Soundtrack

The soundtrack of Going Seventeen includes the show's opening and ending theme songs which are both composed by Seventeen band members Woozi, Jeonghan, Hoshi, DK and Seungkwan. Both are performed by the entire band and debuted on 17 June 2019 in the eighth episode of Going Seventeen 2019.

The production of the opening theme song (and its corresponding title sequence for the season) and the ending theme song were documented and featured in the sixth and seventh episodes of Going Seventeen 2019. In Episode 6: "Making the Going Seventeen Opening Song" (aired 20 May 2019), it was revealed that Woozi pre-produced four instrumentals and let his co-composers choose which among them will be fitting to be the opening and ending theme music. The composers then wrote the lyrics and recorded demo versions of the songs, with Woozi handling the production. Later, the entire band unanimously approved the songs and discussed the production of the songs' final versions and the filming of the show's title sequence. The behind-the-scenes of the recording of the songs and the filming of the title sequence are featured in Episode 7: "Making the Going Seventeen Opening Video" (aired 3 June 2019).

Accolades

Going Seventeen has been praised for being content that can be enjoyed by anyone regardless of generation, nationality, and fandom.[2] It breaks the notion of 'K-pop content enjoyed only by fans' and is expanding the audience enough to build a fandom of its own.[3] The show has often been labeled 'National Web Variety Show' and even 'K-pop's Infinite Challenge' by various media outlets.[11][12]

As of January 2022, Going Seventeen surpassed 270 million cumulative views with just two seasons in 2020 and 2021, and averaged over 3.62 million and 2.44 million views per episode, respectively.[4]
