— The strong denominator of SEVENTEEN’s Dokyeom and DSquared2 Underwear. This is their secret encounter.
You returned from having fake abs in the fan meeting <SEVENTEEN IN CARATLAND>, to having real abs in our ALLURE photoshoot.
🐰 ****It wasn’t an easy experience (smiles).
There was hardly enough time before the photoshoot, so how were you able to show us these perfect abs?
🐰 ****For 10 days, I stopped eating my favourite foods. I exercised twice a day and only ate sweet potatoes and chicken breast. It was difficult since I had to rehearse for the concert at the same time, but seeing how my body changed every day motivated me to keep going. Actually, deep down in my heart, I have thought of “wanting to show my perfect body even once”, and this photoshoot was a great reason of doing so.
Is this your first time showing your abs ever since debut?
🐰 Yes. Since I usually love to eat a lot, so this was really the first time that I endeavored to maintain my body intensely. It wasn’t easy but I was proud of the results.
How do you anticipate everyone’s reactions to be like?
🐰 It’d be great to just hear people say “Oh, Dokyeom’s abs are great, aren’t they?
This year, SEVENTEEN embraced many challenges too. You were the first K-POP artist to stand on the Pyramid Stage, the main stage of Glastonbury. How did you feel before you going on stage?
🐰 It was truly an honour. Almost felt like we were the national representatives. The greatest feeling I had was hoping that I wouldn’t make too many mistakes and could present the best stage to the audience.
