Reaction to "Cheers to Youth" (SEVENTEEN)

[@BeverlyPennell]

I cried through the whole thing...and when the tiger appeared, I cried even harder...just out of love for Woozi, his heart and the hearts of ALL the members. I SOOO love Seventeen. 🐯🤎💙

I'm the first one to click the "thumbs up"! YAY!!!! Joshua (called Shua) has been called a meerkat, since he's always looking around; and I guess he's wondered if he was lovingly called that or not, only to find he has a SHUAKAT fan club. Woozi HATES going out and has groceries delivered; so I think it's precious that when he finally faced his fear to go shopping for himself, he gave the grandmother (a tip of the hat to his own grandmother who inspired the Vocal team's first song "20") a bouquet of chamomiles, which is the official flower of Carats and also represents calming and healing. The rock is Jeonghan and DK's pet rock named Jjongdol. They take turns caring for him and even post pictures and updates on Weverse about how Jjongdol is doing. :) DK never liked school because he said his butt wanted to move too much. Perhaps DK and Jeonghan setting Jjongdol free is their way of releasing comfort in pet rocks and finding it in each other. (??) As for Seungkwan, he LOVES his phone and has said he wouldn't be able to live without it. (I also can't help but wonder if it's a little tribute to Moonbin who doesn't call him anymore.) As for Jeonghan, he has said he doesn't like getting older as his eyesight is getting bad. So each member faced their own fears, came together, and found love in the Tiny Issue Club, or TIssue Club! I LOVE how Seventeen never fails to give hope and comfort! As mentioned below, I ABSOLUTELY ADORE how Woozi thanked Hoshi for inspiring the song! From what I understand the exact comment "It just so happens that it's my first time living today" is what Hoshi said when he made some mistake in one of the concerts; and Woozi took that inspiration to make this masterpiece. Horanghae forever!! 🤎💙🐯

Thank you sooo so much for this, there are still a lot of things that I don't know about Seventeen and I really appreciate that you took time to explain all of this to me in a comment ☺ I really enjoyed how they expressed their worries with these cute metaphors. The details in the video (for example like you explained the choice of the flowers, the pet rock etc) make me understand how they always put a lot of effort in their work and create something that can be liked by people who are new to them, but is so special for Carats!💎And what is beautiful to see is that creating best selling albums is not making them forget to be inspired by loved ones 💜( I sincerely thought about Moonbin too when I saw Seungkwan phone, knowing that they used to talk and go outside, riding the bike together, but I was not sure if my Aroha's eyes were imagining things) I didn't know about Woozi being inspired by his grandma for "20" and I really love how he can still find inspiration in his friends 🐯

@@B_lightson I watched an interview with Woozi yesterday, and he was asked if Seventeen members ever suggest places to go on tour. Woozi said they suggest a LOT because they want to see Carats everywhere; but Hybe only picks those places that will create profit. Woozi said the team doesn't like that. They don't care about the profit. They just want to go where Carats want them to be. Unfortunately, without profit they wouldn't be able to travel or have high quality videos/performances. So it's a Catch 22 for Seventeen. They don't care about the money; they care only about Carats. Sadly, though, they usually don't get to go where they ask to go.

정한이의 돌은 실제 있긴 하지만, 뮤직비디오 속의 이야기는 그것과 다른 이야기입니다. 뮤직비디오에서 DK는 학업, 미래에 대한 불안을 느끼고 있으며, 교실 장면은 "장래희망"을 묻고 있고, 답으로 "돌"이 되고 싶다고 적었어요. 한국에서는 종종 아무것도 되고 싶지 않은 것을 "돌이 되고 싶다" 라고 하기도 합니다. 정한의 이야기는, "Forever is a lie" 라는 시력 테스트에 나온 문장이 힌트입니다. 마음의 상처로 마음을 닫게 되고, 스스로 무의식적으로 흐리게 바라 봅니다. 그걸 클럽에서 친구들을 사귀면서 다시 생각하게 되었고 나중에 안경을 어항에 넣고, 결국 의사에게 안경을 돌려주며 다시 세상을 밝게 바라 볼 수 있게 되었습니다. DK는 "돌" 이 되고 싶었던 마음을 강물에 돌을 던지면서 이겨 내고, 액자를 보면 강물에서 잘 흘러가, 잘 사는 걸로 표현 되고 그걸로 마음의 짐을 덜어 놓았다는 이야기에요. 승관이는 노래 가사처럼, 전화를 무서워 해요. 무서워 회피하던 전화를 나중에는 DK와 같이 바라보며 마음을 열어 가고, 점점 전화 오는 두려움을 극복하게 됩니다. 뮤직비디오의 호랑이: 티슈 클럽은 다 문제가 있는 사람들이 모인 클럽인데 호시는 늘 본인이 호랑이라고 말하고 있고, 사람들은 아니라고 합니다. 그래서 그 문제로 티슈 클럽에 오게 되었다는 이야기입니다 ㅋㅋㅋ (멤버가 실제로 이야기 한 내용이에요~) 한국어로 썼지만, 번역이 되길 바라며! ㅋㅋ 리액션 영상 잘 봤습니다~

@@백조-y7d Thank you so much for your explanation! There are a lot of things that as an international fan I might not understand, so I'm really thankful that you wrote this. I also finally understood Jeonghan's story better thanks to you ☺ Also, Hoshi going to the club because people don't recognize that he is a tiger is really funny 😆🐯 Thank you for watching my reaction and for commenting!

The part about Hoshi. He's our tiger lol. As you might know. At a previous concert, he made a mistake. The members teased/scolded him about it afterwards and he replied by saying he's sorry and that he's also living this life/this day for the first time. Meaning we all make mistakes. Woozi was inspired and wrote a whole song about it. And paid tribute to Hoshi at the end with that tiger. You're right, the song is about different challenges people face, like the social anxiety, etc. But it tells you it's ok, tomorrow might be better. There's a tissue club that they all go to in the mv. It stands for Tiny Issue club. So no matter how small your problems are in relation to what others think, your feelings are valid and you just need to get through each day as best as you can. I love that they don't tell you get better or be better but rather to find small things that can make you smile or cope. Ugh, the empathy in this song. 🩷🩵

Sometimes people feel like they can't share their problems, they think the others might find them weak for being triggered by something that looks easy to them, so I'm so happy to see how this song validates everyone's feeling. Every problem can have a different weight for a different person and should not be dismissed as silly. As you said, they are not telling you that you should get better, they are encouraging you to find little moments of happiness that can help you go on ☺ I heard about Hoshi's answer, now everything is clear ahah I really love that answer, if you think about it it's true! We are all living for the first time, why are we always expecting perfection from ourself? I'm really thankful to them for this song 💙
