thinking about how oscar said he really studied what went wrong in barcelona for him and feels prepared for what he needs to do during the race #noticing
kpop groups staying together with all their original members for over 10 years is already rare as it is, and that’s usually with smaller groups too. seventeen is doing it with 13 people, which makes it even more insane when you really think about it. realistically speaking you have 13 different individuals, 13 different personalities, different ways of thinking, and somehow every single one of them is still choosing to stay together
like after spending a whole decade together, going through everything they’ve already experienced and achieving as much as they have, it would be completely normal for at least a few of them to want to go their own way or focus on something else. but instead they’re all still saying yeah we want to keep doing this together, we want to keep working as seventeen
that’s not something you can fake or force, especially not for that long. staying together like that takes real trust, real understanding, and an actual bond between them and the fact that all 13 are still on the same page after all these years says a lot more than people (haters) want to admit
