How K-pop boy group Seventeen have used the coronavirus lockdown to get creative and reach fans on Weverse
Seventeen’s official Weverse fan community opened on March 17 and the members have since been active on the app, despite calls from some fans to just let them continue using their online Fancafe. It didn’t take long for fans – who called themselves “Carats” – to sign up to talk with their fellow followers and the group themselves. Nevertheless, things got unsurprisingly chaotic as the band members themselves learned how to use the platform.

Seventeen loves hanging out in Woozi’s studio
While quarantine is up and running, the members have taken a liking to hanging out in lead vocalist Woozi’s studio. However, Woozi has posted a series of photos that show the aftermath of his bandmates’ visits. His Bearbrick toys have been moved around and plastic cup covers have been left near furniture. Members were quick to deny that they were the culprits and pointed fingers at each other when Woozi found out.
The group loves clowning each other daily
Seventeen are known to tease each other a lot, whether on variety shows or in live streams. After Woozi’s studio mess discovery, rapper Wonwoo immediately posted a subtle hint about who was messing with his beloved Bearbricks.
Team leader S.Coups also told Woozi that he hit his head on the ceiling lamp in the studio, and Jeonghan had Hoshi teach him the iconic pose that he did for his Elle shoot.
