Other facts about them: -SCOUPS is the youngest in the Choi family but the oldest in Seventeen. -Dino is the oldest in his family but the youngest in Seventeen. -Woozi is an only child in his family but he sits in the middle (7) so that makes him the middle of Seventeen. -Woozi has low tolerance in alcohol so he doesn't drink and he has a sort of allergy reaction (reddish skin) when he drinks alcohol -their ages form a diamond 95 95 95 96 96 96 96 97 97 97 98 98 99 -Hoshi once watched Dino perform and he said that Dino will be a good dancer and they ended up on the same group. -The8 saw the 17 project on tv and now he is one of the members💗 -their bestfriends with monsta x (carats and monbebes are married couple)
i believe the reason The8 saw the 17 project was because Pledis recruited him so he watched that to...like check them or meditate, thinking,... (sorry my E isn't good enough)
One thing is that The8 is probably (imo at least) the most honest member and possibly one of the most honest idols in general. He's so unapologetically himself, everything he says or does you can always know for sure that he's doing cuz he feels comfortable doing. He may be a "Savage" but I think that's one of the charming points in his personality (not even my bias 😅 but it's Seventeen so y'know you gotta love everyone)
Do you know Monsta X and Seventeen is long lost brothers/siblings 😂 they are so best friends with each other. like literally all 20 of them (13 + 7 including Wonho) they even debuted couple days apart (not planned tho ofc) Monbebes and Carats also BFF! like we never had a fan war or what so ever. You can search for Monsta X and Seventeen BFF moment. 😆
Going Seventeen is one of THE BEST reality tv shows out there (not even being biased here). It started off as a "behind the scenes" video diary of their tours and stuff but at around 2019 (I think) they revamped it and turned it into weekly episodes with different themes (sports, mind games, challenges, mafia...) As you pointed out the concepts are all so different and creative in every episode, the production team is insanely good. Even if you don't react to them (tho I would love to see you hehe) you should watch them bc they're 1 hour long (normally split into two 30-ish minute long episodes, 1 released every Wednesday) of pure entertainment and fun and you'll get to know the members waaaay more and understand many inside jokes. Also once a year they have this special episode called "TTT" in which the production team rents them a villa, frees them there and gives them alcohol and usually a karaoke machine and the chaos unleashes. These are unscripted and the greatest thing you'll ever watch. Oh! And they also composed and produced the intro and outro song of the show.
So, more info about our lovely Junhui, since you noticed that he has a comforting presence: The guy with Junhui at 26:02 is Pentagon's Yanan. They are the 'eternal couple' with their infinite love, respect and admiration for each other. They're both very close and care for each other so much. The two of them are sweet, shy and honest with their feelings. Yanan had a lot of problems with his self-esteem, and in that scene his emotional health was very unstable. Junhui was really a rock that stood firm for him, even though he was not in his best condition either. I'm very grateful that Yanan had someone like Junhui to be with him at the time, especially because his group went through a difficult situation as well and that added to Yanan's hiatus, he was in China, far from his members, and Junhui was his support. Ugh, i love them so much 💖 Seventeen is a group with many social butterflies (they have so many friends from other groups) but there are relationships with other idols that are much stronger than others. You can feel that they really love their friends. For example, Seungkwan with his best friend Moonbin from ASTRO, Vernon and Kino from Pentagon, Seungkwan with SinB and Umji from Gfriend (now VIVIZ), Jun with the chinese nct members, All the Seventeen members with all the monsta x members (including Wonho). And of course, Jun with his eternal partner Yanan. Thank you for the reaction 💖🫂 welcome to the diamond life 💎
My heart broke watching Yanan on that show. Junhui was so amazing as a support system to Yanan and their friendship was so amazing to see. And then when Yanan left and Junhui decided to leave too and then Minghao was trying to persuade him to stay but Junhui wanted to make the decision himself. I get emotional now just thinking about it. They really are social butterflies.
21:18 girl get ready cuz Jun and Minghao are ALWAYS (and i really mean it) together, like even if they don’t want they still end up together in any possible thing
Svt units don’t work like nct units do, they don’t have separate albums or anything like that - but they do have unit songs on most albums (and some unit songs even have mvs or special contents)
Woozi can actually play a ton of different instruments. We've seen him play the clarinet, piano, guitar and drums but he's mentioned he's learned how to play a lot more when he was younger. A true musical genius. Also yes the majority of Seventeen are introverts, except Seungkwan, Mingyu, Joshua and Dino. But they've been together so long half of the introverts act like extroverts (case in point Hoshi) when they're together cause they're just so comfortable with each other. Seungkwan and Mingyu are social butterflies. Seungkwan especially has friends in all of the industry, from fellow idols (boys and girls, seniors and juniors) to comedians and variety show MCs, to athletes and celebrity chefs etc...
Since I am a huge DINO stan...(obviously) the fact that they didn't play Dino's "Last Order" made me sad. 😅 but it's so fun watching you fall in love with SVT.
We see Jun being taken care of by his members a lot but the clip with him and Yanan was so touching. Like you can see the empathic and wise side of Jun. The clip is longer than that and what he says to Yanan is actually so powerful he's so good with his words. Yanan's situation was actually really bad at that time, he's been on and off on hiatus for practically 2 years, missed 4 come backs and a world tour. Jun really was his pillar in that show they were so cute together. (Yanan is from Pentagon btw they're fully self-produced too and vocal gods just putting that out there lol I'm a unicarat so I had to. I'd seen this video before I knew who Jun was but yeah it hit even harder after I got to know Svt)
0:55 "Hoshi demands attention. And i would gladly follow that demand" For real! Hoshi's stage presence is no joke! You HAVE to react to his solo song Spider. 3:30 that's the song. And yes that was his singing
‘It’s insane they have so many talented people’ and when you know that only 3 of them actually auditioned, and that the other 10 were streetcasted/scouted???? Makes it even more insane istg 🤯
I feel like pledis has the best scouters around, recently I read the story of like Minhyun of Nu'Est and how this scout had a profetic dream or smth and suddenly visited a school on the mountains in the middle of nowhere and found him
Performance unit is literally the unit that has the most solo releases in the entire of svt xD they’re the most all rounded of svt, each of them can literally sing rap and dance, they each have certain creative goals they want to accomplish (which is why all 4 of them have solo releases/projects of some sort) but unfortunately were really underappreciated especially in their early years (cuz it was seen as the ‘discards’/‘spares’ unit) but they’ve been increasing in popularity as of late :> (can you tell I’m a perf unit bias lmaooooo) Chan may not seem like a maknae cause he’s the oldest child at home!!
I would absolutely LOVE if you reacted to a Going Seventeen episode (although they're quite long so I totally get if you prefer watching it on your own 😆). Going Seventeen is so popular (rightfully so, considering that it's fun, and just gets better and better each ep) that it has its own fanbase (fans who only watch the episodes but don't follow Seventeen) they're called "Cubics"btw .... Anyways great to see more Seventeen reactions 🎉
Thought you'd love to know that the tiny child you saw during the clip of them all in the practice room pre-debut is the same kid as the boy at 20:56 with Jun and The8, his name is Samuel.
32:00 that’s THE8,s solo song called Side By Side. You’re gonna love it! Also glad to hear that you have declared him your bias😂 lets see who else joins in this list😂😂
Yoo! I'm glad the guide showed "BooSeokSoon" (BSS for short). They're actually my bias line so I've been starving for more content with the 3 of them as a unit (although to be fair any Going Seventeen episode feels like they always manage to find each other to make gags together 😂)
answers to some of your comments/questions (+ extra info): - hoshi is a whole child!!! but his solo's are IT!! Jun when he's dabbing (and a number of other clips) are all from Chao Yin Zhan Ji (潮音战纪 - CYZJ). A Chinese show that both Jun and The8 were part of, where they produce and perform different songs against other artists. - the guy in black when Jun is dabbing (21:00), is actually Samuel (who was a SVT trainee, the little one) so they already knew each other when they were all on CYZJ. - Jun comforting the other guy (26:00) is actually also from CYZJ, the other person is Yanan from Pentagon, they were all super stressed out during the show, but Pentagon was going through some super hard things and meant Yanan was on hiatus, so he was even more stressed (and he has self esteem issues). so yeah at 27:50 the show is Chao Yin Zhan Ji (CYZJ) and Jun and The8 were on it with Samuel and Yanan, who they are also friends with - Falling Down is ACE!!, and the8 is an amazing dancer. 34:05 is also from CYZJ and the8 rapped in that song!! he talked on that show a lot about his relationship with fans (i think that clip of him talking may also be from CYZJ). DINO.....sir Austin has his reasons..... i think Dino's dad is actually a dance teacher? (i think it was mentioned in SVT project or pre-debut stuff) - Joshua and Jeonghan are CHEATERS!! they also baby like...everyone and bring absolute chaos During pre-debut woozi was super stressed because he was worried that if his music wasn't good enough he would be letting the whole group down, he's actually seems to have become way more relaxed in the last few years (and way happier). In the same vein, DK had super low self-esteem during pre-debut about his voice and not being a good enough singer for the group. This comes up a lot in SVT project, the show right before their debut. DK's musical is SO GOOD!!!!! (2:03:53) you should watch it if you want to!! (2:18:50) I believe Seungkwan (the robot voice that they added was right btw) cried here because he couldn't promote with the members properly due to an ankle injury - he had said they'd promote together for a long time and i think felt like he'd kinda broken a promise? also, you're lit. like 2 days older than me...
They have a lot of introverts but they are so friendly and make friends easily. Best group friends with MonstaX and one of the most known friendship is the 97 liners which include DK, Mingyu, The8, Jungkook (BTS), Yugyeom and BamBam (Got7), Jaehyun (NCT) and Eunwoo (Astro).
Oooh nice! a The8 biased or should I say *"8star"* ☺️ (each member has an individual fanname too, that's for Minghao's) he has quite a bit of solo material, recently he released a song called "Hai Cheng' the MV and lyrics are beautiful, I think you would enjoy it a lot!!! Edit- lol you've already seen it, my bad 😅🤦♀️ but still his other stuff it's worth checking out too ✨
As far as content goes, SVT has a ton because they're so active. Most people start with title tracks (including Japanese) from debut to now, then go back and do album listens with the lyrics channel you talked about for B-sides and a live stage for the title track they already listened to and solos. Then they start getting into content that showcases their personalities like Hit the Road (a documentary shot during their first world tour that has one episode highlighting each member), In the Soop, and Going Seventeen. When you get to it, Seventeen themselves have suggested TTT 2020 (episodes 44 and 45) as an introductory episode for someone who has never watched before and wants to get to know the members.
Hoshi is my bias so seeing you react to him makes me so happy. The song that you were talking about at 3:35 is actually his solo song “Spider” (yes that’s him singing). I HIGHLY recommend that you check it out. The MV is insane, the song slaps, and the coreo is beyond amazing
Dino's solo "Zero" actually has two versions. The first version was when he first performed it at their concert years ago after he just graduated from high school. This version is completely different from the one he performed at their latest Power Of Love concert and for the second version it's called "Zero (Hero)".
The guy Jun was talking to was Yanan from the group Pentagon. He and Jun were partners in a Chinese competition show that The 8 and former Seventeen trainee Samuel were also competing in the results ended with Samuel and his partner winning the competition but Jun and The 8 both had good standings on the show. I never really knew Juns personality that well until I watched this show and the way he took care of Yanan was so lovely.
Not to be biased but Jun has the best solos. He’s actually the first member in seventeen to release a solo album with two songs. 💕 Also, Dino’s vocals is just sooo underrated. Tbh, if you watch their live performances, he’s one of the most stable members in the group that sometimes he would sound like a backtrack even when he’s actually singing live.
1:35:27 they weren’t saying his head was disproportionate to his body, just that he has a small face/facial features which is a compliment in korean culture. basically meaning he fits the korean beauty standards really well
DK being my (current, seventeen never lets me live lmao) bias, i'm disappointed OP didn't include that DK literally set the record for ISAC archery, he literally broke the camera and got all 10s!! love that man to death he and all of seventeen are so talented :,D
Seventeen has a lot of friends in the industry.... From BTS, Gfriend, Monsta X, Nue'st and also NCT. I've seen you're a NCT fan, recently a fan saw Seungkwan with Doyoung and Jungwoo eating together (the fan approached and got their signatures 🤗) Great reaction Caitlin, as always. I'm exited for your Carat journey 👏👏👏
If you like both Monsta X and Seventeen now you definitely need to check out some of their moments together! They have one of the best friendships I've seen in kpop and have always been so supportive of each other
Not sure if anyone has posted this yet 😅, just a little bit on Jun, he has officially released three solos in the last 4 years one of which isn't available outside Chinese streaming platform 😔 he has a song called Silent bordering gate which has an mv to it. It's really beautiful and bittersweet, and I do recommend it if you would like to check it out one 😊 he also makes many beautiful covers in Chinese and Korean (and one recently in Japanese)
Hoshi screaming out of a running car's window about his hometown just as they were talking about him doing so has to be the funniest Svt moment ever! 🤣🤣😂
OMG thank you for your reaction, my bias is seungkwan. He so cute, carat always joke about his friendship, because he collect friend everywhere like another idol (nct, monstax, astro, viviz,red velvet, super junior etc) comedian, chef etc. He have grup to 98line. He good about anything its make me always fall in love with him.
Just wanted to comment on what you said about jun and minghao the "don't put them together" because right who wouldn't go crazy? yeah girl they're always together!!!! they're soulmates so your heart is going to always explode because YOU CAN NEVER SEPARATE THEM LITERALLY THEY'RE ALWAYS TOGETHER. I've never seen a duo be so different personality wise but so close at the same time. Minghao is always taking care of jun and jun is always taking care of minghao, they're each others pillar since predebut and it's honestly the best friendship i've ever seen. You should watch compilations of them on the chinese program Chao Yin Zhan Ji, they participated in 2018 with other chinese artists and you can see through that show how much they care for each other and how no matter who they're with they will always look out for each because like i said, they're each others pillar since they're the only chinese members in seventeen. They're both my ultimate biases and it's the best decision i've ever made, their friendship and connection with each other honestly gives me hope.
1:56:40 This was really so funny like it had me laughing on the floor. But did you guys notice how Jeonghan ran straight up to him to check if he was okay!!! He was laughing but still worried. Big bro energy there
Omg yes! I've been waiting for this😁 I've slipped into the diamond life VERY recently. 1.5 months ago to be precise. I had also been resisting the urge of getting into them, as you mentioned in one of your svt reactions. Until that fine day when i finally gave in. One of the best decisions of my life! Been head over heels in love with them since then🥰
This was so fun to watch! As someone who’s also into the groups you like (exo, nct, & svt), this makes me sooo happy! it feels like christmas with the amount of uploads you have from these groups, from glitch mode-grey suit- and now with you slipping to the diamond life. Literally having a Caitlin marathon every night before I head to bed lol but yes i truly enjoy watching your journey with these groups! Keep doing you Caitlin! I hope you’re having a lovely day and always stay safe! Much love.
"that guy" that jun was talking to was yanan from pentagon! hes also very cute! would definitely recommend checking pentagon out! come join us universes
i recently saw someone say that dino is always laughing at svt's jokes because they raised him and he's got all of their sense of humours. just thought i'd share that
I think it was fate that you started to become stan seventeen, since some of the groups you like are connected. Wooyoung and Seungkwan are friends, Mingyu and Jk are from the same group of friends (97 line) and monsta x and seventeen are basically married lol and recently started a whole family mode between atinys and carats
I just said in the other video you have to react to Hoshi’s Spyder! Its his solo song and it’s a masterpiece! And The8’s solo songs too, Side by Side and Hai Cheng. For group songs I recommend Very(Aju) Nice, Kidult, Clap, Mansae, Campfire, Our Dawn is Hotter Than Day. Also, I started watching Going Seventeen 6 months ago and it has brought me the greatest joy since then. I look forward to every Wednesday and they are so committed to entertaining. They know they have fans who only watch Going Seventeen but aren’t part of the fandom and they are appreciative of anyone who has interest in them in any capacity. Seventeen really is the most amazing group and is now my ult group. I love them all, Jeonghan is my bias and DK and Hoshi are my wreckers.
Nearly every single album has the main 3 unit songs!! In fact it’s the exception to not have the 3 unit songs in an album they make it a point to try and highlight each member as much as possible so they make up for the lack in ot13 songs in their unit songs!
thank you so much for reacting to it!! The reason because I wanted to make a guide was because I dont know carats irl and wanted to share my love with svt and watching your reaction was amazing ❤❤❤ I had so much fun, you're really funny and sweet! thank you ♡
I feel like you shoul definetly react to seventeen solos. starting from 2021Jun released silent boarding gate (and crow), hoshi released Spider, Minghao released side by side, and Mingyu and Wonwoo released Bittersweet together. At the beginning of 2022 Woozi released Ruby. These solos are part of the '13 Tapes project' . They also have other solo songs but are not offically released only on there soundcloud such as Dino's Zero, Hoshi's Touch and HHU un haeing il chi . Minga-hao has been releasinG solo project under the 'THE 8 CONTEMPORARY ART' that started off as only dancing but turned into solo songs as well. Dino has been releasing his danceology videos for years AMAZING. Live covers can also be found mainly by Dk, Seungkwan and Jun
There are alot of members in SVT are introvert even Hoshi and yes he's an introvert too. But when they are together everyone can be chaotic and thats one of the reason why Going Seventeen is a too variety program
1:22:56 going seventeen is truly the best idol variety show you will watch trust me. Not only are they all hilarious by themselves but the editing and concepts that the team come up with are so witty and clever
58:29 i love that u love seeing jun & minghao together😌 junhao was actually the reason i started liking seventeen because i loved their dynamic together so much! jun & minghao are rly rly close & minghao has said before that jun was the only one by his side when he didn’t speak a word of korean & i think because of that they’re very very close & rely on each other a lot & it’s just really beautiful🖤
Omg thank you for the long reaction Caitlin. I truly enjoy your reaction. Yes yes! That is MX's Minhyuk. Seventeen and Monsta X are actually really close with one another. They even had a colab perfomance on MAMA during their rookie year. Wonwoo are besties with changkyun. Scoups even mention that they he loves monbebe too. These two groups have been well-known for their tight friendship to the point the fandoms had an official ship name "CABEBE", meaning Carats+Monbebe. It was given to us by Hyungwon and I.M. Please react to some monteen moments or contents someday!(only if you have the time or day, no pressure boo ❣️)
I am so happy there are new updated guides on our boys! But I am a lil disappointed that they didn't mention Jun's history with martial arts and his injury. But I am so happy they showed Jun and Minghao's chinese performances! Also I could've easily watched the guide myself (even though I already knew all of this) but I said heck no and wanted to watch it "with" you instead! Love your reactions ♥
It seems intimidating at first getting into seventeen, I feel that way too and I become a fan of them after the concert so I did feel overwhelmed at the content.I’m not a reactor so I know I could take my time, I understand the pressure of having to react to so many things to the point of kind of “avoiding”? Especially for a multi so it must’ve been overwhelming and draining sometimes to keep up with content. Like it’s impossible to watch every single thing they made, so take your time with it and enjoy the process of getting to know them. I watch going seventeen to know them personally and it’s fun to watch since there’s a lot of different games and genres they made, so you can start in order or start with whatever interests you first, personally I start with what interests me first (like debates and mafia) and then I kind of binge whatever I want from there, if I hear a song I never heard of I switch to listening to their albums, and switch back into going seventeen. Idk it’s something I did starting out with seventeen and hopefully that will kind of help you find which direction you want to go to. After all it’s your channel so you have the final call 😉
Carats like to tease Hoshi saying he's a hamster and bruh he is a hamster irl! But no one would dare to call him anything else than tiger when he's on stage cuz he'll be smashing it like a mding tiger every single time !
I personally think that Dino's maturity comes from the fact that he is the eldest in his family. One thing that really made me love him and Seungkwan's relationship was that one conversation in "in the soop." They often bicker but you can see how much a reliable maknae actually he is and the older members actually wants to baby him a lot but he's not just it.
27:34 to answer your question, they were working on something. Jun went back to China to film his new romance drama, "exclusive fairtytale" that will be releasing someday this year
1:43:21 we need to keep this man away from water i swear, the fact that the guide didn't include the clip that the image of him pouring ice water on himself is CRIMINAL. Joshua is the DEFINITION of sticking to the bit and going all out lmaooo
Caitlin--I just discovered a Seventeen song from one of Seventeen's early albums! Space. You're going to love it. It's DK plus the hip hop team. Check it out ASAP. And thank you for your delightful reactions. You work hard....💖
Not sure if you'd see this but one of the best ways to get to know them after watching a guide is by watching their Hit the Road documentary series. It's a 13-episode series posted on their youtube channel which gives the point of view of each member from their Ode to You tour and other things. Some of the clips you've seen were actually from the series. Caitlyn did that I think after watching the guide and I'm hoping you and Sir Austin would soon, too :> Edit: it actually has 17 videos including the teaser, prologue, epilogue, and their special song 😁
As usual loved your reaction!!! Glad to see someone who freaking out openly in front of the camera over these wonderful artists along with me :P P.S: I would love to see you react to Loona if you've got any free time between classes and the video requests you're working on already, thanksss!!
I also fell into seventeen because of their music. I listened and listened and listened. And then when I started learning about them and started watching going seventeen, that was it. I fell head over heels and since that day I havent been the same haha. They became my ults of ults of ults lmao, simply because they are so talanted in every single thing they do. Seventeen is my safe place, my home. I just love every single member so much and I can't believe there is 13 amazing individuals that is so extremely good as a group, and as a family - because they really are a family. Welcome to the diamond life. So looking forward to their comeback now! Darl-ing will be released 15th of april and is their first english single as a full group. They will have a full comeback in may!
For me, I started by listening to their album, watching their live stages, then watch their behind the scenes of dance practices or recording (you may find in old going seventeen or Inside Seventeen) and lastly, watch going seventeen.
Seungkwan's vocals 🔥 This is why I became Boosadan ❤. Thank you for reacting to this svt introduction bcs from my opinion, this is the perfect seungkwan's introduction other than any other introduction videos.
