K-POP: Seventeen💎 Backstory Video- THANK YOU BENNETT⚡️🌹

For anyone unaware, Suga of BTS hosted a talk show before military service and he had Woozi on as a guest https://youtu.be/xHCjuxn2H9s?si=Ic1h4z-GSnpRWGvB

Alright Tim: you happened to post these right at the start of my very busy day, so I am now rewatching both videos so that I can answer your questions! (Please I hope you read them ;-;) 7:35 - You didn't ask a question here, but I wanted to add that at their last concert, Seventeen just announced that all 13 of them will be renewing their contracts a second time. This is a HUGE deal, and does not happen with many groups, especially without losing a single member. 7:57 - You've asked this a while back, so I'll try to explain better here. Show Champion is not a "competition" in the way that you're used to, but a music program. South Korea has 6 WEEKLY music programs that host performances and have different charting/voting systems, and someone wins every single episode. Which may be hard to wrap your head around, so consider it like this: imagine if in the US, we televised a show with an award for #1 on the iTunes chart every week, and had another show on a different day that did an award for #1 on the Spotify chart every week, and so on. K-pop is such a massive part of South Korea that they are running shows like this 5 days a week. That's also why it's generally easy to see SO many different "live stages" of a song after it comes out; the artist is making their way around to each show. So these are NOT competitions like Kingdom/Queendom. 11:07 - No, I do not go out dancing at all, lol. 11:29 - The reason I say "It is UJI (OO-JI)" is because his name is Jihoon. His nickname was "uri Jihoon" (meaning 'our Jihoon') and it got shortened to UJI, and then romanized as Woozi. 14:23 - Also not a question, but referring to your idea of using the IPA: I mentioned previously that while you don't need to learn Korean, learning to read Hangul is exceptionally helpful for names. You would probably love learning it as the characters are shaped in relation to where in your mouth the sound is coming from! It was made to be easy to read/speak. 15:15 - I would have posted it publicly, but the first 4.5 minutes (as noted on screen at the beginning) is from someone else's very good, but very very long, intro to Seventeen, and I didn't want to publicly reuse their work without permission. Otherwise, I'm completely fine with sharing anything; that's why my ATEEZ intro is public! 16:48 - Woozi (along with their slightly older labelmate Bumzu, who was/is a solo artist & is with him in the studio during that clip) is responsible for most production. He also does the majority of the writing, but S.Coups and Vernon have generally been helping with that from the beginning, as well. I'm positive that 10 years in, everyone in the group has at least some writing and/or production credits. 18:14 - Yes, 'performance' refers to dance; clearly, they're all great dancers, but when you get a chance to see any Performance Unit song, you'll understand the difference. Not to sound super Gen Z, but they have this...aura...idk how to explain it, Tim. 20:57 - Yes, 6 to 15 times...but not the full song! Just the chorus, which is the part you're hearing over and over here, lol. I gave you your own introductory Never-Ending AJU NICE! And I thought I was real funny for it, haha. The video is literally 1/3 AJU NICE related, just like their concerts (half joking). 21:47 - You didn't ask a question, but yes, they are VERY silly. Almost all the time. It's one of the biggest parts of their charm as a group to us CARATs. 22:51 - Do I know the Time Warp?! Tim, being a theater kid is an almost mandatory precursor to being a K-pop fan. I've love musicals for more than 20 years. Trust me, when you are done with Death Note, I will be IN THOSE COMMENTS campaigning for my two favorite shows (Next to Normal & The Great Comet), both of which would blow you away. 24:30 - Ahahaha, well now you know why I included it! I didn't want you to see it in the Killing Voice and not understand the hype at all.

Subscribed for svt hope you continue to your journey with them thankss

OMG SEVENTEEN? am I dreaming??? in my biased, totally unbiased opinion, this group has some of the best vocalist in all of kpop. PLEASE CHECK THEM OUT MORE!

wonwoo & seungkwan’s names still getting mispronounced 😩 that’s why i wrote it as “wonu”; i promise that’s how he says it, too. seung-kwan is like seung-min, if that helps!
