SEVENTEEN's Jeonghan was dressed in a chicken suit during a performance of the K-Pop boy band's song Check In recently. Fans realized this was a follow up to last year's CARATLAND performance by SEVENTEEN's Seungkwan who, dressed as an Octopus.
Jeonghan's performance in the chicken suit as he sang Check In also left many fans in splits, especially since audiences noticed that his energy was the highest when he was in the chicken suit.
Why was SEVENTEEN member Jeonghan in a chicken suit?
In 2020, when SEVENTEEN held a fan meet called CARATLAND, member Seungkwan was seen in an Octopus suit. It entertained the fans to no end, and later, it was revealed that the band decided to do this gimmick as a pun of the song that they had performed called Moonwalker. This is because the title of the song is quite similar to how Octopus is said in Korean, which is mooneukeo.
Similarly, at this year's fan meeting, Jeonghan decided to take over from fellow members and appear in a chicken suit as Check In sounds quite similar to chicken. It is quite hilarious to see the members sing 'Check In' as Jeonghan tries to make some moves in his chicken suit.
