VIDEOS: Immensely popular K-pop group shoots music video in Budapest
The Hungarian fans of one of today’s most popular K-pop (Korean pop) groups Seventeen are sure to have heard in the past month that the members were in Budapest, the Hungarian capital. They were not here for a show though and they did not announce their stay at first. So what exactly brought these 13 young men to this charming Central European city?
As we reported two weeks ago, Jungkook, a member of K-pop group BTS, was in Budapest along with several dancers. Now, all the members of Seventeen, a group debuted in 2015, resided in Budapest for quite a while. They had been here since well before Jungkook even arrived, since at least the middle of September.

So far, it was unknown what the group was doing in Budapest. Pénzcentrum now shared the news: Seventeen, an immensely popular Korean pop group with a huge fan base in Hungary, filmed one of their new music videos here, which accompanies one of the songs from their new mini-album released on 23 October.
The boys have also shared a lot of videos on social media from their stay in Budapest. For example, on their official TikTok channel, where they have a succession of music and dance performances recorded in public spaces in the capital city.
In an interview with TeenVogue, the group members emphasised how happy they were to have the opportunity to film in Budapest. They also talked about how the whole process was a lot of fun.
