SEVENTEEN’s Wonwoo and Mingyu have been chosen as the main characters for the 26th installment of the Korean artist photo book series “DICON” produced by the Korean entertainment news media “Dispatch”. SEVENTEEN, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary since its debut, has made a spectacular appearance by winning the grand prize at the Golden Disc Awards for the second consecutive year in January of this year, following the two grand prizes they won at the 2024 MAMA AWARDS in November 2024. The anniversary year began with a record.
Wonwoo and Mingyu, who appear in this work, are a close friend of SEVENTEEN who are affectionately known as “Meenie.” “DICON VOLUME N°26” fully delves into the charm of the two through beautiful visual cuts and detailed interviews.

■What is the K-POP god photo book series “DICON photo book”?
A photo book series of top K-POP artists produced by the Korean entertainment news media “Dispatch.” Many famous artists have appeared so far, such as BTS, SEVENTEEN, and TWICE, and it has become extremely popular as a “divine photo book” that includes premium newly taken photos that bring out the artists’ charms to the maximum, and high-quality luxury benefits. I’m proud.
SEVENTEEN’s Wonwoo and Mingyu are the 26th installment of the DICON series. The title of this work, which was shot based on two concepts, is “White Midnight.” The first theme is “dogs and cats” themselves. You can spend time with the puppies on the bed and see the contrast between a cat (Wonwoo) and a puppy (Mingyu). The second theme is “black suit.” Just by standing in front of the flames in the darkness, you can see the two of them exhibiting an overwhelming presence.
And in the popular unit version, you can enjoy photos of them watching TV together on the couch, riding in a mini car, playing games, etc. as if you were watching the two of them in their dormitory.
There are 5 types of covers for this work. Wonwoo’s solo photobook (A/B type with different covers), Mingyu’s solo photobook (A/B types with different covers), and Wonwoo and Mingyu’s unit photobook (unit type). The unit version consists of a photo of the unit + a photo of Wonwoo + a photo of Mingyu. It comes with 5 different benefits depending on the type.
The photo book also includes interviews with Wonwoo and Mingyu, as well as letters they wrote to each other, including their thoughts on SEVENTEEN’s 10th anniversary since their debut, words they would like to convey to CARAT, and new goals.
