The chemistry between SEVENTEEN and producer Na Young-suk shone. The new tvN show "Nanatsu A with SEVENTEEN" started broadcasting in Korea on the 5th, depicting the strong encounter between SEVENTEEN, the first customer of Nanatsu A, and Na Young-suk, who serves as a guide. In particular, Na Young-suk performed a surprise pickup service, incorporating the real moments and chemistry of the members resting after the concert, and induced laughter. The viewership on this day recorded an average of 2.3% and a maximum of 2.9% in the capital area household standard, and an average of 2.1% and a maximum of 2.4% in the national household standard. The viewership of men and women aged 20-49, the target of tvN, recorded an average of 1.5% and a maximum of 2.1% in the capital area, ranking first in the same time slot including the cable comprehensive programming channel. On a national basis, it recorded an average of 1.5% and a maximum of 1.9%, and ranked first in the same time slot on all channels including terrestrial broadcasting (based on paid platforms integrating cable, IPTV, and satellite / provided by Nielsen Korea). The efforts of the production team, who moved under thorough planning for the surprise trip with SEVENTEEN, who won tickets to "Youth Over Flowers" in the "Business Full Moon - SEVENTEEN" edition, aroused interest. Na Young-suk met with the overall leader S.COUPS first and planned a fake program to deceive the members perfectly. Na Young-suk said that he chose Fukuoka instead of a direct flight to Tokyo so that SEVENTEEN's fans would not notice, and surprised people by taking 8 hours to arrive. At the moment when SEVENTEEN's pickup service started in earnest, Hoshi encountered him in the hotel corridor and faced an unexpected crisis. However, thanks to Na Young-suk's invitation to Hoshi, he succeeded in the surprise attack of Joshua, Mingyu, Seungkwan, and Dino, who were playing with high tension, and induced laughter. Furthermore, SEVENTEEN's delightful activities as a "variety idol" representing Korea also brought laughter. They came up with various content ideas while going to wake up the sleeping members, and appealed their extraordinary aura by making efforts to hold the camera longer without being told by the production team. The various reactions of the members who saw the production team immediately after waking up also attracted attention. Dogyeom showed a dazzling step while being flustered by the ceremony and camera procession of the members that unfolded immediately after waking up, and Jeonghan revealed that he had already been preparing for the trip. Woozi showed a reaction as if he had been fooled, and Wonwoo and Vernon could not hide their confusion. Jun and The8, who thought they were going on a trip on another program, were delighted to learn that they were going on a trip with the members. Even though they hurried to Italy without carrying any luggage, SEVENTEEN's appearance floating on the trip excited the viewers. Scenes of waiting for the time to show off their special skills while looking at the schedule, and satisfying their curiosity while chasing Na Young-suk during the trip to Italy, gave off a sense of intimacy like students enjoying a school trip. Furthermore, even though it was still 6 a.m. in Korea, they showed a friendly atmosphere by video calling S.COUPS, who could not come to Italy due to an injury. Although everyone was talking about what they wanted to talk about, taking a group photo with S.COUPS and showing him the Colosseum made people smile. "Nanatsu A with SEVENTEEN" will be broadcast every Friday at 8:40 p.m.
