SEVENTEEN (세븐틴) | ''청춘찬가 (Cheers to youth)' Official MV & Live Stage REACTION

[@OindrilaBanerjeeisaRyHard]

See now I also thought, "Oh that's so sweet they gave a shout out to Hoshi because he is the inspiration for the song" What I forgot was Vocal Unit are clowns and they do this singing thing as a side gig, because Jeonghan went on live a while ago and said, "Oh we included Hoshi as a joke because it's tiny issues club and his issue is he thinks he is a tiger" 😭

[@NewChapterReactions]

Omfg 💀💀they're so unserious haha

[@eoreunai17]

This are my take about the members scenario: - Jeonghan is scared of what he's seeing (the future), that he doesnt want to acknowledge seeing that "forever is a lie" - he tried to find a prescription glasses but nothing works to improved what he sees, instead when he joined the T(iny) Issue club then he got more clear things to see. Feels like the future looks better around the members, that he just enjoy it and let go of the glasses 🤍 - Joshua feels like a meerkat in his office, in a way he always look around but no one seems to care about him. He was drenched in one scene, and at the other scene, he got an umbrella and snack with notes saying "thank you for the umbrella". So I think, he lent his umbrella to someone when he was drenched, and didnt expect to get such appreciation back. Hence, small things makes him happy and feel recognized (even furthermore, turns out there are Shuakat fanclub 🤭 that loves him) - Woozi has social anxiety, he doesnt go out from his room at all (seen at the very first scene, that there's so many delivery trash surrounded him). The way he looks sad with a last piece of puzzle that arent fit in, feels like, that last puzzle was him that doesn't fit with the society. He gets tired of the delivery food tho (when he put down the chicken), so he tried to reach out the outside world thru the screen robot to buy fresh groceries. And it works! with the help of the old woman. So, he feel relieved and less anxious, that he took a brave step to the outside world to thank the old woman personally ☺️ - DK probably was a student trying to get a job (?) maybe he went thru such test so many times. Until that question about what his dream, he write the answer as "Rock". Idk how the rock exactly represents, but it's like a dream of getting first place. He throws the rock to free it from such burden. Is that make sense? 😂 but that's how I feel (funny funfact both jeonghan and dokyeom actually have a pet rock, so it was cute appearance here) - Seungkwan was having busy days, that he gets startled easily with the phone rings/alarms. He ignored it and go to sleep when the phone then turns into a fish. I saw someone said that this fish can also symbolize opportunity (?). He tried to sell it but no ones want to buy it, as this opportunity was only his. So, he then accept and took care of the phone-fish, even trying to practice accepting phone calls by bursting the bubble wrap with that green phone icon. He just gradually hope that the alarms/phone ring sounds does not feel as bad as yesterday 🥰 It was such a relatable song by the lyrics and by every member scenario on the MV, so it's makes me really emotional, until the horanghae comes out 🐯❤ (it's a cute credit as hoshi line inspired woozi to write the song) If you read my long comment until here, hope this day not so bad for you either 🤍

[@gyeongwooeopseo]

Rock would represent a mindset most young adults go through at least once. We all go through the phase when we think to ourselves 'I don't know what I exactly want to do in the future but the world is demanding me to decide on a major, a job, and a solid path in life right now. If I have to deal with all this pressure, I'd rather be a rock and do nothing.'

[@pinko9674]

i read an article that said he dreamed to be rock / thought of himself as a rock because like a rock, he has no dreams, motivation nor goals but everyone's interpretations are o interesting!! /gen

[@user-tu7kx8sd8x]

still can't get over the fact that seungkwan was holding his tears while singing because he thinks that maybe if binnie is still here he would love cheers to youth😢😢 (english is not my first language, sorry for the wrong grammar)

The tiger at the end refers to Hoshi, who was the inspiration for this song. They mentioned that there was a fight and Hoshi at the end as an apology said "I'm sorry this is the first time I live too" which comes from the song that we should celebrate our youth even with the fears and mistakes

[@CaratJoy]

Or per Joenghan, it’s because Hoshi’s TIssue is that he thinks he’s a Tiger 😂

Jeonghan said bcs hoshi's problem is he think he himself is a tiger so he should be in the club😂

Vocal Team is like the sweetest hot chocolate and the most comfortable warm blanket that you can get during rainy days. I love them so much.

[@wonusom__]

I cried when first listen to this song, I cried when I watched the MV, still crying everytime I'm listening to the song and watching the MV, and now I'm crying again with the both of you LMAOOOO. I need a shirt that says "the viewer that cries with bri every time" 😆

[@NewChapterReactions]

Thank you 😆❤

[@auroramiia]

i love this song so much. like vocal team is the personification of warm blanket. they calm your wound that you didn't know it exist with their comforting songs. and the songs never really tell us to change how we are or forcing us to be happy. but more of acceptance about the live we living. it's okay to be like this and it's okay to live with our flaw, just be kind, it's everyone's first time living this life, too. 😭😭😭 i think jeonghan in this is a person who wants to see the world in different perspectives. that's why he keeps trying to find the right glasses. while seungkwan who is a lonely person who's afraid of tomorrow because even the sounds of his own alarm, he hates that. deekay is someone who's unsure about his own future that's why he wrote 'rock' on the question what he wanna be and wanna search validation through academic. woozi is someone who isolate himself from the outside world. and shua is the burnout office worker who seems to look at everyone but himself. that's why he is meerkat. whatever interpretation they have i just love it and it's so close to my heart.

[@kez6201]

i dont know if you know this but woozi said he tried to make the vocals sound sad and the melody is cheery, and idk im not musically knowledgeable but i think this is really cool, its definitely something to think about

[@Caratforever13]

As you noticed the address, beside that there was a Contact number. 012-2015-0526 012 - can be pronounced as "Forever" in Korean. 2015 - svt debut year 0526 - svt debut date (there 9th anniversary is in 1 dayy🎉) The meerkat who represented shua was real. His name is Morae. They have him credit in description. Also the rock dk was having, that's one of the strange thing Koreans have is "Pet Rock." As korean have more working hours and half of population live alone which result them to not raise an pet animal and petting an rock. As animals needs time to watch, to take care of them but pet rocks just don't need anything. Jeonghan has a pet rock name "Doljjong", we call him "doljjong-ie." He also have his own room/space.(he did maestro challenge!)

[@KimbapKidding-vi6wt]

Pet rocks were popular in America too. Back in the 80s. They were followed by things like chia pets. It’s not a Korea specific thing.

[@Caratforever13]

@@KimbapKidding-vi6wt oh thank you for enlightening me, I didnt know that. I got the pet Rock thing from jeonghan and then it was on the new video channel(?) So I thought it just Korea. But they are currently popular in there!

Having watched seungkwan’s ending ment adds up to the emotion of the song 😭

[@keioboysakurai]

This is a bit long but thank you for reading cause they really put a lot of elements in the MV that are so relatable, Seventeen- or ordinary-persons-wise 😅 SEUNGKWAN is someone who seems to be always on the edge, either cause of constant calls or his alarms. I feel like he's got a lot of deadlines to beat that when his phone fell into the fishtank and turned into a fish, he wanted to get it fixed cause he knows he needed it for his daily life but neither a fisherman nor the Oppo staff accepted to fix it 😅 he then just made it into a pet fish, even showing it to DK (who had a pet rock 😆) and at the end his polaroid said 'I hope the day would come when my noisy alarm is less annoying'. His one way of reducing stress? Popping bubble wrap, which is probably so relatable with a lot of people, including me 😅 WOOZI, who in real life we know is an introvert and doesn't really like going out, has a robot who even does the errands for him, like doing the grocery. But being alone only with his robot friend, he eventually felt like there's a missing piece of him as he was doing the puzzle. He tried to overcome his situation and visited the supermarket himself and gave flowers to the grandma staff, probably a way of thanking her. Somehow it feels to me that it's a way of saying we might rely on AI/robots but having to feel that connection with another person still gives a different, warmer feeling. In his polaroid shot, it said 'My friend who brought me out into the world' talking about his robot friend. AI/technology can be a friend but let's not forget about human relationships too. DOKYEOM is a student who seems to be struggling and coping with stress in his studies and his college life in general. While this is relatable everywhere else, I feel like it's especially true in South Korea where they put value in studying and grades so much that a lot would say, 'Grades isn't everything' . His way of coping is to have a pet rock (who even won a trophy 😆). On his exam paper (apparently like an MBTI one taken when you apply for jobs), he even wrote Dol (rock) instead of the answer 😅 In one scene at the T(iny)ISSUE CLUB, he himself was the rock which what he also probably feels at times, that he is a Dol Meori (rock head) or someone whose head doesn't absorb anything/someone who isn't bright. Incidentally, I came across a video which claims that young people in SoKor now take rocks as pets to cope with stress since rocks are easier to take care of. I'm not sure tho how true this is but the video did include a clip of Jeonghan and his own pet rock, Doljjong, so some say JH was the one who started this trend 😆 Towards the end, we see DK throwing his pet rock away with Jeonghan, probably to symbolize him breaking out of his mindset that he'd never do good with his studies. In his polaroid shot, it said 'With Dolkyeong, who won first place in the idling contest'. 😆 JOSHUA is an office worker who is like a meerkat, cause he seems to be looking at everyone, monitoring them. Turns out, in the note with the umbrella, it said Joshua Daeri-nim (Assistant Manager Joshua) meaning he must be at least a position higher than most of those around him. The reason why he's looking around is either cause he's a supervisor to them or he's anxious of what others might think about him, if he's doing a good job. He seems to be stressed about it that he even dreams about it, falling asleep in his car. Unknowingly, his colleagues actually support him, even having a Shua-kat Club 😆 the note on the umbrella said 'Asst. Manager Joshua, thank you for lending me your umbrella' and we see him at the MV's beginning, how he's rained on. He also found a flyer with his photo that said 'We love how you look at us. Keep looking around like a meerkat and we will support you whatsoever, Shua-kat!'. Seems he himself didn't know that he's actually doing great in his job being an assistant manager. In his polaroid shot, it said 'With the Shua-kat Club' 😆 And with JEONGHAN, it seems he's suffering from a physical disability that he feels an inferiority complex about it. But during their T(iny)ISSUES meeting, when he took off his glasses, he actually saw everyone in a different light. I feel like he tends to downplay his capabilities and feel he's not good enough when in fact, he didn't really need the glasses. The board he was reading when his eyesight was getting checked said FOREVER IS A LIE. In the end, he also threw his glasses away (in another fishtank) and in his polaroid shot, it said 'Look directly at it, without glasses'. I think in a way, it also gives the message that we shouldn't overcomplicate things at times. See them as they are. And ofc, Hoshi's cameo. If you're a Carat, you know even without context that when you see a 🐯 it's no one else but Hoshi 🤣 it just... clicks! 🤣 and it's all because of his quoted line 'Sorry, I'm also living today for the first time' that Woozi got the idea for Cheers To Youth 🥰 He shared that story during their Follow Again concert in Seoul about the time when he apologized to the members of something he said that the members felt was a bit too much and said, 'Sorry it's my first time living today'. 🤭 I feel like CHEERS TO YOUTH is the younger sibling of FML... their messages both meant to heal and inspire everyone! ❤️🥰

6:21 this one is my fav❤ in my though they put tiger in mv because Hoshi is the reason why Woozi write this song 🤔 i finally i watched it 22 pm 😂 not 4 am 😆😆

[@mangyujuice]

buckets of tears were really shed when this mv dropped 🥺

[@purplepotato1778]

I listened to this song many times before I watched the MV. I really like it although I only know the meaning roughly. And when I watched the MV the tears didn't stop coming out no matter how many times I watched it, it was still the same. This is a song that cheers you up, but when you watch the MV and there are many things that really relate to you personally, your subconscious will automatically spill what you feel inside or even cover it up, and that happened to me..

The song's atmosphere is bright, but the fact that it made everyone cry makes me think that Woozi is truly a god in the music world. It was a bright atmosphere, but I was surprised that it brought out the heart that it is possible to be sad.😢

[@BeverlyPennell]

I always love your reactions, and this one didn't disappoint!! Thank you!! I was looking for you two! :) And trust me...I cried all the way through the MV, only to cry even more when I saw Hoshi/tiger at the end! Joshua ("Shua") has been likened to a meerkat by fans because he's always looking around, so it fits; and I guess he's wondered if he was lovingly called that or not, only to find he has a SHUA KAT fan club. Woozi has said many times he HATES shopping, so he has groceries and food delivered; so I think it's precious that when he finally overcomes his social anxiety to go shopping for himself, he thanks the helpful grandmother (a tip of the hat to his own grandmother who inspired the Vocal team's first song "20", as well as to Carats since it's the official flower of Carats) by giving her a bouquet of chamomiles. Chamomiles also represent calm and healing. DK's pet rock's name is Dodol. He "adopted" a rock after Jeonghan got HIS pet rock named Doljjong. They take turns sharing pictures and updates on Weverse about their rocks, since the rocks keep them company. Perhaps DK is setting Dodol free...a way of releasing an inanimate rock and opening himself up to relationship with humans. (??) I think his line "I want to be by myself, but I don't want to be alone" as he keeps Dodol by his side is the story. As for Seungkwan, he LOVES his phone and has said he wouldn't be able to live without it. The caller on the phone reads "Unknown Caller" in Korean by the way. I also can't help but wonder if it's a little tribute to Moonbin who doesn't call him anymore; and one of the last videos we saw of Seungkwan and Moonbin together were them riding bikes...?? As for the goldfish, many are theorizing that it represents a distraction...something to snap him out of his funk and go outside. As for Jeonghan, he has said he doesn't like getting older as his eyesight is getting bad. That's one interpretation. Another is that as he matures, he realizes he doesn't need glasses to see the truth..."Forever Is A Lie". It's possible his sadness has to do with his soon enlisting...meaning this happy time in Seventeen's life won't last forever. Of course, Seventeen will ALWAYS live forever in our hearts; and the interruptions while members serve out their time will end and they'll regroup. Yet it will never be like it is now once the members temporarily separate. So each member brought their fears, concerns, anxieties and heartaches to the Tiny Issue Club, or TIssue Club where they were able to talk things out, gain support and find REAL friends. I LOVE how Seventeen tackles the REAL issues of people today, and never fails to give hope, support and comfort. ***** Here is what was written on the poster of the T(iny)ISSUE CLUB (taken from a Twitter post): "Small Problems, Big Solutions!

And seriously...I ABSOLUTELY ADORE how Woozi thanked Hoshi for inspiring the song! "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. Though I've seen the comments about Jeonghan saying it was because Hoshi thinking he's a tiger is an issue Hoshi has, I still prefer the sweetness of Woozi thanking him for the inspiration. Horanghae forever!!

And when they all find each other and they were happy and smiling I was sooo happy!! Their smiles are beautiful!😍 I alway liked the Vocal unit song the best (ofcaurse, I adore every single one of them members) but as a vocalist I feel closer to the vocal unit and their style of songs!

The phone-fish was reprosenting Seungkwan and the part that he took it first to the fisherman and then to the phone expert but neither of them wanted him, it was like he things that he doen't belong anywhere and no one want him!!
