'Going Seventeen', special episode 'Thief' released at Culture Depot... Jung Han returns after 2 years

Seventeen showcased a large-scale ″Thief″ special set in the Culture Depot in Mapo-gu, Seoul, in its original content series ″Going Seventeen.″ Released on the official YouTube channel on the 11th, ″EP. 166 Thief #1″ featured the members competing for the title of ″best thief″ with a plot centered on stealing a prized stone owned by the master thief. The special included a storage room designed like an actual operation space, a CCTV control room, the master thief’s office, and guard posts, with security guards stationed throughout to enhance the immersion of the infiltration drama. The members split into four teams to carry out a joint mission to claim the prized stone, but unexpected variables arose, such as Dokyeom and Dino getting flustered by the guards’ sudden actions while trying to take control of the guard post and CCTV control room, and Vernon moving alone after separating from the group. Seungkwan nearly had his identity exposed when he encountered patrolling guards on site. A tense chase ensued between the guards and the members, with the members trying to follow their plan while the guards continuously created new obstacles. Notably, Jeonghan, who rejoined ″Going Seventeen″ after about two years, led the strategy meetings and quickly grasped the flow of the game. Jeonghan, along with THE 8, directly entered the master thief’s office where the storage room key was hidden, becoming the center of the operation. Toward the end of the video, an alarm signaling an intruder sounded, and the two were shown running away from the guards. Meanwhile, ″Going Seventeen″ continues to expand its genre this year through various specials such as ″Don Lie,″ which combines mafia and treasure hunting. By blending physical comedy, brain games, psychological warfare, and chases, it maintains the unique style of its original content. This ″Thief″ special was completed as a world-building variety show unique to ″Going Seventeen,″ combining a vast space, intricate settings, and the members’ entertainment skills.
