If you’ve been following the Seventeen guys for a while, you know that "relaxed" isn't exactly in their vocabulary. Even when they're supposed to be on vacation, they turn everything into a high-stakes competition. NANA bnb Seventeen Ep 3 just proved that whether they are in a fancy Italian villa or a cozy bed and breakfast setting, the chaos is the point.
Honestly, the shift from the original NANA Tour to this NANA bnb format felt a little different at first. But by the time we hit the third episode, it’s clear: the magic isn’t just about the scenery in Italy. It’s about how these thirteen guys (well, twelve on-screen for most of the physical stuff while S.Coups manages from the sidelines) interact when they're essentially just "living" together.
The Kitchen Chaos: Mingyu and Seungkwan’s Domestic Duo
One of the most talked-about moments in NANA bnb Seventeen Ep 3 happened in the kitchen. If you’ve ever tried to cook for a group of thirteen, you know it’s a nightmare. Now imagine doing that with Seventeen.
Seungkwan, bless his heart, was trying to help Mingyu prep ingredients. He accidentally snipped off the white parts of the green onions—basically the part that holds all the flavor—and you could see the brief moment of "oh no" on his face. In most reality shows, this would be the "drama" moment.
But Mingyu? He’s a pro.
He didn't get mad. He didn't even sigh. He just quietly picked up the white parts, rinsed them off, and kept going. It’s those small, unscripted moments that make NANA bnb feel more authentic than your average variety show. It showed a nurturing side of their friendship that fans rarely get to see during a high-energy concert.

- The Shrimp Incident: Seungkwan also struggled with prepping shrimp, which felt like a hilarious throwback to their older One Fine Day episodes.
- The Age Dynamic: You could really see the "older brother" energy from Mingyu here, even though they're only a year apart.
- Teamwork: Despite the mishaps, they actually managed to feed everyone without burning the house down.
That Charades Game Was Pure Gold
We have to talk about the charades. Specifically, we have to talk about Jun.
Jun is often the "quiet" member in large group settings, but when he’s on, he is on. During the game in NANA bnb Seventeen Ep 3, he had to act out "Zara." I don't know how you act out a fast-fashion brand, but Jun did it with such precision that it left everyone stunned.
Except for Mingyu.
Poor Mingyu completely blanked. You could see the gears turning in his head, but nothing was coming out. It’s the classic Seventeen "brain fog" that happens when they're under pressure. Meanwhile, S.Coups and Hoshi—who usually struggle with these types of games—were surprisingly good. Hoshi’s ability to use his whole body to express a word is a carry-over from his performance leader skills, clearly.
Why this game hit different
Usually, in Going Seventeen, the games are edited to be fast-paced and snappy. In the NANA bnb version (especially the full Weverse VOD), we see the long pauses. We see the frustration. We see Dino acting his heart out while his teammates just stare at him with blank expressions. It’s painfully relatable for anyone who has ever played a party game with friends who just don’t "get" it.

The Difference Between the TV Version and the Weverse VOD
If you only watched the 60-minute cut on Prime Video or TVN, you're basically eating the appetizer and skipping the steak. The Weverse version of NANA bnb Seventeen Ep 3 is nearly two and a half hours long.
Why does that matter?
Because the "healing" aspect of the show lives in the quiet parts. The TV edit focuses on the jokes and the games. The full VOD shows the members just sitting around, talking about their lives, and cleaning up after dinner. It’s the "bnb" part of the title.
There was a specific moment where Wonwoo was just chilling, and the members were randomly hugging and cuddling on the couch. It wasn't for a "mission." It wasn't for "points." It was just them. For a group that has been together for over a decade, that kind of genuine affection is what keeps the fandom so loyal.
Key Takeaways from the Episode

- The Morning Routine: Seeing who wakes up first (and who refuses to move) is always a highlight of these travel shows.
- S.Coups’ Participation: Even with his injury recovery during filming, his presence as the "referee" and commentator added a layer of leadership that was missing in the earlier NANA Tour episodes.
What Most People Get Wrong About NANA bnb
Some fans were worried that NANA bnb would just be a watered-down version of In the SOOP. It’s not. While In the SOOP is almost entirely self-directed, NANA bnb has the "Guide Na" (Na PD) touch.
There is still a production team throwing curveballs at them. The balance between "letting them rest" and "making them work for their food" is what makes this series special. It’s less of a meditation and more of a family reunion where your weird uncle (Na PD) keeps making you play games for grocery money.
How to watch it properly
To get the full experience of NANA bnb Seventeen Ep 3, you really need to go through the Weverse VOD. The "On-Air" versions are great for a quick laugh, but you miss the nuance of their conversations.
Also, keep an eye on the background. Half the fun of Seventeen variety content is watching what the members in the back of the shot are doing. Usually, it's DK making a weird face or Vernon looking like he’s in a completely different dimension.
Moving Forward: What’s Next?
As the series progresses, the "missions" are only going to get more ridiculous. We’ve already seen them tackle cooking and basic games, but the previews for the next few episodes suggest they’ll be heading out more and interacting with the locals (or at least attempting to with their "Seventeen-level" English and Italian).
If you’ve finished episode 3, your next step is to look for the "Director’s Cut" clips often posted on the Fullmoon YouTube channel. They often include 5-10 minute segments that didn't even make it into the 150-minute Weverse version. It's also worth re-watching the kitchen scene just to appreciate the sheer volume of food Mingyu can prep in a single sitting.
