🔥Seungkwan, 2025 vs 2026

5BeaAm2026.10.09 04:11👁 3813💬 25♥ 70

Last year Seungkwan did a tiny hop in the press photo so he'd look a bit taller next to Kim Yeonkoung.

This year, same show, same photo wall, and he fully committed.

Same 점프 (jump) energy, way more airtime. Someone in the comments pointed out she's 193cm, so by that math he can basically clear 2 meters now. My favorite reaction called him the "ascending-dol", and another person admitted they couldn't even tell he was jumping in the first photo. 진짜 대박 (seriously amazing). Me in 2025 vs 2026 is the same height with darker under-eye circles, so I'm choosing to be inspired by a man who gets taller one press conference at a time.

vocab: 키높이 (ki-nopi) is the word for anything that adds height, like 키높이 깔창, height insoles. so this is 키높이, no insoles needed

6hanbyeol2026.10.09

for context, Kim Yeonkoung is a volleyball legend here. standing next to her flat-footed would honestly be the weird choice

5BeaOP2026.10.09

he is!! look at the shoes, there's a tiny gap. 2025 was the beta version

6Olu2026.10.09

I did not know she's a volleyball legend, thank you. Now the jump feels less like height cheating and more like a respectful bow upward

6Omar2026.10.09

next year's caption is a nurse's report and a very tall physio

7Minjae2026.10.09

Boo Seungkwan doing cardio at a press conference is the most SEVENTEEN thing I've seen all week

5Lucia2026.10.09

'he's still growing' I'm crying, protect this man

4Kyungmin2026.10.09

is he jumping in the first one too?? I genuinely can't tell

5Freja2026.10.09

devil's advocate: next year he has to go even higher or it's a downgrade. the bar is literally going up

Seungkwan raising the bar, vocally and vertically

next year it's just a blur in the photo and we all pretend we saw the jump

193cm is a huge reference point. anyone standing flat next to her loses the height argument, so the jump is just the sensible play

6ramyunatmidnight2026.10.09

not convinced the 2026 one is a bigger jump. could just be better timing, catch anyone mid-air at the right frame and it's athletics

5okthen2026.10.09

could be timing, sure. but the face says he committed. fair

↳
6Minh2026.10.09

timing is part of it, but a goalkeeper saving a penalty is also 'just timing' and we still give him the credit

6meh_espresso2026.10.09

193cm volleyball legend next to a man with a beta-version shoe gap. As a nurse I'd flag the ankles.

3Saga2026.10.09

wait, same wall, same spot? did he plan the jump or did it just happen

7Minjae2026.10.09

Seungkwan getting taller by commitment alone is so him. he has never done anything halfway, including a press photo

6Mateo2026.10.09

the photographer is the unsung one here. catching a jump at the top of the frame is a timing job on both sides of the lens

6probably_napping2026.10.09

me jumping for a photo is just my knees filing a complaint. respect to a man whose joints still say yes

it's a hop with a better publicist

3Thiago2026.10.09

2025 was the demo, 2026 is the album

5tteok_and_roll2026.10.09

not convinced the jump is bigger, but rising is rising. the 2026 version just proofed for longer

7Gaeun2026.10.10

honestly with a 193cm volleyball legend next to you the jump is the outfit. no stylist can fix that, he handled it himself
