💬: jeonghan dreamed of becoming a teacher when he was young. what did teaching mean to you during your military service? is there a memorable experience you’d like to share?
👼🏻: i worked as an assistant teacher at a specialized school for students with disabilities, and while i was working there, i kept thinking that i was really glad i had ended up at this place of service rather than being assigned somewhere else
👼🏻: at first, there were parts that were difficult because i couldn’t adjust, but as i gradually got used to it and continued helping the children by their side, i grew attached to them, and i also felt a sense of fulfillment. i also felt that being able to spend that period being addressed as ‘teacher’ was really meaningful
👼🏻: usually, when you go to work in the morning, you’re so tired, right? but some of the children would greet me, saying, ‘hello, teacher jeonghan~,’ and somehow… in that moment, i felt really rewarded, and i naturally found myself smiling. i think i especially remember those children who would greet me so warmly in the morning
this is so heartwarming 🥺
watching this I was very proud of the way carats carried themselves in this, while the other fandoms left messages for their own fandoms, carats left a sweet message to kpop stans everywhere, the same way svt always does. I truly believe fans are a mirror of their idols
seventeen are so funny man, the kpop industry is in shambles with people leaving their groups and being caught up in scandals yet here they are worrying about not being eo's SOS contacts or #1 go to member during hard times 😭😭😭😭
DOKYEOM’S NIECE WILL BE BORN AROUND HIS ENLISTMENT😭😭😭 The baby would kick the belly when dokyeom said “i’m your uncle”🥹 #도겸
🐰Oh, and you know I’m becoming an uncle, everyone? Her name is Okong, and I think okongue will be born around the time I enter military. So I was like, “Wow, how did that even happen on the same day?” We talked about it a lot during our family trip this time
🐰 I think I’ll probably see her for the first time when I go on leave after staying at home
🐰My sister’s belly has gotten this big, seriously, it’s really huge, so she has a hard time even sitting down. So I’d say to her belly, “I’m your uncle~” and whenever she ate something delicious, the baby would kick, and things like that
Mingyu talking about how he wants to spend the coming 2 years, he said Carats are his biggest motivation 💎🥹
🐶 : Living these past 10 years, the biggest thing for me has been trying to show Carats, our fans, that I’m growing. The effort I put into showing you a more mature version of myself was huge.
🐶 : But if you were to ask me, "Was there ever anything you worked hard on purely for yourself, with no intention of showing it to anyone else?" Honestly... objectively speaking... there might not have been. I don't think there was. Do you know what I mean?
🐶 : Even with working out, I might have started by saying, "I'm doing this to stay healthy and not get sick". But deep down, even in the smallest of feelings, there was definitely a part of me thinking, "I’m going to work out hard so I can show Carats a cooler side of me".
🐶 : The same goes for English or Japanese. Trying to use them more on stage and putting effort into learning them, that wasn't really about me wanting to become fluent in English or Japanese for myself. It was much more about wanting to communicate with Carats and showing you how much I’ve grown.
🐶 : So... anyway, during the next two years, when the time I have to communicate with you all will significantly decrease, I want to take some time to focus entirely on myself and work on the things that I personally need. And since I'll be doing alternative military service, I don't want to waste the personal time I'll be given. I want to spend it healthily and productively.
🐶 : Honestly, the reason I'm telling you guys all this is because, once again, you are my biggest motivation.

praying not just for seventeen, but for all of us to be in a better place when they reunite, so we can all see each other again as happier, better versions of ourselves 💗
This particular scene on Fandom Stage where a Carat, talked about how people judge idol fans very easily 🥺
💎 : When you say you like idols, there are a lot of people who don't take it seriously. But when you look at the energy and the emotions we exchange with each other, it's absolutely not something to be taken lightly.
I think it's something so meaningful that, to some people, it becomes their reason to live. But still, if you say you are an idol fan, the judgmental looks you have to endure are still...very hurtful.
If anyone around you happens to say they like an idol, I just hope you can look at them kindly. I am truly so proud to be a SEVENTEEN fan, and I am always proud and happy.
