Kim Mingyu becomes the victim of his group's hilarious prank

The thirteen member K-pop group SEVENTEEN has always been known as chaotic, mischievous, and entertaining. Apart from their music, their high-spirited and jolly personalities as well as their close bond set them apart from other groups, something that is especially evidently clear on their own variety show GOING SEVENTEEN.

More recently, on the second day of the ongoing tour, a hilarious incident tickled the group’s fans around the globe. This incident involved all the twelve members of SEVENTEEN pranking their member Mingyu during a dance performance.

This incident occurred when the group was performing their hit song, Left And Right, and all the twelve members, except Mingyu, performed the original choreography. This came as a surprise for the latter, because during the pre-concert briefing, all the members, including MIngyu, had agreed to do the altered choreography during the last part of the dance.

However, all the members stuck to the original choreography while Mingyu was the only one who jumped during the last step, seemingly embarrassing himself in front of a huge audience.

All the members thoroughly enjoyed this prank and turned to watch the victim as soon as the song stopped to see if the prank was successful, which caused a wave of laughter among everyone who watched it.

After the performance, member Vernon told the audience that it was Jeonghan’s plan, who had created a separate group chat for this purpose a day before the concert. Hoshi added that the prank's success was a matter of concern. This was because the members had no time to discuss the plan right before the concert, as Mingyu was constantly present. But luckily, every member remembered and were glad that it went as planned.

This was not the first time that all the members had tricked Mingyu. A similar incident occurred two years ago in 2021 at the Golden Disc Awards. Fans were extremely excited to watch the prank come to life once again and couldn’t hold back their happiness. Many of them took to Twitter to react to this happy incident.
