Boy band Seventeen will showcase its second collection of household goods personally designed by its members in a pop-up event at Shinsegae Department Store’s Gangnam branch from Tuesday through March 25.

Titled “Artist-Made Collection by Seventeen,” the project is the second in the band’s series of homeware collaborations with Shinsegae.

The first event, for which members S.Coups, Junghan, Joshua and Jun designed household goods, opened in September last year. It was the first time a K-pop artist pop-up graced "The Stage," the Gangnam store's exclusive space for temporary showcases.

Members Hoshi, Wonwoo, Woozi and The8 participated in the production and design of the items for this year’s event, according to Shinsegae on Monday.

The homeware will first be displayed at the pop-up at Shinsegae Department Store for two weeks, from Tuesday through March 25. The goods will later be made available at the Weverse shop, Hybe’s online fan community platform, from March 28.

The pop-up event will take place on the first and basement floors of the Shinsegae Department Store’s Gangnam branch. This year’s household goods designed by the four members will be sold on the store’s first floor, while official merchandise for the band will be sold on the basement floor.

Shinsegae said Hoshi, who regularly enjoys lighting incense, prepared an incense holder set and merchandise with his tiger character's “Tam tam” design.

Wonwoo, whose hobby is gaming and editing photos and videos, prepared a keyboard and a crossbody bag. Woozi drew inspiration from his studio “Universe Factory” to design a rug and tableware set created in hopes that his “fans will eat well.”

The8, known for his love of frogs, incorporated his frog character “The Palee” in slippers and sleep masks in addition to preparing a tea set.

Seventeen debuted in 2015 under Pledis Entertainment, one of HYBE's labels. It has 13 members: S.Coups, Jeonghan, Joshua, Jun, Hoshi, Wonwoo, Woozi, DK, Mingyu, The 8, Seungkwan, Vernon and Dino.

The band will hold two concerts in Incheon on March 30 and 31.
