SEVENTEEN's SEUNGKWAN Returns to 'The Wonder Coach' for Second Season

The main goal of the series is to address the problem that many volleyball players in South Korea face. Many cannot play professionally despite having the skills to do so, due to a limited number of teams for them to play in. The South Korean V-League only has 1 division and only 7 teams, so those that are skilled but don't make the cut for these teams have to give up on playing professionally. 

While Kim Yeon-koung can't just magically create a second division by herself, her job in the show is to act as a coach for retired players and those that play for corporate teams to give them a new chance to play professionally. This eventually acts towards the goal of creating the eighth team in the V-League, 'Wonder Dogs'. Her work on the show were undeniably successful securing successful contacts for 4 of the players recruited in the first season.

While the players that have signed new contracts with professional teams will not be returning to Kim Yeon-koung's team this season, SEVENTEEN × About group SEVENTEEN SEVENTEEN is a self-producing boy group with 13 members, divided into the 3 main sub-units, hip-hop, vocal, and performance, to form 1 team. They are known for intricate choreography, impressive synchronisation and sophisticated song writing.

Many thought that he wouldn't be able to commit to the team due to his upcoming military enlistment on October 26, 2026, but SEUNGKWAN defies everyone's expectations and takes on more responsibilities than ever. He even surprised himself. When called  in for a meeting with the crew managing the show, he thought he would be fired from his position as manager, instead his position within the team has increased from one title to five. SEUNGKWAN is now the PR Team Leader, Brand Strategy Leader, YouTube Leader and the Manager at the same time. 

Perhaps his promotion shouldn't come as a surprise. CARATs (fans of SEVENTEEN) will know that SEUNGKWAN's volleyball obsession runs deep. His love for the sport is not only recognised by Kim Yeon-koung herself, but also the general public. Some might remember SEUNGKWAN winning the 2025 Hot Issue Award for his work on 'The Wonder Coach' at the MBC Entertainment Awards. Those that don't might instead remember the rather humorous moment of SEUNGKWAN's name being mispronounced during the award presentation.
