SEVENTEEN's SEUNGKWAN and his dog, Bookkeu, star in a heartwarming new cover shoot.
PLEDIS Entertainment confirmed the idol fronts the November issue of ELLE Korea as part of the magazine’s 33rd-anniversary "Hello, Little Love" project, celebrating the simple, everyday joy of living alongside animals.
The cover captures tender moments between SEUNGKWAN and Bookkeu, pairing his sleek, polished aura with his pup’s adorable gaze. Set against the serene backdrop of a traditional hanok, the photos highlight their easy, intimate bond.
In the accompanying interview, SEUNGKWAN opened up about the lessons he learns from his four-legged friend. "Sometimes people need time and space after a disagreement, but with animals, there isn’t that kind of distance," he said. "From little ones like Bookkeu, I’ve learned to keep my heart gentle. I want to take that in, be fully present in my happiness, and show even more love."
Meanwhile, SEVENTEEN are nearing the finale of their SEVENTEEN WORLD TOUR [NEW_] IN U.S. After packed shows in Tacoma, Los Angeles, and Austin, the group hits Sunrise on Oct. 26?27 and Washington, D.C., on Oct. 29?30 (local time). The trek continues in November and December with dates across Japan’s four major domes.
