SEVENTEEN Reveals How They've Changed Over the Years | Then vs. Now | Seventeen

How do you think SEVENTEEN has changed in 6 years?

vernon the whole interview:
"hi i'm vernon"
*nod* *smile*
"thats crazy.. thats crazy"
"bye" *wave*

"We've changed from friends to family."
"Is that why our relationship got worse?"
The old married couple energy

Joshua : * starts singing Sunday morning *
Minghao: second hand embarrassment

Seungkwan: *I think we were closer back then*
Carats: *half crying, half laughing*

woozi: so is that why our relationships got worse?
also woozi: was there even such a thing as a reaction?
so you only open your mouth to roast others

One thing's for sure, being a carat is never been a bad choice.

others: hi!
seokmin: *chuckles* hi im dk
BYE HES THE CUTEST 😭

Joshua’s iconic “Sunday morning rain is falling” made a comeback

Seventeen questioning whether they had an international presence from 6 years ago when 17 Carat, a week into their debut in 2015, entered the Billboard World Album Charts at #9 and became the longest charting K-Pop album of the year in the US.

The only time JeongHan talk is when he dissed Mingyu's Fashion lol

i love how minghao answered the question about self care, he's always so eloquent when it comes to talking about those sort of topics :)

joshua: and we're here with ✨the other✨ seventeen.
i seriously love it when seventeen invites svt

"We were closer then" OMG SEUNGKWAN KSKSKDSKKSKS I'M DYING

Relatable that even when I Hear 'Sunday Morning' , I Immediately think of Joshua

Dk: “case by case”
then laughing at himself 🤣🤣
tbh, dk’s english is improving day by day
he’s just soooo adorable

the hand over minghao's exasperated face coupled with vernon's heavy sigh when joshua was singing sunday morning

Svt talking about their past is honestly the cutest thing ever

SK saying he misses the times they would eat together at the corner convenience store... :))) they lived in 2 dorms, traveled in 3 vans, had small waiting rooms.... now they have 4 dorms, travel in 4 vans, have individual schedules, can buy the food they want to eat... The physical intimacy and its consistency may have loosened, but their emotional intimacy with each other definitely grew.

find someone as loyal as joshua with sunday morning.

you know theyre really close when they joke they aren't close LOL

dino talking about when he received a compliment about the outfit he was wearing in new york hahaha is so cute pls and wonwoo saying "is this the international reaction to dino right now?" lmao

they're literally the funniest yet they somehow also manage to share some deep insights aaahhhh

7:31 look at Minghao's reaction when Josh was singing Sunday Morning for the thousandth time 😂

SHUA: SUNDAY MORNING
JUN: SOMEDAY MORNING
🤣🤣🤣

This is honestly so emotional to think of. 6 years ago 13 teenage boys couldn't even think of getting anything close to international attention. Heck they weren't even sure if they would be able to debut due to lack of funds. Despite all the odds against them their success reached to a height most artists could only dream of. They charted in #1 billboard top album. Debuted in billboard 200 and much more!!!. And they did this with pure talent and no privilege. Literally built themselves from scratch.
I'm really do proud of them. Here's to many more achievements 🥂

then: you guys makes me happy
now: you guys still makes me happy

6 years ago us carats would tag the group as sebeuntin to not confuse it with this seventeen. Now this seventeen has 'not the band' on their bio. We all came a long way. Let's be happy together..

"And we're here with the other Seventeen-" WHY IS THIS SO FUNNY 😭

I like how the rest of the guys were like "learning lyrics is the same" but The8 and Jun interrupted them and said "it has become easier for us" and the rest thought about it, and said they were awesome. At least that's how I interpreted it.

seventeen never misses a chance to tease mingyu XD

“Our happiness grows from giving strength to someone out of the many people in the world through the messages in our albums” this is the reason why i love them so much 😭😭❤

the way they said from "friends" to "family"
AAAAAAAAAA I LOVE THESE DORKS

But one thing that didn't change is their humility and being always grounded. They've achieved things that they probably didn't imagine but they still remained humble. Always courteous to the staff they work with and always include them in speeches and album thanks to. And they still have this aura of being approachable. And as they said, the love we fans have is always reciprocated. You can clearly feel their sincerity whenever they talk with carats or even about carats. And you can also see that love on the beautiful music they put out making carats even more proud.

Then - SEVENTEEN KINGS
Now - SEVENTEEN LEGENDS

Didn't know if they would have an international presence? Back in 2013 when they did the Seventeen TV livestreams Josh and Vernon would go into the little gray room on camera 9 and we would tell them in the chat what countries we were watching from and they would talk to us in English. Mind you they always seemed surprised by a lot of the answers.

Then: i thought Seventeen was just some other group that I will listen to and will give me entertainment.
Now: they are my lifestyle and even if I watch them everyday I don't get sick of it at all. They are my everything and inspires me to dream since I don't have one. Thank you so much my loves. For more than six years of love and happiness.

Kudos to whoever wrote these questions they were actually really creative and allowed for interesting answers. Seventeen did amazing as always!!

I love it now when Jun's getting more comfortable answering interview questions. We need more of Junhui being active on interviews!

Dino sharing comment about “so cute” for his over all
REALLY SO CUTE 🥰

During the debut years...
they were close because they knew to spend a lot of time together and cultivate that relationship. They were growing up together in the same group, which made it all the more easier to grow closer through all the hardships.
Now... their relationship has a much deeper layer of trust in it. They don't need to spend all their time together, but they will still understand each other just by a certain look in the eye. I don't think their relationship has gotten worse... They just have more trust in each other.

They have honestly grown and changed a lot. But one thing is clear, they're a lot more comfortable with themselves. I've noticed it since the first time I saw them in 2015.
Back then, I don't think they gave much thought into why wanted to be here and what exactly they want to do and represent as idols and artists. They wanted to be on stage because it felt good and they sacrificed things to be here. It was just a feeling that teenagers like them wanted to continue feeling empowered by.
But now, I can totally see who they are and what they want. They go on stage because it empowers people. It empowers them, their fans, anyone who is watching, anyone who is listening, the youth looking at them, and the people who share their same dream of performing. They continue their job because it gives so many people the strength to live through today and hope for a happier tomorrow. And as artists, they want to make sure that people see them as the artists they are. The artists who are able to showcase their honest feelings and thoughts because they make their own music and choreography. They want people to know that even in a society ruled with corporations, there's still hope for one's own self expression. They show their kind hearts by supporting marginalized groups & the donations they make to various organizations that branch from orphans to school programs for kids to achieve their dreams. They do those things because it's simply what they think is right and when the press publicizes their actions, it's showing who they are and what they are wanting to represent on a social level. In an interview recently Hoshi mentions how before he didn't really think about it, but being a public figure does carry a social responsibility whether or not all people use it. I can see that now, they have found what they should stand for because they have this social responsibility.
Not to mention how they carry themselves then vs now. Back then, they just kinda had to deal with what they were given and make the best of it. But now that they have a little more time and energy to themselves, I can see that they're actively exploring themselves. In the way they all talk, dress themselves, and even take care of themselves. They have overall, just been getting more and more comfortable with who they are. Looking back 6 years ago, they probably didn't think much about themselves, always hungry for the stage. Now, they are more comfortable with themselves as real people and who they are on camera as idols.
It's just nice to see them get used to being idols and even being comfortable with the life they're leading right now. They are so much more comfortable with everything than they were when they were just a bunch of teenagers debuting in 2015.

I could watch them answering questions for hours, seriously they have grown so much it doesn't even seem like 6 years... I am so proud of them and thankful for being a carat

As someone who has been their fan for over 4 years now, I’ve seen them grow and blossom tremendously. Back then, like they said, it was about trying to survive and trying to achieve realistic, concrete goals, and ultimately, trying to survive in this highly competitive and harsh industry. Back then, they were in a phase where they were continuously trying to win the people’s hearts and so they were always finding ways to improve and with that, you can see that they’re always questioning whether what they do is ever good enough. Now, you can see how they’ve grown to become more comfortable with themselves, to know their limits and to appreciate that not all things can be flawless. You can also see how close they’ve become now having gone through so much during their trainee years-in my opinion, they have one of the closest and sincerest relationships with each other than any groups I’ve seen. What hasn’t changed is their humility and appreciation to the gratitude they’ve received over the years. They still feel like the boys you see 6 years ago, giving out free stickers to the public so that they can come to their showcases. That’s the same kind of appreciation they have today and I couldn’t be more proud for what they’ve grown into. I hope SEVENTEEN continue to grow and be blessed by success because they’ve brought joy to a lot of people that may not have known what joy feels like before seeing them ✨

Vernon: let them talk, Im gonna just sit, nod and smile

dinos ‘oh so cute’ is literally so cute 😭😭

I think it is time for Shua to release an official cover of Sunday Morning on their channel 🤣

I think they've actually been able to relax and be themselves more as time goes on. I remember when members like Jun and Woozi rarely spoke at interviews and now they're confident and comfortable in doing to. They've worked so hard and I'm so happy that they feel comfortable enough now to be able to be themselves in front of carats as time has gone by.

Seventeen really has charm in their interviews. They have no pretense throughout and would roast other members like in the gose and YET, they gave honest answers. So proud of how far you’ve come boys.

3:52 “even now mingyu can sometimes dress over the top”
ahhh yes, mingyu not catching a break from his members. the usual

Seventeen really changed a lot, but for the better. I know they’re already a talented bunch bursting with so much inspiration and creativity back then but their skills and talents improved over the years, and with that came the recognition they deserve. But even with the fact of being locally and internationally famous, they still remain grounded to their roots. They have changed in a lot of aspects but their values never did. And that’s what makes me so proud of them, I am proud to be a fan of someone who also gives back the love I am giving and acknowledges my existence ♥️

not dino saying “ oh so cute” in the cutest tone ever!! 😭😭😭😭🥺🥺❤️

This video not only made me look back on what Seventeen is back then, but also who I was when I stanned them. I'm the same age as Mingyu, The8 and DK, and I've watched them grow from teenagers to men. I remembered how I was also a teeneager and now as an adult I'm still with them and grew along with them.
Seventeen has been very passionate and energetic even back then, they still do now but I feel like they are now more comfortable and aware of the industry that they're in. Back then they were just starting to build up their name and brand; now they are established and more focused on using their name for the things they know are important. Now, they are more open to the public about how they are as humans, and idol image should not be seen as someone who is 'perfect'. This affected me as well as I go along with them, from a teenager who thought being perfect is everything, I have learned along these men that I'm human, there would be things I'm not good at, but I can improve on them and grow. Seventeen taught me so much about life, not just by their music, but also through the actions that they show to people. I thank them so much for that. ❤

svt saying their r/s worsened cause theyre more like family now LMAO
knowing how my family is, thats relatable. but also i hope theyre getting along hahaha

7:31 MINGHAO LOOKS SO DONE LMAO

SeungCheol: we couldn't even think of something like international reaction.
Me being a Carat since predebut👀👀🤣like I remember when we (Carats) didn't even had a name

6 years ago, SEVENTEEN had a reality show for them to debut and it required number of audiences. To think they started from a small group of 200 (in one of the episodes) then to a thousand (live debut) then years later to hundred thousands (concerts). I've been following this group since Mansae era and I could just cry at how proud I am of their growth and effort.
One thing that made me really appreciate this group is their sincerity. You could see that in their teamwork and performances. They are also very sincere in their love for CARATs. They acknowledge that the love they give back isn't enough in their songs (All My Love) but they still try to give us love back. They strive to be a group that won't make fans embarrassed in being an idol fan. They know that there's a stigma for that and they work hard just for the fans to be proud. Likewise, they also project their sincerity in their songs as they are the ones to produce it. The self-producing idols as the general public dubbed them.
Anyways, I'm just so proud of them! I still can't believe it's been 6 years already!

im amused the way how they start the video with joshua singing sunday morning rain is falling when i actually watch this exactly on sunday morning but rain isn't falling yet

Everyone wants a group of friends like seventeen 🤗

From close friends to family over the 6 years Seventeen have been together :’))))))

Honestly every time I think of Sunday Morning it is Joshua's voice that comes to my mind!!!!
His love for that song is so constant!!

They never change at all and their jokes are getting crazy now 🤣

these guys and their unapologetic truths, it's one of the biggest reasons why i respect the hell outta them. but seungkwan with "we were much closer back then" had me finished!! giving off such family energy man, love them to bitssss.

One thing has never changed for me as a carat, since debut until now, Seventeen has produced so much content for us to enjoy (from broadcasts Abema TV, 17Project, to vlives and going seventeen ++ solos and mini albums). Ever since I decided to become a Carat, I don’t think I ever thought of joining another fandom. I’m overly contented with these boys

they have grown A LOT throughout the years im so proud of them

vernon didn't say a word the whole interview

7:41 Vernon: let's do a remix
Sunday morning remix let's go!!

alternative title: *yoon jeonghan just sitting prettily and fixing his pretty hair for **11:13** minutes*
i love him

SEVENTEEN is the best group

They talked about their past relationship vs now is really funny.. Hope you guys be together for a long long time....

I'M LIVING FOR THIS EARTH TONE THEME.

No but the most ironic thing is that i feel like theyre that one group that hasn't changed at all since tgeir rookie days, like in the sense they treat their seniors, give their all in variety shows, and just that raw hunger for doing better. Thank you SEVENTEEN brothers for always working hard, its my favourite thing about you! And thanks Seventeen for bringing them back haha twinning

Joshua's love for Sunday Morning is so constant 🤣

everyone can agree that seventeen is not human..they are angels

Dino giving a literal example of of a international reaction is hilarious. He’s too cute❤️

Vernon looks so so elegant and extra handsome 🔥

I can relate to what Coups said like literally I don't remember how the original "sunday morning rain is falling" sounds like anymore, all I can hear is Shua's voice

Seventeen have grown a lot but they are always the same in a way. Just more mature, more comfortable. Thank you Seventeen my days are better with you and your music.

We start with a classic. "Sunday morning rain is falling."

9:50 LMAO LOOK AT MINGHAO'S REACTION TO CHAN'S COMMENT I CANNOT-

S.Coups: Now if I listen to "Sunday Morning" all I can think of Joshua's voice. The original song doesn't come to you.
Me (who never heard such song before met Joshua's iconic "Sunday Morning rain is falling"): *I agree!*

THE VIDEO OF THEM DANCING TO THE DOUGIE IN THE GREEN PRACTICE ROOM LIVES IN MY HEAD RENT FREE

I would say they haven’t changed at all in terms of their passion. They have always been passionate bout their music and art and you can see it from their very first album. Up till today, they are always outdoing their previous albums and it’s just amazing how they are always so humble:)

I am proud to say as a carat that seventeen's humility remained the same throughout the years. They remained grounded inspite of their million sales, sold out concert tours and numerous awards. They didn't let their money and popularity get in their heads and that's one of the many reasons why I love calling myself as their fan. Their friendship is also one of things that made them unique. A bond that reflects their great teamwork and how they support one another's individual success. I am proud of these boys who all have grown to these fine men. I have never regretted being in this fandom. Thank you, SEVENTEEN!

“(laughs) hi im dk”
IM FINE LOL WHYD U ASK ...

8:50 what mingyu said here really touched my heart. i hope they know that through their art, they're being a source of comfort, healing, inspiration, positive energy, warmth, and love

1:20 The way Jeonghan tuck his hair behind his ear. I'm in love.

Dino is so simple minded 🙂❤️❤️he just want to share his experience 🥺😍❣️

SEVENTEEN being the humble people they are

My hope is only for greater things to come for them but at the same time I want them to be able to have fun and be the best version of themselves without much limitations and restrictions. So I hope we carats can work hard to achieve that and protect them in a positive manner.

"A mutually giving and receiving type of relationship."
maybe that's why SEVENTEEN and CARATS are so close and one of the chillest and friendly idol-fandom relationship.

It's been amazing watching them grow from being rookies to one of the most notable kpop acts in the world. They might've thought otherwise but they're exceptional artists noticed by many since debut, enough to be recognized as monster rookies. Looking back to past performances, it's evident how much they've worked hard to keep improving and becoming even better versions of themselves that carats love and support to this day!
To add, I'm always amazed by how grounded they are despite their fame. It's easy to get lost in the fame. However, they always try to remember their roots and use their experiences to become better going forward.
One thing that hasn't changed is the sincerity they express through their music and actions. It seeps through all that they do and it's a joy to experience every time.

6년 전부터 좋아했는데 그 사이 변한 것도 많지만 변하지 않은 것도 많아 그래서 내가 너희를 계속 사랑할 수 있었어 ㅎㅎ 앞으로도 지금까지 그랬던 것처럼 서로만 믿고 가보자는거야~~~

Vernon at the beginning: *presents himself*
Vernon the rest of the interview: 😐

"and we're here with the *other* seventeen for then vs now"
the shade of it all, lol love shua sm

Shua: Sunday morning, rain is falling..! 🎶
Hao: I have a headache

Interviewing Seventeen is the most satisfying to watch because dude they always talk at the same time! 😂 Never a dull interview with Sebongieee. We're so lucky (Carats)!

7:19 Joshua to cover Sunday Morning formally like creating MV and uploading on SVT YT ♡

"We're here with the other Seventeen" 😂 luv that hahaha

I LOVE THAT JUN IS A LITTLE TALKATIVE NOW YAYYYY ♥️
