Watching the documentary today opened several doors and windows about the members and Woozi that had previously been closed.
Remembering what Woozi has gone through since debut; the immense sense of responsibility and pressure when he was appointed as a producer at such a young age, being repeatedly criticized for his songs, having his abilities doubted, going through dark times that made it hard for him to stand back up, being cruelly slandered, his song rejected, and he was the main target to be blamed about the songs he wrote.
What he said in the documentary aligns with the long message he once wrote at a time when he was being struck down by people’s cruelty and with what he has continued to say even now; that he, too, has felt despair; he experiences anxiety about losing something; he feels fear and exhaustion; that he just wants everything to be okay and with the members for a long time; that he has always given his best, quietly.
From the outside, everything looks dazzling, without realizing that there are corridors within him and seventeen untouched by light. Well, that’s normal, because they are human. May the world always be kind to him and seventeen 🩷
