SEVENTEEN’s Seungkwan Graces ELLE Korea’s November Issue with His Dog Bookkeu: ‘Learning Love from Little Beings’

SEVENTEEN’s Seungkwan graces the cover of ELLE Korea’s November issue with his dog Bookkeu as part of the magazine’s 33rd-anniversary project, “Hello, Little Love.” The campaign highlights the beauty of everyday life shared with pets through warm, emotional portraits.

In the released pictorial, Seungkwan and Bookkeu share an affectionate moment on the wooden floor of a traditional hanok. His refined aura and Bookkeu’s playful gaze create a heart-warming contrast—'as if they’ve long been an inseparable part of each other’s lives,' local media described.

In his interview, Seungkwan reflected on what his pet has taught him: “Sometimes people need time to mend, but with animals, there’s no distance like that. From little beings like Bookkeu, I’ve learned to have a more beautiful heart.” He added with a smile that he hopes to become someone who expresses love more openly.

More of Seungkwan and Bookkeu’s photos and interviews are featured in ELLE Korea’s November issue and on the official Instagram account @ellekorea, where fans flooded the comments with praise such as, “They’re too adorable!” and “You can feel Seungkwan’s gentle love.”

Meanwhile, SEVENTEEN continue their ‘SEVENTEEN WORLD TOUR [NEW_] IN U.S.’, performing in Los Angeles and Austin before heading to Sunrise and Washington, D.C., and later moving on to Japan’s four major domes in November.
