Billboard and the members of SEVENTEEN — S.Coups, Jeonghan, Joshua, Jun, Hoshi, Wonwoo, Woozi, The8, Mingyu, DK, Seungkwan, Vernon and Dino — take fans the behind the scenes of their latest music video for new song “MAESTRO.”
SEVENTEEN:We are SEVENTEEN!
Vernon:We are here on the set of our brand new music video for “MAESTRO.”
Joshua:Are you ready to set off for this exclusive behind-the-scenes look?
SEVENTEEN:Let’s go!
Dongyeon Kang:Hi, Billboard, we are the music video director of SEVENTEEN’s “MAESTRO” music video.
Mingyu:When you think of the word “maestro,” it sounds classic with elements associated with conducting, but SEVENTEEN’s “MAESTRO” is a bit more futuristic.
Vernon:This video is set in a world where everything can be created with A.I., including music, and this technology threatens SEVENTEEN, but in the end, we embrace the technology and become one.
Jihoon Jeon:I feel like we’re living in an era where creation is becoming easier and easier due to the advancement of technology. We wondered what the role of an artist would be in this era, and wanted to portray SEVENTEEN as artists who are conducting the art of creation in this music video.
Kim Hyodahm:What I like most is the dystopian look in the first verse, which involved items like black hoodies and balaclavas, because this is a new style that SEVENTEEN hasn’t tried often before.
Joshua:I was actually conducting the skateboarders that were riding on a halfpipe, and what was really funny was that the halfpipes, they’re colored as pianos, so I felt like I was really conducting.

In the first episode of ‘Billboard Unfiltered,’ Billboard staffers Damien Scott, Carl Lamarre and Trevor Anderson discuss the Drake and Kendrick Lamar feud that has taken the hip-hop world by storm, J. Cole’s exit from the drama, Tommy Richman’s debut on the Hot 100 and more!
Carl Lamarre:Hey, hey! What’s going on, guys? Welcome to a fresh episode of ‘Billboard Unfiltered.’ Guys, we have a jam-packed episode as we’re gonna dive into arguably one of the greatest hip-hop battles we have seen of all time. Drake vs. Kendrick Lamar. Guys, I mean, I have not seen anything like this.
Damien Scott:It’s definitely the busiest battle ever.
Trevor Anderson:Yeah, just the drop, drop, drop, drop, drop, drop, drop, drop…
Carl Lamarre:I mean, they got us working overtime.
Damien Scott:Drake called it. He said drop, drop, drop, drop. That’s what n—as did.
Carl Lamarre:I’m curious to get your takeaways from the battle. I mean, obviously, we have not seen anything like this. Seven disses in a week, double digits in a month.
Damien Scott:That’s crazy.
Carl Lamarre:What are some of your biggest takeaways from this battle? I’ll start with you, Dame.
Damien Scott:My biggest takeaway is that these are two of our best hitmakers working today. I think people already knew Drake was a hitmaker. He’s our genre’s premiere hitmaker. I think people underestimated how good of a hitmaker Kendrick was just because Kendrick doesn’t drop that often. And when he does drop, you never know what you’re going to get with Kendrick. He can be going in a different, more personal direction, where he’s not really focused on the charts, or he can make an album like ‘DAMN.’ where it’s much more accessible. I think this shows that these two guys, I would say, are the best we got.Watch the full video above!
