THE KDROP: A KPop Podcast by Maddie and Elle

January 19, 2025 The Best of GOING SEVENTEEN

YEAH YEAH GOING — GOING!!

….

Today we’re here to talk about our favorite TV show of all time: GOING SEVENTEEN! (It’s not even a real TV show, and it’s still our favorite TV show of all time.)

….

Going Seventeen is SEVENTEEN’s variety show that has been airing (basically) every Wednesday for the last 6 years or so. The cast is the 13 members of SEVENTEEN, and the plot is…. the most random stuff you can ever imagine. Haunted houses, fake talk-shows, eating rice, video games in santa suits, MAFIA…. if you know how fun Going Seventeen is, you know why we HAVE TO record a podcast episode on it.

…

Maddie and Elle are here to rank their Top 10 Going Seventeen episodes, hand out some SUPERlatives (or, 손오공-latives LOL), and recommend other variety show content you might love.
