EP. 03 On An Unfamiliar Road | SEVENTEEN : HIT THE ROAD

It just hurt too see Jeonghan and Seungcheol look so physically tired.

Hearing Seungcheol talking about his anxiety really hits home for me.
Anxiety (disorders) are mental illness. You can’t push the boundaries of a mental illness, you’ll just break down. It’s so easy to hate yourself when you feel like you’re being swallowed by anxiety. You can feel so helpless.
I hope he knows that it isn’t weakness that made him take a step back and recover. He’s unbelievably strong for enduring something like anxiety of that level for so long. He’s strong for having the courage to reconize that he needed to change something and get help. And he’s strong for taking that action to help himself. It’s so hard to be strong when you feel at your weakest.
This goes for everyone. Your physical and mental health should be your #1 priority and you should never feel bad for doing what’s necessary to support your health.
It’s not a race to “cure” yourself either. From personal experience, I know anxiety doesn’t just disappear like that. It’s an ongoing struggle you live through. It’s so important you learn to respect yourself and your boundaries when it comes to your mental thresholds (like stress, anxiety, depression, etc).
I hope he doesn’t blame himself or feel like he’s “done this” to himself. No one chooses to have something like anxiety.
Thank you Seungcheol for allowing yourself to be vulnerable with us, it takes an unbelievable ammount of strength to do such a thing.
You’re an inspiration to many of us, my dear coupsy✨♥️

Coming back after two years makes me realize how tough this time was for them, Coups was mentally drained and stressed while Jeonghan was physically drained and exhausted, the two eldest members not to mention the leader were on break which definitely made the rest of the tour quite difficult for the rest of the members, on the one hand they had to make quick adjustments and some members had to cover up for their absence and on the other hand the two main 'supporters' needed support this time. To make matters worse some of the members came down with the flu like Jun and Woozi while other members were still injured like Seungkwan and his ankle, Wonwoo was also pretty exhausted and fatigued, Joshua was also suffering from headaches and insomnia while Dino had to go to the hospital for acute enteritis. They had to continue performing despite being worried for the sick members or being exhausted or sick themselves. Nothing was going well health-wise and honestly it is kind of relieving that the rest of the tour was canceled due to corona or else everything would have gotten much worse, world tours are insanely exhausting for idols.

As a person who suffers from anxiety herself, i understand him so much. Anxiety is such a destroying monster and he is experiencing this all while being watched by fans and wanting to be an exemple for them. But by opening up about his struggles and being himself, he's showing that he is that exemple and a representation of how life really can be. I love him for that

I wanna take a moment to applaud the SVT STAFFS, not just its crazy how they handle 13 peopleee but also the fact that they really prioritize health, even if it was middle concert, says a lot about how much they really care and love the boys. Pledis 🙌🏽

jeonghan looking like he’s about to cry is breaking my heart :( and he really went and said he’s okay. seungcheol not wanting to cry hurts me as well because he’s invalidating his own emotions, as if he can’t show weaknesses. choi seungcheol, you have always done more than enough. every once in a while, you can break down, realize how much burdens you carry, and not try to be so strong all the time. we know you’re a strong person, but that doesn’t mean you can’t be weak. it is exactly in those moments when we realize you care so much about us, and we love you even more. it is okay to cry seungcheol, we will always stand by you to carry your burdens, and return everything you’ve given us. thank you for being seventeen’s leader and carats’ source of happiness.

승철이가 한번쯤은 이기적이 였으면 좋겠다 항상 어딜가든 리더라는 이유로 혼자 견디고 아파하고 힘들어 하고 항상 세븐틴이 자기 전부라고 말하고 세븐틴 만큼은 지키고 싶다고 습관 처럼 말하는 승철이가 너무 안타깝다 26 아직 어리다면 어릴수도 있고 많다면 많은 나이 일수도 있지만 승철이가 연습생때 부터 얼마나 멤버들 생각하고 데뷔하고 부터는 더 세븐틴이라는 팀과 팬들 생각만 하느라 정작 한번도 자기 고민이나 힘든점을 얘기 한적이 없는거 같다 승철아 너가 리더라서 우리는 참 고맙지만 한번쯤은 우리 말고 너를 먼저 생각해 줬으면 좋겠어

when seungcheol said that "he will take care of the members more than himself" he literally did it. a round of applause for the best leader !

i LITERALLY felt a heartache when he said that he hated himself I swear if he hates himself no one could ever luv themselves; he is so precious but there is always stupid people saying things online. why can't they just stop?

the moment he said “i’m sorry,” i immediately broke down into tears. he doesn’t have to apologize for feeling this way. his health should come before anything else. being in the spotlight must be so stressing for all them. i’m happy that seungcheol was given the opportunity to rest. i’m so glad seventeen trust us enough to talk about things like this.
i really appreciate our leader and the other boys in this group who struggle so hard to show us their passion.

내가 처음 좋아하고 마지막으로 좋아할 아이돌, 세븐틴 리더 승철아. 내가 덕질 생활을 하면서 이토록 서럽게 운 적은 처음인 것 같아. 늘 무대 위에서만 보던 너를 이렇게 보니까 괜히 미안해지더라. 너가 행복해하는 모습만 바래와서 이런 부담감이 생긴 거 아닐까? 나는 왜 너의 이런 마음을 알아채지 못해서 너무너무 미안하고, 또 한 편으로는 고마워. 팬들을 정말 진심으로 사랑하고 아껴하는 게 보여져. 진실된 마음이여서 너무 감동이야. 앞으로 함께할 때, 힘들 때는 쉬고, 울고 싶을 때 울고, 웃고 싶을 때 웃으면서 보내자. 사랑해 승철아. 넌 멋진 아티스트야.

이때는 솔직히 혹독한 스케줄을 잡아서 건강을 소모하게 만든 소속사가 가장 싫었습니다. 투어때 찍은 다큐를 보니 여기저기 아픈 멤버가 참 많았네요 만나는 것도 좋지만 세븐틴의 건강이 캐럿에겐 가장 중요합니다 다시 한번 더 이렇게 우리 소중한 사람들 갈아넣으면 그믄은둔드 플르드스...

the fact that A LOT happened backstage in those concerts after another concert. they must be so tired but they dont want to give up because its their job to perform and they WANT to perform. this opened my eyes to how idols face their realities.

No one:
Not even a single breathing person:
Carats: *tissues and tears*
😭😭😭

It hurts me right thru the core to see S.Coups suffer from anxiety bcos I see myself in him. It's hard, rlly rlly hard but he's a fighter. I'm so proud of him. I'm glad he's all well now and I hope that he'll continue to be healthy now and beyond.

아 진짜 저건 리더를 안해본 사람은 몰라... 진짜 힘들어... 하다못해 한 반 반장만 돼도 힘든데.... 승철이가 얼마나 힘들었을지 공감돼서 진짜 힘드네..ㅠ 승철이 우는데 같이 눈물이 떨어진다...ㅠ

It's always the leaders who mentally have it the hardest and its honestly so heartbreaking. Yet they are always willing to sacrifice themselves for others and I just hope that S.Coups knows that he doesn't have to always put others before himself. For us fans, the members of the group will always come first.

Literally no one:
Meanwhile CARATs: Sobbing with a tissue on their hand

7:31 때 진짜 너무 힘들어보였음... 피곤함과 두려움 때문인지 얼굴이 굳어있었고 민규가 앞에 등지고 툭 쳐주는데도... 동시에 정한이도 뒤돌아서 머리 누르고.... 제발 건강하자 세봉이들 ㅠㅠㅠ 항상 캐럿들을 위하는거 누구보다 캐럿들이 잘아니까 이젠 본인들을 소중히 여겨줬으면!!!

I can’t believe I’m just watching this now, while Seungcheol is on another injury hiatus. I was just watching the clips the other day of him being wheeled through the airport to see the members at Follow to Japan and even join them onstage for a moment, hoping that all that activity wasn’t too taxing and that seeing the members and Carats again was worth it. Please stay safe, our leader 💗💎

My heart hurts seeing Seungcheol like that. And I immediately felt mad when I remembered the things antis said when he had to recuperate due to mental health issues. This is something everyone should see, to know that artists are people too. They should not be treated as objects; even the saying “they dont have the right to feel sad when they chose that path themselves, they should know that it comes with job!”. Their feelings shouldn’t be disregarded like that!
I hope that carats who watched this should also learn not to hate others or give flak because there is always another part of the story that we haven’t seen.
#GetWellScoups #WeWillAlwaysBeHereForYou

At such a young age, he had to mature quickly to fulfill being a leader to Seventeen. As a mental health professional, I applaud what he has done for himself and for Seventeen. Taking time off to take care of your health is very important as it refuels you to give back to those who need you. It's not selfish or imprudent to do so. S. Coups, you don't have to feel apologetic to us fans, we understand and love you and we waited patiently for you to feel better and gain a better footing with yourself. I'm sure your members also understood. Seventeen, please don't feel sorry to ask to take time off to prioritize yourselves.

파이널컷에서 순영이 어깨 나갔을때 그라운드에서 그냥 참고 빨리 나오라고 하는 사람들 몇명 있었는데... 멤버가 쉬어야 하고 힘들어 하면 제발 쉬게 해줍시다 우리

리더라는 압박감, 부담감이 정말 엄청나구나... 승철아 비록 6개월 후 지만 힘내 이제는 괜찮았으면 좋겠어
그 부담감을 멤버와 함께 나눴으면 좋겠어
혼자 다 하려하면 힘들잖아. 그치?

_"I shouldn't be feeling like this."_
There are no "shoulds" when it comes to being human, Seungcheol. No need to apologize for being human. It's okay to feel anxious and worried and pressured, and we are thankful you trusted us enough to express these feelings to us. We are also proud that you chose to heal, and if ever this were to happen again, don't worry about us and prioritize your health. We will support you all the way. ❤️
Two hardworking leaders in one day. (And even Jeonghan too.) Pledis really plans to make me cry today, huh.
The "KIM MINGYUUU!!" part made me grin though. These dorks are capable of making me feel warm, sad, proud, and happy in one episode.

As a leader myself, I slightly understand his struggles. There is a sense of responsibility that you always have to be physically there for your team, and that sense of responsibility sometimes comes from not the team but yourself. Having to step away or stop doing stuff with your team is the hardest decision a leader can make even if it is necessary. I also want to thank Mingyu for asking if Coups was okay. As a leader, you would expect yourself to always care for your team and sometimes that drains you. Having a teammate asking if you are okay is the best source of comfort and acknowledgement. Acknowledgment that, hey you’re a leader, but you can lean on me too.

Scoups is such a strong man. Years later from this, now He's healed from his ACL surgery and is gonna perform soon at the concert after a few days. He had good rest, he recovered very fast. I think of him saying "ik you will love me even if I'm not perfect!", he believes in us. He knows he's loved. I hope we altogether can make coups comeback very welcoming and supportive. Please be nice to coups and give him all the love!

어쩌면 지금 이 시기가 승철이에게는 다행이라는 생각이 들기도 해서.. 본인이 안정이 됬다고 하지만 또 갑자기 많은 사람들을 만나면 불안해질수도 있기에 관객없이 공연하는 지금이 승철이에게 더 나아질수있는 단계처럼 생각된다ㅠㅠ 물론 이시국이 좋은 건 아니지만 승철이 건강을 중점으로 두고 보면 정말 다행이란 생각 뿐..

Leader Cheol is worried in many reason because he is the leader but always remember that without you the group is not complete, no one will lead the whole group into the right direction. Always remember that what you do is for the best of the group and that you are not making us feel so down. You always do the best so don't think that what you are doing is not reaching our expectations. We love you all for everything you do♡ [Seeing you and Hany so down and can't attend the concert is making carats being broken so please always look after your health♡]

seventeen intro : *everyone smile*
but behind their smile , there also have sadness and pain that we dont know . so as a carats , lets make them happy . Dont leave them . promise ?

Seungcheol really deserves the world. He does everything for his team and that sometimes makes him have to sacrifice his own health. Not to mention the immense stress of just living life with anxiety. He is a strong person.

we should never forget, this is just a 0.01% of their struggles and pains
They hide 99.9 from us 😞

When I saw Jeonghan like that it broke my heart. He looks like he is crying but still saying that he's ok...
Edit: I didn't think I would get this much likes thank you, fam...

seventeen: **uploads new episodes of svt: hit the road**
me: *preparing my tissues, about to play ‘dont wanna cry’ on my spotify, preparing my lightstick, changing into my ot13 shirt*

아이돌여서 멋진거 뿐만아니라 최승철이라는 사람 에스쿱스이라는 사람이 멋져요 최승철이라는 사람은 아이돌이 아닌 그냥 일반 사람으로 멋지고
에스쿱스는 아이돌 이자 리더이자 둘다 사랑을 받을 가치 자신이 얼마나 대단하는지 아는 사람으로서 멋져요.

쿱스오빠 오빠는 아마 세븐틴의 리더라는 아주 무거운 타이틀을 달고 있고 아마 부담감도 있을테고 힘든 점도 있을테고 그러겠지. 하지만 세븐틴의 리더 에스쿱스 이기 전에 최승철 이라는 한 사람이니깐 제발 오빠 몸 건강을 먼저 생각좀 해줬으면 좋겠어,,, 오빠가 행복하고 건강한게 우리들에게는 그게 더 행복이니깐!!❤️

CHOI SEUNGCHEOL BEST LEADER BEST BOY

Before getting to know Seventeen: they have too much of members
After getting to know Seventeen:
I can't imagine Seventeen without all 13 members full team
I'M NOT CRYING
I'M NOT

솔직히 불안감 나도 느껴봐서 쿱스오빠가 어떤 느낌인지 너무 공감된다 새로운도전이나 낯선것에 대한 불안감이 아니라 원래 하던일이고 주어진 역할이나 책임도 있어서 더 불안했을꺼야 속으로는 내가 지금 불안하고 힘들고 휴식이 필요하다느걸아는데 멈추면 주변사람들한테 피해가 갈까봐 애써 겉으로 괜찮은척하고 혼자 버티려고하는데 그 마음이 너무 짠하면서도 어떻게든 맡은 책임에 끝까지 최선을 다하는 마음씨가 너무 곱다 연말에 쉬면서 하던일을 안하고 오히려 보고만 있으니까 더 낯설었을꺼야 그래서 빨리 극복하고 돌아왔겠지 불안증세는 그렇게 단기간에 회복되는게 아닐텐데 다 괜찮아졌다고 생각해도 가끔씩 심박수빨라지고 손도 떨리고 호흡곤란도 오는게 불안감이라는건데 힘들면 언제든 쉬어도되고 언제든 기다려줄수있으니까 힘내요 내 최애 에스쿱스❤ 당신의 앞날을 응원합니다

In a group, even though your bias is not the leader nor your bias wrecker, They will always have a big place in your heart. It hits different when the leader is crying, when the leader is tired , when the leader is injured and when the leader is absent.
APPRECIATION POST FOR SVT LEADER-NIM S.COUPS.
CHOI SEUNGCHEOL.
A man of many talents. A man of responsibility. A man of Confidence but also a man of humbleness. A man who look the members with so much Joy and love in his eyes. He who put his members first before himself. The man who raised 12 boys into fine men. The man who leads the self-producing and million-seller group. BEST LEADER INDEED!💙
There is no clip where Seungcheol cried that I didn't cry. 😭

“since im the leader, i thought i should hold on until i can push the limit”
first, thank you, for always responsible and for always do your best💛
but remember, you are our family too, thus none of us want you to push yourself to the limit too hard🥺
and before a family, you are yourself. not just a leader and a member of our family. so, please dont be too hard on yourself. we’ll understand that things can be hard sometimes🖤
you may be a leader, but other member and us, carats, will always have your back✨🖤

The hardships he has to go through as a leader truly shows how much he cares about the members. He cares more for the members than he does for himself and that broke my heart. I’m so happy he found strength in himself again and became stronger

승철이가 대단한건 단순히 아이돌 그룹의 리더라서가 아니라 아직 가치관이나 자아가 확고하게 정립되지 않은 어린나이때부터, 자기보다 더 어린 12명의 아이들을 이끌어야 하는 리더역할을 10년가까이 해왔기때문... 얼마나 힘들었을지 아마 승철이 아니면 아무도 정확하게는 모를거야. 진짜 늘 고맙고 든든해. 승철이가 잘 해줘서 세븐틴이 계속 갈 수 있었던거라 생각해!
무대가 좋은 이유가 무대위에서는 리더라는 느낌이 안들어서라니... 너에게 얼마나 무겁고 고통스러운 짐이었을까 싶어서 눈물이 나더라.
공황장애는 흠도 아니고, 잘못도 아니야. 그동한 어려운 위치에서 최선을 다한 너의 상황에서는 어쩌면 당연한 과정일지 몰라. 그럼에도 무너지지 않고 계속 노력해줘서 고마워. 승철이가 행복했으면 좋겠다. 진심으로.

When he said "I'm sorry" I burst into tears,, he shouldn't have to apologize anxiety is not his fault

honestly watching him started crying really hurts me and tears my eyes. he has a huge responsibility and he take it sincerely, he is very responsible even when an anxiety came to him without he himself realizing it. even he felt guilty and apologized to us since he thought he disappointed us..
being a leader is hard, ofc it's not easy. especially now that svt is a big groups. remember he is a maknae in his family make me think that he is a best leader. the fact he is indeed a best leader. we must protect him at all costs.

I know Seungcheol won't see this but in case if he does, I want him to know that he is so so loved. He is the best leader any carat or member of seventeen could ask for. He works so hard to make all of us happy and make sure we're all ok. But, Cheol, you need to take care of yourself. We worry about you as much as you worry about us and it hurts me to see you like this. I want you to know that whether you are on or off stage, we love you and want you to be ok. Don't be hard on yourself. I hope you find strength and courage in all of this and know that you need to take care of yourself as much as you do others. It's ok to not be ok, but it's not ok to not do anything about it. We love you so much and look forward to seeing you in the future.
Love, a fellow carat

보면 볼수록 더 마음이 아프다 승철아 너무 고마워 충분히 잘 하고있으니까 힘들면 언제든지 얼마든지 쉬어도 돼 우리는 누구보다 너네 건강이 더 중요하고 평생 무슨 일이 있어도 사랑하고 곁에 남을 자신있어 행복했으면 좋겠다 너무너무 힘들 때 오빠와 세븐틴이 나를 다시 살게해줬고 그냥 세븐틴을 통해 이런 나한텐 과분할정도 많은 희망과 힘을 얻었어 다른 사람들은 어떻게 연예인으로부터 그런 힘을 얻는게 가능하냐고 하지만 나는 이거 진심이었어 나는 그냥 세븐틴 에스쿱스의 삶 뿐만이 아니라 그냥 사람 최승철의 삶도 나보다 훨씬 행복했으면 하는 바램이야 그만큼 나보다 훨씬 가치있고 그 누구보다 오빠와 세븐틴이 소중하니까 우리 오래보자 늘 변함없이 이 자리에서 응원하고 있을테니까 행복해줘

사랑하니까 니가 아파하는 모습이 싫었고
사랑하니까 알아야하는 부분이겠지
우울증이 왔었어, 나한테 너무 힘들었지
노래를 듣고 매일 밤을 그렇게 울었어 숨죽여서
그러 너는 내 유일한 버팀목이었고 숨통이었지
고마워, 곁에 있어줘서 함께해줘서

“Anyone can lose their way. All you need is the courage to walk the unfamiliar and daunting path again.” they couldn’t have ended this with better words. Vulnerability and sadness are human features that we don’t like and don’t want to feel but it happens. But anyone can overcome anything if they really want to! Being leader of such a huge team takes it with you and that is why my respect for Coups grew even more when he announced his hiatus. Being able to admit that you are not feeling right is courageous, especially when you are supposed to be the one who ‘shouldn’t’ feel this way. All great leaders endure hardships and feel defeated at times but the real challenge is to overcome it and come back stronger than ever. S.Coups and SEVENTEEN, you guys are in our hearts and minds. Thank you for everything. Stay healthy and happy!

Everyone:
GoSe:Laughing and Happy
Hit the road:Crying and sad

승철이 영상은 시작부터 눈물이 나네.. 세븐틴이라는 그룹을 좋아한지 얼마 안돼서 이 영상을 이제야 보게됐는데.. 나는 전혀 몰랐던 사실이라 조금 놀랬고 미안하고 고맙고 걱정이 되네. 오히려 이번에 코로나가 승철이에게 시간과 쉼을 준 것 같아서 한편으로는 다행이라는 생각도 들구.. 우린 항상 그 자리에서 기다리고 있을테니까 천천히 와주라

항상 웃음을주고 희망을 줬던거같은데 서럽게 우는걸 보니까 더 미안해지네..리더라는게 정말 힘들지만 이렇게 넘어지고버티고 일어나고를 반복하지만 캐럿들을 위해서 항상 노력해줘서 고마워...물론 캐럿들이랑 멤버들을 아끼고 좋은모습만 보여주려고해서 그랬겠지만 그게 쿱스한테는 좋지않았나봐..가끔은 힘들면 좀 멤버들에게 기대고 쉬어갔으면 좋겠다...진짜 고생많이했어 항상 응원하고 고마워! 아프고 힘들어도 캐럿들 보고 억지로라도 웃고 괜찮은 모습 보여줘서 항상 고맙지만..이렇게 만든게 우리인거 같아서 더 미안하네..많이 힘들면 쉬었다 다시와도돼...캐럿들은 항상 기다리고있을게!!

It’s not a documentary about SEVENTEEN overcoming their struggles anymore, it’s a picture of what they’re struggling with right now

thank you seventeen for being so brave in being vulnerable to us🥺

seungcheol is an amazing leader and an amazing person. you can tell how much he loves being on stage, performing, being with his members, and being around carats. you could also tell how much he didn't want to be a burden to everyone by still trying to perform even though he wasn't in the best condition. but anxiety is a real thing and it can affect any person, and he happened to face it. i felt bad whenever he said that since he's the leader, he thought that he should hold on until he can push his limits. although that can be a great mindset, it's also a burden and can really take a toll on you. in addition, you can genuinely feel the love he has for us: "It was frustrating not being able to apologize to each fan who waited and came to see us." i mean, can't even IMAGINE how devastated he must've felt during his hiatus because he couldn't be with seventeen like normal. seungcheol, don't be mad at yourself and you absolutely do NOT need to apologize. you're human and you are allowed to feel this way and your problems are just as valid as anyone else's.

seeing Coups talking about his anxiety and his feelings about himself when he had to left the concert just hit me so hard cause I know exactly the feeling of being sorry and hating yourself for such thing. it's hard for us to remember/accept that we don't have to be perfect, that we don't have to apologize for being anxious.
I see myself in him in these times, and he's one of the people I admire the most in this whole world, if not the most himself.

7:24 그럼에도 끝까지 버텨보자 했던 모습이 너무 짠하고 멋있고... 그냥 건강하게 오래보고싶다

I'm so, so proud of Seungcheol, and I never want him to feel like he's let us down or anything like that because of his hiatus. He had to take time to rest and recoup and look after himself, and that's absolutely fine! His health (mental and physical) should always be the main priority. I really appreciate him speaking up about his anxiety. It's such a common thing that's not really spoken about (particularly in asian culture), and I admire him so much for being so candid about his struggles. I love this man to pieces. Choi Seungcheol best boy :')

My heart’s so heavy when Cheol talked about his anxiety. We all know it’s not easy, especially talking bout it for the public to see. I wish he never gets frustrated or pressured to the point it ruins his mental health because he’s scared we’ll get disappointed. Plus seeing the other members face full of worry brought me to tears. Fighting, SEVENTEEN! Thank you so much for all the hard work and efforts you put on for CARATS! ♥️

it hurts the most when he says that he hated himself so much. it hurts because i know how, no matter how many people would tell him how loved he is, in this state nothing can make you believe it. and it hurts to know he went through that, experienced that pain. anxiety and depression are the two things i hope no one gets, because it's so ugly, it hurts so much, no physical pain can compete.

i have anxiety too and what seungcheol said hit hard. it comes when you least expect it. then you think that you've become this burden to everyone and have never ending thought spirals. it's frustrating because you think to yourself that it's in your own head and that you just need to change the way you think. the hardest part is that it's not visible like other health conditions.

As someone who has severe anxiety and paranoia I can totally relate to seongcheol. I had a hard time going back on stage after an anxiety attack. I just couldn’t do anything against it. But as I took time to ensure myself that I am able to go on stage again and that I can’t let my team down, I just felt responsible. If I don’t go back on stage, I will ruin everything, I thought to myself. After that performance I took a break for about 3 months. I couldn’t go outside and socialize or even go get groceries,it was that bad. But my friends always called me and tried to find a way to get me outside of my home. And through them I could overcome my fear and I can now go back on stage again.
Thank you seongcheol for opening up and don’t be scared to express your feelings. It takes a lot of courage to be talking about this sensitive topic and I am so happy that you’re in a much happier place. Seventeen and Carats are so proud of you to be the leader of the team. I hope you find comfort in something or somebody while performing, I’ve found mine through seeing familiar faces like my team.
Take the time you need and don’t blame yourself for things you can’t control.
We will love and support you no matter what.
Lots of love, Moon

Scoups has me crying 😭😭 At the same time Scoups took a hiatus because of anxiety, I was also dealing with anxiety at the time. I hated the way I was feeling and I tried to endure it. Finally after Seventeen releasing fear the lyrics “someone tell me what should I do” helped me. Scoups went and got help and realized he was not okay. This helped me be brave and get help. Thank you Scoups for helping me have courage. I hope you are doing better and I love you!💎❤️

힛 더 로드가 정말 도움이 된거같아요 승철이가 속마음도 털어놓고 애들이 힘든것도 알으니까 뭔가 미안해지고 더 좋아할수있게 되는거 같아요 정말 감사합니다

승철아 좋아하던 무대 두렵게 해서 미안해 무대 못 올라가도 항상 응원해 다치지만 말고 힘들 땐 쉬어가도 되니까 너무 무리하지 않았으면 좋겠어 진짜 지금 생각해보면 항상 세븐틴 멤버로써 총괄리더로써 맏형으로써 세븐틴 멤버들만 신경 써왔던 나날들.. 26세는 어리면 어리고 어른스러웠으면 어른스러웠을 나이.. 지금까지 세븐틴 맏형으로써 멤버로써 총괄리더로써 견뎌줘서 고마워 푹 쉬었으면 좋겠다.. 우는 모습 보면서 어린 아이가 얼마나 마음 속에 많은 것들을 담아놓았을까.. 지금까지 너무 힘들었는데 어떻게 견뎌줬을까.. 우리한테 좀 더 기대고 이기적인 승철이가 되었으면 좋겠어 남들 시선 신경쓰지 않고 서로만 믿고 가자.. 남들이 뭐라 해도 세븐틴은 세븐틴이고 캐럿은 캐럿이야 함께 힘내자

EVERYONE REPEAT AFTER ME
SCOUPS BEST LEADER

I'm so glad Seungcheol took that time for himself, and I'm so glad that he feels comfortable coming back to the stage now. But here's the thing, if he has to choose between his mental health and being a member of Seventeen, I would much rather him choose his mental health. Would I be sad to see him leave? Absolutely. It would break my heart. But at least I would know that somewhere out there he was doing his best to be happy. I would be glad to know that, even though I could no longer see him, he was alive and well. As a fan of SHINee, I've seen what happens when someone I look up to keeps themselves in the spotlight despite it tearing them apart. I've seen what happens when someone throws themselves away for the sake of their career, and I never want to see that happen again. It scares me so much to think that it could possibly happen to one of these boys. So yes, if it comes down to staying a member of Seventeen at the cost of his mental wellbeing, I would much rather see Seungcheol walk away from the group. Better to live well out of the spotlight than to die in it. I care for him far more as a person as a whole than as just an artist.

아프면 쉬고 힘들면 안 해도돼 아무도 뭐라고 하루사람 없어ㅠㅠㅠㅠ 진짜 얘들 다 힘들어보인다 리더라는 이유만으로 부담갖을 필요없어ㅠㅠㅠㅠ 진짜 해외투어 일정좀 적당히 잡지

2:03 they're arranged according to the year they were born right? wow!! and their formation is in diamond shape wooow! this just proves that they are all really meant for each other

I will tell one thing: I am REALLY REALLY Proud of these boys. To come out like that, saying what is/was troubling openly, even to your family or friends is difficult. Let alone to all, literally.
Thank you SCoups-si, it's very brave of you. *Warm hugs from many🤗😸🤗😸*
EDIT: And SCoups-ssi, that's NOT running away. That's understanding what you were feeling, admitting it to yourself and others, finding a solution, and taking care of yourself. That's being very human, bro 😉😸

my heart broke when scoups cried and said that mingyu checked up on him and then it showed a clip of the other members that showed that they were worried about him and about jeonghan too.
this shows how they really love each other and that they are more than just coworkers, they are family.
as a leader, we know that it could be hard and there will be hardships in the end because you have to stay strong and lead the team and not break down. i have so much respect for coups, one of the best leaders.

우리 승철이... 울지마ㅠㅠㅠ 승철이는 있는 그대로 최고야!! 건강이 제일 중요하고 너가 행복한게 우리 캐럿들한텐 제일 중요해ㅠㅠ

못보겠어서 미루고 미루다가 어제 캐랜 승철이 말 듣고 무슨 일이 있던건가 싶어서 봤는데... 투어 중단된게 천만 다행이라는 생각이 드네요... 중단 안됐으면 멤버들 몸 상태가 얼마나 최악이 됐을지... 올해 또 투어 한다는데 진짜 너무 걱정된다.... 영상 속 정한이랑 승철이 상태가 너무 충격적인데요...

리더니까..맞형이니까....이 생각 땜에 부담감도 많았을 테도..많이 아프고..해도 참는 쿱스..보면서 너무 맘이 아프다....
정한이도..팀내에서 형이니까..끝까지 참고...이어가려고..노력하고..하는 모습 보기..힘들어...얘들아..힘들면 말해도 되...

i wish scoups weren't angry at himself from taking a break. it rly broke my heart to hear that. like all of us, he is only human and must listen to his body. if anyone feels unwell, anxious, it is brave to acknowledge these things in order to take care of urself. you will still build strength. you will still build perseverance. taking a break is not weak or cowardly. it shows you are not undermining urself and that better things will come.

You know what s.coups you can ugly cry, and let the emotions come out. I still remember the day few months ago, there were few weeks left for my results to come and I always tried to say to myself marks don't matter, it's fine if I even fail, and i am considered as a not so bothered person, going on their life smoothly, so this exam is the first most important exam in our country which is held on a national basis and it's start of the actual journey, and many of my classmates floundered against the stress, changed completely, I just withstood the pressure and said that I don't need to worry, it will be fine, the whole year I could not exceed more than 93% and I was considered a brilliant child and I felt like I didn't live up-to the expectations and I just said to myself it will be fine I am a strong person, fast forward to before results, I was joking with my family and suddenly the convo changed, I literally changed from joking to ugly crying, my mother had never seen that side of me because I was never a marks oriented person but yes I was lying to myself the whole year that I can withstand the pressure but I couldn't and I never feared punishment but I always feared expectations. And I know you also feel the same seungcheol, he knows that he is not gonna lose anything technically if he doesn't do his best at one concert but he fears the expectations, so many people came just to see him, just to listen him. And what hurts the most not the curses from haters but just that little sigh of unsatisfaction from your loved ones.
The fact you came back stronger that is all we want, maybe unconsciously only I would have also put expectations and I am sorry for that. Let's stay together in the ups and downs of life.

scoups your the best leader forever, always healthy and happy, we love you and suport for you

S. Coups' backstory was the one I was anticipating the most. We all knew what was going on, but to hear him actually open up and talk about it takes a lot of strength and courage. I was tearing up the whole video, but I really broke down when he said he hated himself for feeling that way. I think we all can relate to him in some way.. the pressure of school, the pressure of our jobs/careers, the pressure of money to provide for ourselves/family, and so on. We probably have all been at a point where we want to keep pushing and keep striving, but in the back of our mind, we know we're not mentally okay. It becomes a conflicting feeling.
What happened to S.Coups had happened to me. I was working so much and I was mentally tired, but I kept pushing myself despite all the anxiety and stress. It got to the point where I wasn't happy and that's when I knew that my job was not worth my mental health. I ended up leaving my job and like S. Coups, I took a break from life to focus on my mental health again. And I encourage all you carats to do the same as well whenever you feel like you're in that position. *Nothing is ever worth your mental health.* Whatever you are going through, it will pass and you will heal as long as you put in the effort for yourself.

승철아 :)
그때 무대 빠지는걸 너가 "도망쳤다"고 표현했는데... 난 너가 그렇게 생각하지 않았으면 해... 나는 너가 자신이 필요한 쉼을 가진거라고 나중에의 무대를위해 이런 선택을 했다고 생각했어... 다행이도 그한동안의 쉼이 있기에 너는 더 건강해진 모습으로 우리한테 돌아왔잖아... 나는 그게 참다행이고 그동안 노력해준 너한테는 너무 고마울 뿐이야.... 진짜 고마워...너무 많이 고마워 승철아~ 앞으로 더 행복하고 건강한 모습로 많이 보자~~ 보고싶고 사랑해 :) 💕

8:43 our two sunshine in one frame

리더로서 13명 이끌때 책임감과부담감도 많고 아플때도 세븐틴모두 그렇지만 캐럿을 위해서 모든걸 쏟아부워줘서 고맙고 그렇지만 항상 건강이 먼저니까 건강챙기면서 해줘요ㅜ 오빠 항상 고마워요❤️

우리 리더...진짜 우리 쿱스 수고를 타자로치기에는
내 엄지 손가락이 남아나지 않을거같아ㅋㅋ
쿱스도 너무 어렸을 연습생때부터 리더라는 책임감과 함께 정말 많은 수고해줘서 그저 너무 고마워.
너가 없었으면 지금의 세븐틴도 없다는거 꼭 기억해줬으면해.이제 아프지 말고 항상 행복하기만 하자 사랑해💞💎

This hits differently when you saw him look tired, heard his voice getting weaker, and his body is about to fall apart on stage yourself...I might be looking from far away, but thanks to you, I can actually see all of you so well...Seungcheol, even just for a little while, thank you for showing up and giving your all. Please take care....

Until today, when I came to KPOP concert, I can only choose the back seatt bcs I have not enough money. When I heard Seungcheol said, "We can't see ppl from here (back seat), we need to take care of them too"--- then I lost my shit.
Then, when the video reach the end, I read the last phrase that "people can lose their way". From there, I know this episode is the death of me.

승철아 지금은 나아져서 활동도 하고 있긴 하지만 너가 리더로써 힘내고 있는 것도 캐럿들 모두가 잘 알고 있고 잘 하고 있는거긴 하지만 너가 안 아프고 건강한게 우선이야 멤버들도 걱정을 하긴 해야하지만 일단 나부터 챙기는 것도 좋은 것 같아 그리고 너가 너무 미안해 하지 않아도 되는게 아픈건 어쩔 수 없는거고 이제 이렇게 돌아 왔잖아? 그러니까 진짜 앞으로는 아프지 말고 건강만 해줘 알았지? 진짜 사랑해❤

Last time I was this early, Wonwoo wasn’t my friend yet 😂

Seungcheol has have to endured in order to not let down the rest of the boys and the fandom and it's really amazing how much he has held onto, it breaks my heart to see him being in so much pain and also rethinking about what if his actions or just not feeling well will affect the rest of the members. Thank you so much for the efforts you've made Seongcheol carats will always give all the love we get from you back not one or two but thousand more times. You are worthy, good enough and so very loved ♡♡♡ seventeen has definitely the best leader

이렇게 찾아보지 않았을때도 마음이 참 따신 멤버라고 생각해따.... 말을 할 때 참 따뜻하단 생각이 든다 승철... 당신 너무 다정해... / 전체를 보는 면이 진짜 리더답다 / 건강하게 오래 함께합시다요...

Gosh, just crying. S.coups saying he "ran away" when he just needed to take care of himself just really broke my heart. I hope he has been able to forgive himself for what he sees as his failure here, and has been able to heal with the support of the members and fans. I hope this current tour was a healing process for him as well.

As someone who also suffers from an anxiety disorder I totally understand what he is going through. The way he seems to think his struggles are not valid was the way I used to think about my anxiety. Everyone kept telling me that it was just stress, that everyone goes through this so I started to believe them. I didn't took my disorder seriously even though deep down I knew it was real, because the people that I trusted the most were telling me it was all just inside my head. Untill it became even worst to the point I was scared of everything. Scared of falling asleep, scared of getting up. Scared of going to school, scared of going back home. Scared to meet people on my way, and scared of the people passing by me in the street. It really affected me, and ever since I've been dealing with a Generalized Anxiety Disorder that slowly transformed into depression. This got me feeling paralyzed to a point I would have never imagined. Just like S.Coups it has been hard and it is everyday getting even harder.
The way Seungcheol speaks, you can actually hear the pressure he is putting on himself. The same pressure many of us are putting on ourselves. He is truly sad, and unlike many people think THIS IS NOT HIS FAULT. The fact that he is doing his best to heal can be really tricky with anxiety, because you get anxious about the fact that you might not succeed. So even though you are doing your best, you still get stuck inside that vicious circle. I hope we Carats can support our leader the best that we can. Forgive him when he's feeling too down and anxious to go on stage. Support him when he opens up about his struggles. And love him because he makes us happy, despite everything he is dealing with. 😭❤️
S.Coups we love you, let's fight against this together ❤️💕

Words cannot express my love for this documentary and Seventeen. 💎
Edit: Also Pledis is uploading these episodes so fast without letting us finish 😭😂
Edit 2: I’m so glad our leader is back and I’m so sad that he and all the members suffered for us. I hope the take care of themselves. 💙😞

나는 더 어리지만 26살도 어린 나이이고
21살,15년도에 데뷔하고 리더가 된 승철오빠
나는 오빠가 좋아요. 항상 공연을 위하고
팬들을 생각해주고 멤버들을 생각해줘서 고마워요
울 때 너무 마음이 아프다..항상 무리하지말고 아프지말고 건강만 해줘요. 힘들면 1년,2년 쉬고 와도 돼
항상 사랑해요❤😊

이 영상을 몇번이나 되돌아 보는지 모르겠다,, 나도 내가 가장 불안함과 두려움을 느끼는 이 시점에, 항상 새벽인 이 시간에 잠들지 못해서 해뜨고 자는 이 시점에 세븐틴이라는 그룹에 관심을 갖게됐어 태어나서 덕질이라는 걸 처음 해봐서 뭘 어떻게 해야될지 몰라서 연습생때 영상부터 쭉 올라오면서 보다 이 영상을 봤는데 마음이 너무 아프다 세븐틴이라는 그룹을 너무 늦게 알아서 미안할만큼 그치만 내가 가장 힘든 이 시점에 세븐틴이라는 그룹은 날 웃게해줬어 고마워 많이 캐럿들 생각해주는 건 너무 너무 좋지만 그래도 자기 자신이 가장 먼저라는거, 건강도 최고라는거 !! 지금부터라도 앞으로 더 오랜시간을 응원할게요 항상 고마워요 💎💖💙💕

he’s one of the best leader in the world, and of course the best leader for carat❤️, being a leader is not an easy task and im glad we have someone like you, im glad to be a part of our carat family, you didn’t have to suffer from all of those bad things :( we really mean when we say thankyou and we love you, we love you to the moon and back , let’s have fun again when all of this pandemic done! we love you❤️

The moment he said "I'm sorry" I just started to cry like I wish I could do something for him and protect him from everything that he has gone through like he deserves to be happy and enjoy being on stage with his members 😭😭😭 I really love this man and I hope he is feeling good now and he can do what he loves the most being on stage as Seventeen leader💜

너무나도 맑고 이쁜 너라서 더 미안해져 먼저 알지 못해 미안하고 그걸 속상해 하는 널 보니 더 미안해져...얼마나 힘들었을까 너가 힘들었을거만 생각하면 마음이 아려와.. 무대를 사랑하던 너였기에 무대를 무서워하게된 너를 보니 내가 더 두렵더라 내 삶의 빛이자 희망 승철아 고마워 다시 돌아와줘서 나는 너가 다시 돌아온것만으로도 행운이라고 생각해 처음 너가 활동을 쉰다고 했을때 내 억장이 무너지던 날이 아직도 생생해 하지만 이렇게 밝은 승철이로 돌아와서 정말 다행이야 언제나 너의 곁에 있을게 사랑해 승철아 그리고 고마워

2:44 it's so funny how mingyu had to wear that apron cause he was wearing a white shirt while eating cause he's probably clumsy and gonna spill the food onhis shirt 🤣

seeing jeonghan like that made me want to cry
he looks like he's about to break down any second and I just want to magically telleport there and hug him :(

seungcheol is the one who got me into svt, he's such an angel. i'm crying again.

His eyes are telling the story with him, I wish he knew that he didn’t have to push himself so much

8:07 when he said "ah I thought that I did everything I can do here" this broke me so much
