Seventeen's first documentary series, ‘SEVENTEEN : HIT THE ROAD’
After their first world tour in 2017, SEVENTEEN came back with the WORLD TOUR ‘ODE TO YOU’ in two years. Kicking off in Seoul to 7 Asian regions and completing 8 North American cities, they completed a successful 6 month world tour. SEVENTEEN reveals their honest and personal stories as they take on a new path during this long journey. The same yet unique stories of the 13 members begin, NOW.
Amidst their world tour in November of last year, at the 2019 AAA Awards held in Vietnam, SEVENTEEN receive the Album of the Year award. Ever since their world tour began, Woozi does not rest a moment in checking for the performance, in their rented practice rooms, rehearsal stages, and waiting rooms. He feels a special responsibility performing as a K-POP artist. His responsibility extends to his studio in Seoul. The music he creates in this small space spreads to SEVENTEEN, the entire world, and resonates in the voices of many listeners every moment.
SEVENTEEN, with their world tour, TV appearances, magazine shoots and autograph signings, have a busy time in Japan. Back to the concert hall, the members face their first crisis. Dino suffers a fever and stomach pains, and must be absent from their show in Makuhari... The 12 members try their best to fill in for his presence. But shortly after the show begins, something unexpected happens. Wonwoo becomes dizzy and short of breath, and ends up collapsing backstage...
After a successful world tour in Seoul and 4 cities of Japan, SEVENTEEN moves to Jakarta, the next city of their Asia Tour. The members were nearing their mental and physical limits due to the series of concert schedules, but another performance begins with the cheer of their fans. The concert seemed to be going well, but in a moment’s notice a sudden turn of events follow. The leader S.Coups suddenly comes down from stage and cannot continue on with the concert, while Jeonghan was also sent back in a hurry to rest after suffering headaches… What has happened to S.COUPS?
SEVENTEEN moves on to the next city of their World Tour, Bangkok. After their arrival, they work hard to make the best stage possible with only 12 members during the rehearsal. The members say that Hoshi is crazy for the stage and he is someone they have a lot to learn from. As always, Hoshi dances until his body breaks for fans who have avidly waited. Every moment counts for him while on stage. Hoshi says that is the courtesy and love he feels for his fans. As always, he is doing his best today so that he is able to say “what time is it”.
With the start of the year, the North American tour of 8 cities began. The first day of the concert in the U.S. finally comes. From the rehearsal until the show begins, Mingyu is in the best condition of all the members. He takes care of the production crew and tries not to miss out on even the little things. After a successful start of the first U.S. show, Mingyu steps out on the streets of New York to film his ‘Snap Shoot’ MV with the members to capture the precious moment.
SEVENTEEN safely arrives in Chicago by adjusting their schedule due to an unexpected heavy snow alert, which could’ve cancelled the Chicago concert. Joshua expresses his interest in appearing on a TV channel he grew up watching. Then as January 2020 came by, Joshua achieves what he’s aspired to do since he was young, all the while meeting fans across the board. On the surface everything seemed smooth sailing, but Joshua was suffering from headaches and insomnia since the beginning of the World Tour.
Houston, the fifth city in SEVENTEEN’s North American Tour. After rehearsals, the members say that even though they’ve adjusted to jet lag, they still struggle to maintain their energy. Before the show, each member tries to save energy in their own way, but nonetheless they face exhaustion. Whenever the members are struggling, Seungkwan takes care of them with his assorted supplements. For him, taking care of the members is nothing special or new but a routine. As a member who worries and cares for other members the most, SeungKwan believes that wherever he is, the moment he shares with the 13 members is most precious.
At the concert venue in Mexico City, even just a short rehearsal leaves the members short of breath and weak. Due to the nature of this alpine region, the members take aspirin and prepare for the show. Truthfully, Dino was dissatisfied with his previous performance in Houston. He couldn’t get over the feeling that he did not put forth his 100% on stage due to his bodily condition. Even if he collapses this instant, he wanted to show his best performance for the fans who made their way to see them.
Within SEVENTEEN, Vernon is a member who knows how to keep his pace. During a show, he portions his energy well, and after a show, he sleeps, or works on self-improvement. The night after a show. Vernon practices rap making on his recording equipment he brought from Korea. He checks the lyrics and rhymes, and builds a melody to perfect the song. This is his story of constantly working to be a perfect member for the team SEVENTEEN.
Where you can see the tram pass right through the city landscape, SEVENTEEN are now in San José. The8 has a special love and philosophy when it comes to fashion. He contributed the most feedback into the team's stage outfits for the world tour, and he says fashion is his way of expressing himself within SEVENTEEN. Always working hard to show fans a new side of him, we listen to THE 8's story.
Soaked in the rain, this is the city of Seattle. Today is the last day of the North American Tour. As if their minds are synced up, the members all thank Jeonghan the most. In truth, Jeonghan has been struggling to perform the show due to his headaches from the beginning of the world tour. Jeonghan once had to come down from the stage with S.COUPS in Jakarta. And starting from Bangkok, he couldn’t join the stages with heavy choreography. Jeonghan always apologized to his members and fans but worked hard to participate the best he could during the concert. Keeping his promise to the members and fans, we hear Jeonghan’s story as he celebrates the end of the North America Tour.
Jun began his journey as a singer from an unexpected street casting. As he was a child actor in China, he always learns how to grow as a singer from his members. When communicating with fans or singing and dancing, he tries to learn from his members for self-improvement. Always putting SEVENTEEN first before himself, Jun works hard to show his best. This is his story.
The fourth region for the Asia Tour, Manila. DK has diligently taken care of himself during SEVENTEEN's World Tour, from their first concert in Seoul up to their show in Manila. When a show is over, he may take time to go through the performance and look back on himself, but now he has learned to truly enjoy his time on stage. Through this World Tour, he has grown the most, and overcome his own limits... With an incomparable amount of love for the stage and for his members, we hear DK's story.
SEVENTEEN has been through a long journey the past 6 months. Although they could not finish the rest of their tour in Asia and Europe, they are preparing once more to join hands and come out for their encore performance.
