SEVENTEEN has released a special performance video of "God of Music" that was specially produced for the UNESCO Youth Forum. After delivering a speech at the 13th UNESCO Youth Forum held in Paris, France on November 15th (Korean time), SEVENTEEN surprised fans by releasing the special performance video on site. The video was also posted on SEVENTEEN's official channel on the 16th. Member Seungkwan, who was the first speaker, mentioned his hometown Jeju Island, a UNESCO-designated World Natural Heritage site, saying, "A little boy who dreamed of the future on an island designated as a world natural heritage by UNESCO is standing here at the UNESCO headquarters today." After that, a special video featuring Jeju Island as the backdrop was released, receiving cheers and applause from the audience. CARATs (SEVENTEEN's fans) from all over the world who watched the video left positive comments, such as "SEVENTEEN's blessings continue," "It's amazing that SEVENTEEN delivered a speech at UNESCO and created such a wonderful video," and "The video has high quality. It's a performance of 'God of Music' in beautiful Jeju, designated as a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site. It made my heart full and overwhelmed." This special video was produced against the backdrop of Jeju Island, which has been designated as a UNESCO World Natural Heritage site. SEVENTEEN performed a lively and energetic performance with about 350 dancers, creating a lively and touching atmosphere. The bright smiles of SEVENTEEN members and the giant flower sculptures reminiscent of festivals combined with Jeju's natural scenery to create a refreshing atmosphere. Everyone appearing in the video is wearing a stadium jumper with SEVENTEEN and UNESCO logos, embodying the spirit of solidarity emphasized in the UNESCO speech. Pledis Entertainment, SEVENTEEN's agency, stated, "All 350 dancers appearing in the video wished for the successful solidarity of the young people on site and filmed in windy conditions, coming together with one heart in a joyful atmosphere." The excitement of SEVENTEEN's impressive speech at the UNESCO Youth Forum continues. After the speech and performance, SEVENTEEN, Mingyu, UNESCO, "God of Music," and others became top search terms on X (formerly Twitter) in real-time trends in France and Korea, and also gained significant attention in the worldwide category, ranking 5th with "#SVT_totheworld_UNESCO" and 12th with "SEVENTEEN UNESCO YOUTH FORUM."
