[Special Album '[Semicolon]' Press Conference]
This has been SEVENTEEN.
SEVENTEEN! Thank you!
I did well, didn't I?
You did.
I was so nervous, but
I practiced a lot since yesterday.
You were great.
How was it, Mingyu?
Um...you mean today?
I think it was good.
The message that we wanted to deliver was a good one.
And the members were good at explaining, so I enjoyed listening to them.
I feel like this is not the type of music that
the audience, including CARAT, will just listen to and forget about.
If you reflect on your life and youth while listening to this,
I'm sure you'll feel the message.
I don't doubt that it will be a positive influence.
So, we think our album [Semicolon] is a great one.
We'll work hard until our last show
to give strength to our CARAT and everyone else.
Let's work hard.
Fighting!
Today, we successfully wrapped up our long-awaited '[Semicolon]' press conference.
I think we were a bit nervous but very excited at the same time.
We've always shown you the cheerful side of SEVENTEEN,
so I'm very satisfied that we were able to show today
that we are serious about our music.
I hope the messages in this album will be delivered
to CARAT and everyone else.
We miss our CARAT and we know they miss us, too.
Since we're not able to see each other in person, we hope you will like this album,
which we've worked very hard on.
If we can deliver you that energy,
we'll have successfully accomplished our goal for this album.
I hope CARAT will stay safe,
and thoroughly enjoy '[Semicolon]'.
Thank you.
[MCOUNTDOWN]
We're doing our first recording in a studio for our comeback with 'HOME;RUN'.
First recordings are always most exciting.
Since I'm doing the ending, I've been given a bigger responsibility.
I wanted to show you the perfect ending,
so I experimented and put a lot of thought into making this ending pose.
I feel good when the moves end perfectly with the music
and I think, 'Wow, that was good'.
[(Boo is exercising in the corner of a waiting room)]
They're going to think that I worked out because I'm being recorded.
I've made a habit of working out every day.
[(Sits down naturally)]
'Impossible' is just an excuse of the ones who don't put in the effort.
[(Send help) (For Boo)]
[(Sticking with the concept till the end)] It's nothing difficult.
It's easy-peasy.
We made our first comeback on MCOUNTDOWN.
We made an intro like we did for 'Left & Right'.
We also added a special intro in the part before the bridge and after the second chorus
which we have a special choreography for.
So it's been fun to perform.
But there's something I'm a little sad about.
We did three intros in total.
And I liked the third one best.
But apparently, they're going to use the second one. I'm a little sad about that.
I guess they can't cut the videos because it's a one-take.
I realized that I should work harder.
[(Dino is a little sad)]
I did that dandandan~ Remember?
Like this.
I should have done this.
I'll take a video for you, just do it quickly.
And then please get him out.
- I can't let go of it~ - He really regrets it.
It happens sometimes.
You did it for the last one, but they're not using it, so yeah.
But great job.
Let's stop this here, Dino.
You did a great job.
Stop it now.
Seriously stop.
Please stop.
This is evidence that I worked hard.
This is how much I sweated from dancing.
We, and many other people, have worked hard for the recording,
so I hope that what we have made
will make you happy.
It's cold, so please wear warm clothes.
Don't catch a cold.
Have a great time with our 'HOME;RUN'.

[#The return of '3 Men's TMI', recorded by Dino himself]
[(The most appeared guest, DK)] Hello.
Personally, I really like your hair this time.
I think CARAT will love it, too.
They do like it.
I gave it a go despite risking damage to my hair.
It does suit you a lot.
Thank you so much.
Now, Mingyu.
What are you going to dream about?
About CARAT.
About CARAT~ Alright.
Jeonghan!
I'm shy because I'm bare-faced right now.
You look good on the screen though.
The color of your outfit today is a bit...
My pants tore...
Look...
I guess it's because you danced with passion for the pre-recording.
Yeah.
What should I do?
Wait a sec.
SeungKwan, what are you doing?
[So much happens in SEVENTEEN's waiting room]
Hold me tight.
I can't! I really can't!
Let me try it once.
This is already scary.
Wait, I think my thighs are cramping.
There's no way I can do this.
You just fall automatically when you reach about here.
His head reached the farthest though.
[#Noisy_Immersive TEEN successfully ended the second recording as well!]
[INKIGAYO]
We're here to pre-record at INKIGAYO.
We'll work hard again today
to show CARAT a great performance.
Shall we check out what the other members are doing?
One, two, three, ya!
How's my hair extension?
Does it suit me?
[(Dressing up)]
Play with this here.
Play with this?
[(Practicing)]
Let's get this live performance, Hoshi.
The biggest challenge for me this time is the live performance.
I was worried because the notes are high, but I'm doing well.
[(Taking a selfie)] Isn't the selfie too focused on yourself?
[(Taking a selfie focused on Dino)] Oh, sorry.
If your face is taking up this much space, where should I be?
Sorry~
[(Experimenting for the ending pose)]
No, how can I~
Just do something like that~ You're good at it.
You think so?
What do I do~
I'm too shy...
[Where's the glove that you bought with DK in LA?] We played catch ball while shooting for HOMERUN's MV.
So we're making good use of the glove DK bought.
Making good use of what?
Your glove.
That's right, we still use it.
Making good use of it.
We played catch ball every time we went on a tour. We still do.
We still do.
[(Wonwoo's song request: 'I Believe')]
Stop changing the lyrics.
[(Continues)]
What's this?
You guys know songs really well.
I really don't.
[(Jun sings in Chinese)]
[(The hip-hop team loves ballads)]
[Done recording the last show of the first week!] We're done~
Great job~
High-five! Baam!
The highlight of today's INKIGAYO is DK.
He totally shook it all up.
I broke the floor earlier.
Sorry, director.
[The choreography for 'HOMERUN' is the most challenging one till date. What's the hardest part?] The bridge.
It looks really easy,
but it's hard because it's on repeat.
What did the other members say?
You know the part where DK and Wonwoo dance while Vernon does a solo?
We do this at the side.
It's hardest to get to this point.
I can't pick the hardest part.
It's so hard from the beginning.
I start by lifting DK and S.COUPS.
So I start with dislocated shoulders.
For us, from that part in the beginning.
We don't have legs from the start.
Mingyu, how did you pose for the ending?
Mingyu gets so shy.
You're good at stuffs like this.
Mingyu gets really shy.
Mingyu, how can you still get shy?
You don't even have to ask. There's various endings for INKIGAYO.
[(Mingyu is embarrassed because of the ending fairy Mingyu)]
Wow, you look cool, Kim Mingyu!
Ah, we did great.
[What happened to Hoshi's comeback interview?] What do you mean. You know what happened.
[(Confident)] I made a mistake.
We all makes mistakes sometimes!
I'll be in charge of giving him Korean lessons.
We successfully finished the last show of the first week.
I'm thinking hard about what to wear
and how to perform next week.
So please stay tuned for next week.
Thank you.
