SEVENTEEN: THE THEATER KIDS OF KPOP

[ a thread by a theater major ]

Aside from being self-producing idols, they are also dubbed as the "theater kids of kpop" and being a theater kid myself it totally makes sense, but there might be others who don't understand that's why I am making this compilation.

@pledis_17 #SEVENTEEN

please don't expect a lot from this thread HAHAHA this is just me geeking over svt my theater kids

It's gonna be a continuous compilation and I'll keep adding as I find content of performances, production, acting games, and just theater kid moments

How to spot theater kids: they're usually noisest, most energetic, and most chaotic bunch in a group of people just like this

How to spot theater kids: they just randomly burst out in song anywhere and everywhere (in this case it's inside a vehicle)

In theater, the purpose of this game is to top the energy and emotion of the previous player and overpower them.

Seeing them play this explains why whenever they perform on stage, the energy of whoever is in the center tops the previous one @pledis_17

THE HONGSAM GAME

It's a normal svt thing to play games all the time but this is actually a high level game of concentration when it comes to acting. You need quick thinking, fast reflexes & imitation to stay in the game

@pledis_17

Just............ whatever this is........... I think it's pretty self-explanatory.

@pledis_17 #SEVENTEEN

This mansae performance they did in the dressing room was so theatrical. Their performance space wasn't limited to a stage but they made use of the whole area and made a fun & interesting storytelling for mansae

Bringing back this legendary Diamond Edge opening number with colorful prince outfits, parade floats, scooters, swings, and

jazz hands

Concert director: how do you want to enter during your opening number?

Svt: yes

This part in My My where they all formed and moved as waves with Seungkwan floating with the 218 boat through the svt ocean

@pledis_17 #SEVENTEEN

#세븐틴

This campfire part in My My where S.coups is the fire in middle while the members around are playing the 007 bang game (we play this game in acting classes all the time)

@pledis_17 #SEVENTEEN

Let me just take a moment to talk about mafia dance Vernon.

1. His acting skills
2. His concentration level
3. His sensitivity and ability to feel out the other members that's why he could dance along even though another song is playing for him

Professionalism at it's finest. Jeonghan's sleeve got caught in one of the hangers and DK managed to smoothly unlatch it from Jeonghan's sleeves. Great presence of mind & fast relfexes

@pledis_17 #SEVENTEEN

The stage was wet because of the rain but these kids chose to make use of it and have fun

@pledis_17 #SEVENTEEN

#세븐틴

This one from their radio guesting earlier

@pledis_17 #세븐틴

#SEVENTEEN

The8 designing and painting his own set design

we love a self-producing theater kid

@pledis_17 #SEVENTEEN

#세븐틴

Can I geek out abt this? This is a theater exercise on levels and sensitivity with your co-performers and making sure that attention will be directed towards what needs attention through leveling. It's just I'm so amazed seeing them incorporate this

GoSe Bad Clue

Now this is high quality detective mystery role playing that wrecked all our brains. This is still part of the theater kids agenda because it is still considered as drama

@pledis_17 #SEVENTEEN

#세븐틴

In GoSe Bad Clue, they didn't get a script but they were all assigned chatacters that had specific roles and missions they had to complete in the story. Those missions will further progress the story the production team has written.

( + I was reading and thought of gose)

The boys did such a good job staying true to their characters and progressing the plot of the mystery. They would lose concentration and break character every now and then (which was the cutest thing

) but they were so dedicated to their roles.
@pledis_17

Mingyu really scared me on this episode. He really has good concentration and he can really pull off different roles.

@pledis_17 #SEVENTEEN

#세븐틴

This legendary scene with Mingyu and Minghao was the most intense moment of GoSe Bad Clue. They were so immersed in their characters and their given situation that's why this was the reaction they gave one another. I still get goosebumps when I see this

We all love our adorable seoksoon. They may be unpredictable most of the time and always goof around, but hey look at their acting skills

@pledis_17 #SEVENTEEN

#세븐틴

Never forget this wonwoo and his impromptu bad boy acting

(Also the way the members are all supportive and hyping him up is peak theater kid energy, jeez pls he's trying to concentrate

)

@pledis_17 #SEVENTEEN

#세븐틴

96 line dynamics when they randomly just start being dramatic as wonwoo is singing a heart-wrenching ballad and jihoon........... yeah jihoon

(We love a vocalist wonwoo)
@pledis_17 #SEVENTEEN

#세븐틴

Aside from being amazing performers they also pretty much like doing production stuff. Here we see Mingyu as the camera director and Seungkwan taking over the lights console.

@pledis_17 #세븐틴

How to spot theater kids: they always travel in groups. Do not separate them.

@pledis_17 #SEVENTEEN

#세븐틴

How can we ever forget about Mafia hoshi in Don't lie?? They play mafia too much but we don't recognize that's it's actually a really good acting game. I mean you need to convice others you're innocent while eliminating them one by one? A challenge
