol was immediately taken to the hospital for a comprehensive medical examination. 

S.coups’ current condition

According to PLEDIS Entertainment, S.Coups underwent anterior cruciate ligament and anterolateral ligament reconstruction surgery. 

Although it’s been two months since the successful surgery, the road to recovery remains a long and challenging one for S.coups. 

In their recent update, the label assured fans that the idol has been prioritizing his recovery and rehabilitation, undergoing the necessary treatments and physical therapy. 

However, PLEDIS Entertainment disclosed that the artist’s knee is still in a vulnerable state. Moreover, the SEVENTEEN member was also advised to avoid any physical taxing activities to ensure a full recovery. 

While S.coups had a strong desire to participate in the group’s activities, the agency decided to not let him go given his condition. 

Additionally, they asked for the fans’ understanding given that the decision was made in consultation with medical professionals. 

CARATs will wait for SEVENTEEN’s leader

Following the news, fans have taken to social media to express their love and understanding for the rapper’s situation. 

Meanwhile, S.coups also personally penned a message for CARATs on Weverse.

“I wanted to participate in activities as much as I could, but I’ll take a break for a while to focus on rehabilitation,” he told them. Furthermore, he also assured fans that he’ll focus on his recovery so he can show a healthier version of him as soon as possible. 

Since his injury, S.coups had been on hiatus and even missed the group’s Follow concert in Japan. 

As for SEVENTEENTH HEAVEN, it will be released on October 23 with “God of Music” as the title track.

S.coups Flies to Japan to Support Seventeen’s Concert Despite Being Injured

SEVENTEEN leader S.coups, or Choi Seungcheol in real life, has once declared how his group members meant a lot to him. And he once again proved his dedication and devotion for SEVENTEEN in a recent incident that deeply moved the group’s fans. 

On Monday, September 4, S.coups posted on the group’s Weverse platform that he missed SEVENTEEN. Member Hoshi suggested that the eldest member should visit them, to which S.coups replied that he’s coming.  

 

During the exchange, the rest of the SEVENTEEN members were already in Japan for the group’s two-day FOLLOW concert at the Tokyo Dome. However, S.coups is currently on hiatus due to his ACL injury. 

It can be recalled that PLEDIS Entertainment announced in early August that S.coups had an accident while filming. Although his surgery was successful, his recovery is supposed to take a while. Which is why the agency has announced that he won’t be able to participate in SEVENTEEN’s upcoming activities. 

Given his situations, fans were ready to not see S.coups for an extended period of time as he needs to focus on getting better. But it appeared that the group leader had other plans. 

Surprise from S.coups!

Most of the fans thought that the exchange between S.coups and Hoshi was just their usual banter. Which is why many were astounded when the rapper followed through with his words. 

Dressed in a white shirt, half-denim pants, red beanie, and a black mask, S.coups was seen in a wheelchair at the airport. Additionally, the photos and videos showed the leader’s left leg still encased in a cast. 

On social media, fans were quick to applaud the idol for his loyalty to SEVENTEEN. Many fans praised him for his dedication and commitment in showing support for the group event though it was evident that he was in physical discomfort. 

 

Another thing that endeared CARATs was how the group members weren’t even aware of S.coups decision to go to Japan. A comment from Hoshi on Weverse showed the dancer telling the group leader that he should’ve rested more instead. 

 

And as another proof of SEVENTEEN’s bond with each other, S.coups was also present during the first day of the group’s concert on Wednesday, September 6. 

During the concert, he was even asked by the members to do the group’s usual introduction. “Successful fan,” S.coups wrote about the experience. 

 

Currently, SEVENTEEN is having their Japan dome tour for their FOLLOW concert. It saw the return of Seungkwan, who’s been on hiatus since July. 

Additionally, the group is set to return with their 11th mini-album in October. Final details about that specific comeback have yet to be announced as of writing.
