SEVENTEEN’s Season’s Greetings Faces Backlash For Surprisingly Low Quality
With the year coming to a close, SEVENTEEN dropped content for the 2025 Season’s Greetings.
The concept seemed to be about each member’s “day-off,” giving off a more relaxing atmospshere.
However, after the teaser video was released, fans had mixed reactions regarding the quality.
In particular, they were disappointed at the background for some of the members.
In Dokyeom‘s background, there seemed to be plastic chairs…
…while Wonwoo‘s background had nothing but some plastic.
For Vernon‘s background, he had a fake grocery store display drawing.
The OP felt that the quality was disappointing compared to the 45,000 KRW ($~32.25 USD) fans had to pay.
Korean netizens agreed that even if they were busy, they should have still put in more effort.
- “Even if they couldn’t film outside because they were busy, they should still have put in some effort. This lacks genuine sincerity.”
- “Here’s to being cost-effective…”
- “This is annoying even if you aren’t going to buy it. This shows that they aren’t investing in the group…and we know HYBE invests less in senior groups…”
- “I’m not lying when I say that a super small company idol group has filmed in places like that…”
- “These are just screenshots from the video, right?”
- “Wow, total lack of sincerity…they made a lot of money…what’s up with this PLEDIS.”
- “This is too much…regardless of buying it or not, we’re free to state our opinions. Why are they trying to keep our mouths shut.”
- “It looks like it was filmed like that because it’s a ‘day-off’ concept…but still it lacks sincerity.”
- “This is frustrating even if we are boycotting.”
