Kpop sensation Seventeen is not just premiering its latest music video Love, Money, Fame (feat. DJ Khaled) and its album Spill The Feels today (Oct 14) but also launching a new promotion featuring an Airbnb home in Seoul, South Korea.
The Airbnb collaboration is part of the group's immersive promotional campaign for the album called "Seventeen's Street", which allows fans from all over the world to experience the album drop first-hand. The campaign will run from Oct 16 to 25 and includes other events and activities like a pop-up in Gangnam, Seoul.
The Airbnb home is said to replicate the set used in Love, Money, Fame, complete with an antique leather sofa and a velvet throw in the living room, a retro vinyl player and an ink-and-quill writing set.
In the bedroom, you can find a cassette player and a double bed with plush pillows, and an accent wall on the side.
“It’s a privilege to partner with Airbnb to bring guests behind the scenes of our musical world,” said S. Coups, Seventeen's leader, in a press release. “This immersive stay offers us a new opportunity to connect with the world,” he continued.
The home can host up to four guests a night. There are seven one-night stays available for guests to bid; stays will take place between Oct 25 and 31. It costs about KRW17,000 (about RM55) – excluding taxes and other fees – a night to stay in this exclusive home. Of course, all transportation to and from the house is to be borne by the guest or guests themselves.
Some of the "perks" that guests will enjoy include a personalised welcome video and note from Seventeen, a customised key card, a welcome kit that features exclusive towels, mugs and slippers, limited edition bath amenities, as well as some snacks prepared by Seventeen members!

Lyla Seo, Airbnb country manager for Korea said: "We are thrilled to partner with Seventeen, one of K-pop’s most iconic groups, to create a truly unique stay in the heart of Seoul’s creative community.
