SEVENTEEN(세븐틴) - Goodwill Ambassador for Youth Nomination Ceremony @ UNESCO 

You are truly an inspiration, Joshua. The boy who flew 5,956.34 mi away from his home to pursue his dream, struggled during trainee days, wanted to quit, lied to his mom that he was okay even when he wasn’t is now representing one of the most legendary groups, representing South Korea at UNESCO. You’ve come so far, my friend. So so proud of you 🫶 You are the epitome of “every dream can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them”. Every dream matters.

"never let anyone, including yourself, belittle your dream" needed that so much. thank u so much seventeen 🩷

"Every single dream matters whether it is big or small. Never let anyone, including yourself, belittle your dream. " - Joshua. What such comforting words ☺

JOSHUAS ENGLISH REALLY BLOWS ME AWAY ITS SO EXPENSIVE AND BEAUTIFUL AND ELEGANT

His english is justt🤌🏻😭😭😭

"never let anyone, including yourself, belittle your dream." wow i didn't know how much i needed to hear that ㅠㅠ

Joshua's accent and his voice sounds so expensive 😭💓 Jeonghan's Japanese sounded soo good! And hoshi's ment 🤭 The8 and Vernon🎀 Dk and S.coups ❣️❣️ And the rest of the members handsomely seated ❤️🤍

Seeing Seungkwan reactions while watching Joshua seems like he is more nervous than Joshua yet so Proud 😂

Boy who once wanted to quit because he could not endure the pain of being a trainee is now representing his band SEVENTEEN and SOUTH KOREA. JOSHUA HONG,you have come so far SEBONGS YOU GUYS MADE IT I AM PROUD OF YOU ALL>

Joshua.. he used to be just an ordinary teen boy from LA. But now look at him leading the speech on behalf of Seventeen at Unesco. Not to mention how great he is in delivering the messages. "Every single dream matters." You are truly an inspiration. I'm so proud of you shua🥹❤️

긴장도 많이 하고 대표로 연설해서 부담도 많이 되었을 텐데 너무 잘해줘서 기특하다ㅠㅠㅠ 늦게.. 그것도 2023년도 파이팅해야지+손오공으로 늦게 알아줘서 미안해... 평생 캐럿할게... 진짜 너무 자랑스러워ㅠㅠㅠ 대표로 연설하는 것도 모자라서 한중일영으로 따뜻한 말까지ㅠㅠㅠㅠ 이번에도 진짜 역세급이다ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

I bawled my eyes out. "Your dream is also Seventeen's dream."

Joshua has a powerful and gentle voice ❤❤

Speaking on this type of scale and platform must be nerve-wracking but Josh killed it 👏🏼🥹

Dear Joshua, you are the pride of Seventeen.♥️

세븐틴 이 자랑스러운 사람들아ㅏㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ 캐럿들한테 존재만으로도 기쁨인데 이렇게 13명이 변치 않고 10년을 성장해나가며 결국 이런 국제적인 자리에서 선한 영향력 끼치고 캐럿과 세븐틴의 이름을 전 세계에 알리는 게 너무 보기 좋아 이러니까 내가 평캐 다짐하지❤평생 셉랑합시다 캐럿뜰💎

AN ORDINARY BOY, WHO FLEW FROM LA TO KOREA TO PERSUE HIS DREAM IS NOW REPRESENTING HIS BAND AND SOUTH KOREA AT UNESCO…. YOU HAVE COME SO FAR, SO PROUD OF YOU SHUA🥹❤️ PROUD OF SEVENTEEN🩷🩵

Joshua's Speech for the forum was so good. I couldn't be prouder. I love how it covered the 13 different struggles of member and thanking carats. Morever, I absolutely love the emphasis on showing that how youth was a hard and long journey for them as an Idol and how many challanges they faced. Loved it when he told that 13 members have 13 different experiences, struggles,thoughts and uniqueness in skills which come together to make them such an amazing and perfect group. It is great to see them explaining that Youth has it's own pros and cons and everyone has seen a lot of things and had suffered/are suffering. But a great companionship and believing in our ideas/goals no matter how different they are is an important thing. Also learned that we should believe ourselves in any aspect whether positive or negative. I'm proud of them for going so far and SEVENTEEN is the best choice for UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador for Youth. I LOVE MY TEAM. I LOVE MY CREW. POWER TO YOU ALL.

전세계에 선한 영향력을 미치는 세븐틴이라 캐럿인게 자랑스럽당🩷🩵

Joshua is a gentle and powerful person❤

I'm really proud of you, Joshua.Let's build a beautiful future with SEVENTEEN and CARAT💎

우리 노룡이 영어할 때 너무 멋진거 알고 있나ㅜ 발음에 치여ㅜ 떨렸을텐데 너무 잘했어 최고야 조쉬❤️

슈아 맨날 한국말하는 뇨롱밤비왕자 모먼트만 보다가 영어하는거 보니까 왜이렇게 설레지…❤ 세븐틴을 대표해서 심지어 저런 큰 자리에서 연설한다는게 쉽지 않을텐데 오늘도 셉뽕찬다…

진짜..원본을 봤을때 자막이 없어서 힘들었는데..자막이 있으니깐 너무 좋다..이런 말을 한거였구나..ㅠㅠㅠ 감동 ㅠㅠㅠ 진짜 너네 너무 자랑스러워ㅜㅜㅜㅜ

A Thankyou letter to Seventeen:- I really can't express in words how much proud I'm of Seventeen! I can't even express my happiness of being a Carat rn. Thankyou so much Joshua for speaking on behalf of the members and letting us know the message this beautifully. Thankyou so much Svt for being with us, thankyou for cheering our youth and giving us hopes. There are often times where we end up feeling hopeless, useless and alone and the scariest feeling is being left out while accomplishing our dreams. Thankyou for considering our dreams as yours. Let's dream higher and achieve it together. And the fact your music helps me a lot, cheering myself up, Idk how to express my gratitude for that. Thankyou for making us feel pretty when we listen to Pretty You, thankyou for Adoring us, thankyou for cheering us and a limitless thankyou for making our lives bright. When I saw the live of UNESCO, I felt some different sort of pride, it felt as if it's my people being called out there. And ofcourse we are family, it's definitely my family representing all of us and helping people out. I feel brighter, I feel like having wings now. Thankyou for watering our seeds of dreams and our plants of hopes. You all deserved to be the Youth Ambassador. It never mattered how big is the fandom, what I adore is we Svt and Carats have always been peaceful. We speak different languages but we still unite. As you say, "I don't understand but I love you", no wonder it's all true. We love you and please stay healthy and happy. I'm a teen and my dreams are still left to be accomplished, I feel down sometimes, we all do... But watching Going Seventeen episodes, listening to your songs and all your weverse and lives statements, everything cheers me up. You guys give us energy, you all are our happy medicine. S Coups teach us leadership, Jeonghan teach us calmness, Joshua teach us confidence, Jun teach us boldness, Hoshi gives us energy, Wonwoo teach us care, Woozi teach us hardwork, The 8 teach us realism, Mingyu teach us to be intellectual, DK gives us extreme energy and hope, Seungkwan teach us passion, Vernon teach us uniqueness, Dino is our happy pill. What more can I ask for than this group being safe. Thankyou SVT, endless thanks to you for all your efforts. Our language may not be common, but the love is what we all have been giving to each other till date. Thankyou for holding our hand and making us assure that you're there for us. I'm genuinely so proud to call myself a Carat and I don't regret knowing you all. We Carats love you. Please be happy. Again Thankyou for all your efforts Seventeen. You make me dream higher, you make me happier.🥺❤️ Peace and Love Arshiya ~ A carat from India

우리 슈아 🤍 긴장도 많이 됐을텐데 슈아가 세븐틴 대표해서 저렇게 큰 무대에서 연설하고 있다는게 얼마나 자랑스러운지 몰라ㅠㅠ 8분동안 온전히 내 가수가 연설하고 있다는게 얼마나 큰 행복인지,, 영어 발음에 치이고 전달하고자 하는 메세지도 넘나 치이고 그냥 세븐틴이 너무 좋다 오래 가요 유네스코 🍀😍 끝으로 세븐틴도 캐럿도 오래오래 행복하게 나아가자 사랑해 💎🩷🩵

I'm so proud of you guys. We must be so lucky to be Carat. I love SEVENTEEN very much and I promise to support them forever.😭💎✨

I didn't know seventeen can make me feel like this 😢 stanning other k-pop groups was a great time but since I've met seventeen I have this feeling where I feel safe and happy whenever they are around or even when I see them , knowing that seventeen exist makes my life more easier and I'm very thankful for them for the thirteen man who makes me feel every feelings that I can feel the most is nothing but happiness a pure happiness , my dream is what seventeen's cherish I'll always think of that .

조슈아 맨날 뇨롱하면서 한국어 하는 것만 보다가 모국어인 영어로 유네스코에서 연설하는거 보니까 새로운데 너무 멋있어.....🤭🩷🩷 파리까지 가느라 고생했다 세봉이들!!

Thank you, Seventeen, for pushing CARATS to believe in ourselves to reach for our dreams. SEVENTEEN fighting!

Joshua you are the best!!! I am sooooo proud of you!!! I can’t describe in words that you are sooo great of doing this!!!

I hope in the future that SEVENTEEN will become the group that you guys always want to be！Love you Josh!!!

i'm in love with joshua accent when he's speaking english, his voice just sounds different and more deep ( imo )

I'm so proud of you Josh and also the Seventeen Boys for doing a great job in UNESCO HQ in France. I'm really happy that I stanned a good kpop boyband with a heart and compassion towards others and to CARATS too.

The most what I like this group when starting stanning them this year is how they always break the language barrier, they speak not only their own language but speak the other languages too to deliver their wanted to say in different country. I thank that I stan them this early on this 2024 so proud of them. 🩷🩵

Beyond proud of you Joshua. You are an inspiration to many, including myself. I hope to continue my own journey as bravely as you do. Congratulations to all Seventeen on becoming Goodwill ambassadors for Youth.

I hope every carat will chase their dreams without giving up. Including myself. I hope i would be able to fight my self to achieve my dreams. Don't give up.

シュア오빠のスピーチすごくグッときた素敵だった

Joshua when speaking English sounds so powerful, elegant and influential. Congrats Seventeen. . . .

8:08 ジョンハンが日本語(超絶流暢)コメント発してくれると思わなくて心が躍った。 Did not expect Jeonghan making a comment in super fluent Japanese. Thank you!

I’m so proud of you, Joshua❤

so proud of them 🥹🥹

I am really happy and touched. Joshua, I congratulate you and I would like to convey that I love the seventeen members very much❤

SEVENTEEN GOODWILL AMBASSADOR AS A CARAT I AM SO PROUD OF THEM 💎

So proud of Seventeen . The cause they're supporting is as important as others. Every dream matters🩷🩵

Charitable..Humble..Talented.. Funny to the bone..good looking Seventeen.🩷🩵

I really love his english ❤❤

너네가 너무 자랑스럽다!!!! 항상 청춘을 위로하고 노래하는 너희들 고마워ㅎㅎ 셉랑해♥

슈아야 연설하느라 많이 떨렸을텐데 너무 멋있게 잘했어❤ 세봉이들 다들 파리까지 가서 너무 수고했엉:)

His english is so! 🫶🏻

I’m so proud of you, Hong Jisoo. Well done, my love. I will always be cheering for you.

1:13 OMG he is so HANDSOME😫🫶🏻✨✨

Joshua and the members of seventeen are such amazing young men worthy of nothing but love and respect. I think they have sacrificed so much to get to where they are now. I hope that each of the members have all their dreams answered and continue to feel nothing but love from carats and fans around the world. Hope their company takes good care of them and respects each member as well.

Haha, Joshua looks kinda nervous while speaking but when it comes to singing his confidence rises.

Josh speaking English in Italics YAS 😍😎🤩

im so speechless by this , joshua you are really an inspirational 🥰😇

I’m so proud of you, Joshua ❤❤❤❤

His accent is killing me 🔥❤️

I'm so proud of Seventeen. I'm so proud of Joshua for speaking about the members, the youth and the campaign only. He did not spoke about himself only. He really have spoke about what they were there for. He didn't tell his story of growing up and dream of becoming an idol, etc. He always said the word "we". Not "I" all the time. Anyway the speach was powerful. I loved it and I'm proud of the boys. I'm so proud to be a Carat. 😊 🫰

HIS ACCENT IS SUCH A PERFECTION >>>>>>>>>>>>

Public speaking is not easy, especially when reading a text; you may think reading something prepared would help, but repeatedly glancing up at the crowd and down at the paper, lots of speakers lose their place and rhythm: Joshua did it very well. But more importantly, his tone was conversational which made it easier for the audience to listen and understand.

울 슈아오빠 넘 자랑스럽다ㅎㅎ 긴장됬을텐데 떨지 않구 넘 잘했어...! 8분동안 수고했어 우리 13명의 멤버들 다 너무 사랑하고, 평생 좋아할게 세븐틴의 입덕한 거 절대 후회하지 않을게 조슈아, 오빠가 내 최애라서 행복하고, 좋아 확실히 목소리부터가 바꼈을 때 또 다시 반했어... 울 세븐틴..! 사랑해💎🩷🩵

Joshua's speech was great!Very charming and gentle tone makes people feel like spring breeze.♥️

I am teary eyed So proud of being a Carat having an ideal artist - Seventeen I chose the right kpop group to Stan and I'm loving them more each day All my love and support

Awwww I love you so much Joshua and I'm so proud of you & all of Seventeen 🥺😭😭❤️

We are all so proud of you Joshua and of everything seventeen has achieved. Sitting just one country away from France, I was so happy to show all my friends and colleagues yesterday that my favourite kpop group was representing such an important organisation and caused to empower young people. Even without this accolade, you are all already a massive source of inspiration to your fans from all over the world 💗💗💗

These words were so inspiring, encompassed with such warmth and comfort. Such words of assurance and hope. So proud of Seventeen for everything they do. This nomination as UNESCO youth ambassadors was well deserved. Looking forward to a better world with Seventeen, together.

Thank you for being an inspiration, Seventeen. Carats are so proud of you.

シュア、あなたは本当に誇らしい！ WE ARE SO PROUD OF YOU, JOSHUA!

Every single dream matters, whether it is big or small,loud or quite, traditional or innovative, personal or public.Never let anyone, including yourself, belittle your dream.❤️🧡.......( seventeen 2024)

I can't tell you how proud I am that Shua is speaking on such a big stage as a representative of Seventeen. I'm so obsessed with the English pronunciation and the message they're trying to convey, I just really like Seventeen. Let's go for a long time. UNESCO!!

Every unique dream that u have is important🤍
