An excerpt characterizing Seventeen (group)

Rostov, not wanting to impose his acquaintance on the princess, did not go to her, but remained in the village, waiting for her to leave. Having waited for Princess Marya's carriages to leave the house, Rostov sat on horseback and accompanied her on horseback to the path occupied by our troops, twelve miles from Bogucharov. In Yankov, at the inn, he said goodbye to her respectfully, allowing himself to kiss her hand for the first time.
“Aren’t you ashamed,” he answered Princess Marya, blushing, to the expression of gratitude for her salvation (as she called his action), “every police officer would have done the same.” If only we had to fight with the peasants, we would not have allowed the enemy so far away,” he said, ashamed of something and trying to change the conversation. “I’m only happy that I had the opportunity to meet you.” Farewell, princess, I wish you happiness and consolation and I wish to meet you at more happy conditions. If you don't want to make me blush, please don't thank me.
But the princess, if she did not thank him in more words, thanked him with the whole expression of her face, beaming with gratitude and tenderness. She couldn't believe him, that she had nothing to thank him for. On the contrary, what was certain for her was that if he had not existed, she would probably have died from both the rebels and the French; that, in order to save her, he exposed himself to the most obvious and terrible dangers; and what was even more certain was that he was a man with a high and noble soul, who knew how to understand her situation and grief. His kind and honest eyes with tears appearing on them, while she herself, crying, talked to him about her loss, did not leave her imagination.
When she said goodbye to him and was left alone, Princess Marya suddenly felt tears in her eyes, and here, not for the first time, she was presented with a strange question: does she love him?
On the way further to Moscow, despite the fact that the princess’s situation was not happy, Dunyasha, who was riding with her in the carriage, more than once noticed that the princess, leaning out of the carriage window, was smiling joyfully and sadly at something.
“Well, what if I loved him? - thought Princess Marya.
Ashamed as she was to admit to herself that she was the first to love a man who, perhaps, would never love her, she consoled herself with the thought that no one would ever know this and that it would not be her fault if she remained with no one for the rest of her life. speaking of loving the one she loved for the first and last time.
Sometimes she remembered his views, his participation, his words, and it seemed to her that happiness was not impossible. And then Dunyasha noticed that she was smiling and looking out the carriage window.
“And he had to come to Bogucharovo, and at that very moment! - thought Princess Marya. “And his sister should have refused Prince Andrei!” “And in all this, Princess Marya saw the will of Providence.
The impression made on Rostov by Princess Marya was very pleasant. When he remembered about her, he became cheerful, and when his comrades, having learned about his adventure in Bogucharovo, joked to him that, having gone for hay, he picked up one of the richest brides in Russia, Rostov became angry. He was angry precisely because the thought of marrying the meek Princess Marya, who was pleasant to him and with a huge fortune, came into his head more than once against his will. For himself personally, Nikolai could not wish for a better wife than Princess Marya: marrying her would make the countess - his mother - happy, and would improve the affairs of his father; and even - Nikolai felt it - would have made Princess Marya happy. But Sonya? And this word? And this is why Rostov got angry when they joked about Princess Bolkonskaya.

Having taken command of the armies, Kutuzov remembered Prince Andrei and sent him an order to come to the main apartment.
Prince Andrei arrived in Tsarevo Zaimishche on the very day and at the very time of the day when Kutuzov made the first review of the troops. Prince Andrei stopped in the village at the priest’s house, where the commander-in-chief’s carriage was standing, and sat on a bench at the gate, waiting for His Serene Highness, as everyone now called Kutuzov. On the field outside the village one could hear either the sounds of regimental music or the roar of a huge number of voices shouting “hurray!” to the new commander-in-chief. Right there at the gate, ten steps from Prince Andrei, taking advantage of the prince’s absence and the beautiful weather, stood two orderlies, a courier and a butler. Blackish, overgrown with mustaches and sideburns, the little hussar lieutenant colonel rode up to the gate and, looking at Prince Andrei, asked: is His Serene Highness standing here and will he be there soon?
Prince Andrei said that he did not belong to the headquarters of His Serene Highness and was also a visitor. The hussar lieutenant colonel turned to the smart orderly, and the orderly of the commander-in-chief said to him with that special contempt with which the orderlies of the commander-in-chief speak to officers:
- What, my lord? It must be now. You that?
The hussar lieutenant colonel grinned into his mustache in the same tone as the orderly, got off his horse, gave it to the messenger and approached Bolkonsky, bowing slightly to him. Bolkonsky stood aside on the bench. The hussar lieutenant colonel sat down next to him.
– Are you also waiting for the commander-in-chief? - the hussar lieutenant colonel spoke. – Govog”yat, it’s accessible to everyone, thank God. Otherwise, there’s trouble with the sausage makers! It’s not until recently that Yeg “molov” settled in the Germans. Now, maybe it will be possible to speak in Russian. Otherwise, who knows what they were doing. Everyone retreated, everyone retreated. Have you done the hike? - he asked.
“I had the pleasure,” answered Prince Andrei, “not only to participate in the retreat, but also to lose in this retreat everything that was dear, not to mention property and home... a father who died of grief. I am from Smolensk.
- Eh?.. Are you Prince Bolkonsky? It’s great to meet: Lieutenant Colonel Denisov, better known as Vaska,” said Denisov, shaking Prince Andrei’s hand and peering into Bolkonsky’s face with especially kind attention. “Yes, I heard,” he said with sympathy and, after a short silence, continued : - Here is the Scythian war. This is all hog"osho, but not for those who take the rap with their own sides. And you are Prince Andgey Bolkonsky? - He shook his head. “It’s very hell, prince, it’s very hell to meet you,” he added again with a sad smile, shaking his hand.
Prince Andrei knew Denisov from Natasha's stories about her first groom. This memory, both sweet and painful, now transported him to those painful sensations that he had not thought about for a long time, but which were still in his soul. Recently, so many other and such serious impressions as leaving Smolensk, his arrival in Bald Mountains, the recent death of his father - so many sensations were experienced by him that these memories had not come to him for a long time and, when they came, had no effect on him. him with the same strength. And for Denisov, the series of memories that Bolkonsky’s name evoked was a distant, poetic past, when, after dinner and Natasha’s singing, he, without knowing how, proposed to a fifteen-year-old girl. He smiled at the memories of that time and his love for Natasha and immediately moved on to what was now passionately and exclusively occupying him. This was the campaign plan he came up with while serving in the outposts during the retreat. He presented this plan to Barclay de Tolly and now intended to present it to Kutuzov. The plan was based on the fact that the French line of operations was too extended and that instead of, or at the same time, acting from the front, blocking the way for the French, it was necessary to act on their messages. He began to explain his plan to Prince Andrei.
“They can’t hold this entire line.” This is impossible, I answer that they are pg"og"vu; give me five hundred people, I will kill them, it’s veg! One system is pag “Tisan.”
Denisov stood up and, making gestures, outlined his plan to Bolkonsky. In the middle of his presentation, the cries of the army, more awkward, more widespread and merging with music and songs, were heard at the place of review. There was stomping and screaming in the village.
“He’s coming himself,” shouted a Cossack standing at the gate, “he’s coming!” Bolkonsky and Denisov moved towards the gate, at which stood a group of soldiers (an honor guard), and saw Kutuzov moving along the street, riding a low bay horse. A huge retinue of generals rode behind him. Barclay rode almost alongside; a crowd of officers ran behind them and around them and shouted “Hurray!”
The adjutants galloped ahead of him into the courtyard. Kutuzov, impatiently pushing his horse, which was ambling under his weight, and constantly nodding his head, put his hand to the cavalry guard’s bad-looking cap (with a red band and without a visor) that he was wearing. Having approached the honor guard of fine grenadiers, mostly cavaliers, who saluted him, he silently looked at them for a minute with a commanding stubborn gaze and turned to the crowd of generals and officers standing around him. His face suddenly took on a subtle expression; he raised his shoulders with a gesture of bewilderment.
- And with such fellows, keep retreating and retreating! - he said. “Well, goodbye, general,” he added and started his horse through the gate past Prince Andrei and Denisov.
- Hooray! hooray! hooray! - they shouted from behind him.
Since Prince Andrei had not seen him, Kutuzov had grown even fatter, flabby and swollen with fat. But the familiar white eye, and the wound, and the expression of fatigue in his face and figure were the same. He was dressed in a uniform frock coat (a whip hung on a thin belt over his shoulder) and a white cavalry guard cap. He, heavily blurring and swaying, sat on his cheerful horse.
“Whew... whew... whew...” he whistled barely audibly as he drove into the yard. His face expressed the joy of calming a man intending to rest after the mission. He took out left leg from the stirrup, falling with his whole body and wincing from the effort, he lifted it with difficulty onto the saddle, leaned his elbow on his knee, grunted and went down into the arms of the Cossacks and adjutants who were supporting him.
He recovered, looked around with his narrowed eyes and, glancing at Prince Andrei, apparently not recognizing him, walked with his diving gait towards the porch.
“Whew... whew... whew,” he whistled and again looked back at Prince Andrei. The impression of Prince Andrei's face only after a few seconds (as often happens with old people) became associated with the memory of his personality.
“Ah, hello, prince, hello, darling, let’s go...” he said tiredly, looking around, and heavily entered the porch, creaking under his weight. He unbuttoned and sat down on a bench on the porch.
- Well, what about father?
“Yesterday I received news of his death,” Prince Andrei said briefly.
Kutuzov looked at Prince Andrei with frightened open eyes, then took off his cap and crossed himself: “The kingdom of heaven to him! May God's will be over us all! He sighed heavily, with all his chest, and was silent. “I loved and respected him and I sympathize with you with all my heart.” He hugged Prince Andrei, pressed him to his fat chest and did not let him go for a long time. When he released him, Prince Andrei saw that Kutuzov’s swollen lips were trembling and there were tears in his eyes. He sighed and grabbed the bench with both hands to stand up.
“Come on, let’s come to me and talk,” he said; but at this time Denisov, just as little timid in front of his superiors as he was in front of the enemy, despite the fact that the adjutants at the porch stopped him in angry whispers, boldly, knocking his spurs on the steps, entered the porch. Kutuzov, leaving his hands resting on the bench, looked displeased at Denisov. Denisov, having identified himself, announced that he had to inform his lordship of a matter of great importance for the good of the fatherland. Kutuzov began to look at Denisov with a tired look and with an annoyed gesture, taking his hands and folding them on his stomach, he repeated: “For the good of the fatherland? Well, what is it? Speak." Denisov blushed like a girl (it was so strange to see the color on that mustachioed, old and drunken face), and boldly began to outline his plan for cutting the enemy’s operational line between Smolensk and Vyazma. Denisov lived in these parts and knew the area well. His plan seemed undoubtedly good, especially from the power of conviction that was in his words. Kutuzov looked at his feet and occasionally glanced at the courtyard of the neighboring hut, as if he was expecting something unpleasant from there. A general with a briefcase under his arm actually appeared from the hut he was looking at during Denisov’s speech.
- What? – Kutuzov said in the middle of Denisov’s presentation. - Ready?
“Ready, your lordship,” said the general. Kutuzov shook his head, as if saying: “How can one person manage all this,” and continued to listen to Denisov.
- I give it honestly noble word of the Gussky official,” Denisov said, “that I am reporting Napoleon’s messages.
- How are you doing, Kirill Andreevich Denisov, chief quartermaster? - Kutuzov interrupted him.
- Uncle of one, your lordship.
- ABOUT! “We were friends,” Kutuzov said cheerfully. “Okay, okay, darling, stay here at headquarters, we’ll talk tomorrow.” - Nodding his head to Denisov, he turned away and extended his hand to the papers that Konovnitsyn brought him.
“Would your lordship please welcome you to the rooms,” the general on duty said in a dissatisfied voice, “we need to consider the plans and sign some papers.” “The adjutant who came out of the door reported that everything was ready in the apartment. But Kutuzov, apparently, wanted to enter the rooms already free. He winced...
“No, tell me to serve, my dear, here’s a table, I’ll take a look,” he said. “Don’t leave,” he added, turning to Prince Andrei. Prince Andrei remained on the porch, listening to the general on duty.

The South Korean boy band “Seventeen” debuted in Korea not long ago, but today it is extremely popular among girls in their country. The guys are distinguished by their clear and strong voices, complex choreography, bright videos and perfectly chosen costumes.

History of creation and composition

A South Korean agency called Pledis Entertainment is considered a professional in finding young talent. The official announcement from this company about the formation of the male group “Seventeen” took place in 2015, but preparations for the appearance of the group began several years before this event. Thus begins the story of the creation of a modern group, which is popular today and has won the hearts of its compatriots.

In 2013, a show of the same name started, the purpose of which was to rehearse the initial cast. Spectators watched the guys train in their rooms, heard drafts of future hits, and watched the team in a relaxed atmosphere. The name “Seventeen” (translated from English - 17) was formed for a reason.

Initially, the show's management planned that the group would consist of 17 people, but not all the guys reached the final triumph, and the name was already well-known among people. In order not to change the name of the group, they decided to veil the figure as follows: 13 participants, 3 groups within a boy band (hip-hop, vocal, performance), 1 group. The result is 17, so we decided to leave it that way.

For 5 seasons, young people were in full view of the audience, during which time each acquired their own army of fans and admirers. Viewers watched their idols on TV, so when the guys began performing in a group, they had no problems with promotion and gaining fame. People were eagerly waiting for the sale of tickets to the concert of their favorite artists to open.

Now the team still consists of 13 people. Their names: Escups, Jeonghan, Joshua, Jun, Hoshi, Wonwoo, Wooji, Dokyeom, Mingyu, Diate, Seungkwan, Vernon, Dino. Vernon is the youngest. From the guy’s biography it is known that when the boy was 5 years old, the family moved to live in South Korea. In addition to Korean, he is fluent in English and knows a little Japanese.

Another participant is June, his close people call him Jerry. Chinese by nationality, he knew little Korean and did not speak English. Because of this, the company's management expressed doubts about the artist's presence in the group. However, the desire for fame contributed to the fact that the young man learned languages ​​in a short time. June loves to read and has been involved in music since childhood, so he can play the piano.

Aescups' real name is Choi Seungcheol. In the group he has the nickname Daddy, since he is the oldest in the band. By the time of his debut, the guy was already 20 years old. Colleagues on the team note his plasticity and phenomenal memory. Therefore, with memorizing songs young man no problems arise.

“Seventeen” member Mingyu stands out from the rest of the guys with his height, which is 186 cm. And since he is in his teens, this is clearly not the limit, and every year he becomes taller, which worries the artist. One day, the group's manager even jokingly said that if the guy didn't stop growing, he would soon have to look for a replacement. He takes the place of the leading rapper in the team.

The team calls Won the most modest colleague. He always takes things seriously and writes poetry in his free time from rehearsals. Joshua, on the other hand, loves attention. If, according to the director's plan, a complex choreographic element needs to be performed, he is the first to volunteer to try, although after this he often walks around with bruises and abrasions.

Uji takes the place of the leading vocalist in the group, and is also a dancer and producer of the group. Jeonghan is the sub-vocalist and face of the group, Hoshi, in addition to being the leader of the sub-group's performances, works with the team as a choreographer. Diate is a dancer, Seungkwan is the main vocalist, and Dino is a rapper and dancer.

Music

The young artists made their debut on stage in May 2015 at MBC Show Champion. However, before the first performance, the young people did not sit idly by. By that time, the guys had prepared their first mini-album called “17 Carat”, as well as a video for the song “Adore U”. The first joint recordings were presented to listeners 2 days after this performance.

In a short period from the start of sales of the album, it took 9th place in the popular American chart Billboard, a week later, moved up another notch and remained in this position for the next 10 weeks. The disc with the songs “Seventeen” became the only one in the K-pop style in the entire history of this chart that made it into the top ten and stayed in the occupied position for such a long time. for a long time.

The guys’ second album, called “Boys Be”, appeared before the audience within 3 months; listeners enjoyed the songs from the new collection in September 2015. At the same time, the guys shot a video for the song “Mansae”. On the first day, 30 thousand people bought the album; at that time it was the best-selling.

Feeling success, already six months after their debut, in December 2015, “Seventeen” gave their first 2 concerts. The excitement around their names was so great that 13 thousand tickets were sold out within a minute, and those who did not manage to purchase them expressed strong indignation about this. In order not to upset fans, the guys decide to organize 2 more concerts in February 2016.

The popularity of the group was growing every day. And soon, in addition to South Korea, Seventeen will perform in other Asian countries. Their first tour took place in 2016. While performing around the chosen route, the guys also sing on the stages of Australia, where they are received no less worthy.

The guys did not stop working for a minute and by the beginning of December 2016 they released their third mini-album “Going Seventeen”. And the first full-length studio disc was recorded even earlier.

The debut album in this sense went on sale in April of the same year. It was called “Love & Letter”, and pre-orders were accepted for it even before sales began. Therefore, before the official release day, we managed to sell 150 thousand copies of it. This allowed the album to take 3rd place in the Billboard top. Simultaneously with the release of the album, the guys presented a video for the song “Pretty U”.

At the end of the same year, the young people recorded a mixtape called “Check-In”, which became the prologue to the album “Going Seventeen”. And at the beginning of 2017, the team held 6 concerts in Japan, during which the guys sold over 50 thousand tickets. In the spring they will present a new album “Al1”, which includes the now popular song “Don"t Wanna Cry”. After this, the group goes on their first world tour.

Fans of the boy band added their second full-length album to their collections in the fall of 2017. The new record, entitled “Teen, Age,” delighted listeners, and soon the guys shot a funny video for the track “Clap.” On February 5, 2018, a video for the track “Thanks” appeared on the “Seventeen” channel, and on the same day the presentation of the special album “Director’s Cut” took place.

"Seventeen" now

"Seventeen" has a profile on "Instagram", where the guys regularly post fresh photos from song recordings, performances and other events. Also on the page, the guys present new albums and announce concerts.

On December 22, 2018, a year-end concert was held in Indonesia for employees of the state-owned energy company Perusahaan Listrik Negara, where employees of the company and members of their families gathered. The stage was set on Tanjung Beach, on the outskirts of western Java.

Suddenly the performance was interrupted by a tsunami wave, which literally washed away the stage along with the equipment and people on it. Both the artists and the concert guests were injured and were swept out to sea. People filmed the performance that evening with their phone cameras; amateur footage shows how the stage first collapses, and then the wave carries people away.

The tragedy occurred at night, some media reported that hundreds of local residents and tourists were killed. Fans of the group “Seventeen” mistakenly decided that the members of the group also suffered from the disaster. However, this information was not confirmed; in Indonesia there is another group with exactly the same name, which was confused with the Koreans.

Now everything is fine with the boy band, the guys feel great and are preparing for new performances.

The Korean “star factory” continues to regularly delight pop music fans. The greatest interest is generated by the work of boy bands aimed at teenage audiences.

Pledis Entertainment

Seventeen is a group of young artists who became popular thanks to the Pledis Entertainment project. This talent agency's list of stars includes famous singer Son Dambi, boy band NU'EST and girl band After School.

Representatives of the label announced the creation of a new team in 2012. The boy band, which was originally planned to have seventeen members, was going to be presented in 2013. The concept involved division into three subgroups focused on Japan, Korea and China.

Preparing for debut

The biography of the Seventeen group began with a reality show. Watching the rehearsals of all team members, the audience managed to choose their favorite performers. This was a well-thought-out move on the part of Pledis Entertainment, because at the time of their debut in 2015, the group already had thousands of fans.

At the very beginning of the show, it became known that not all seventeen young people would be included in the main cast of Seventeen. The group was supposed to consist of thirteen people who, after five seasons of reality, were chosen through audience voting.

Premiere

As we've already said, the label put a lot of thought into Seventeen's debut. The Korean group performed for the first time on May 27, 2015 as part of the MBC Show Champion, two days later the mini-album 17 CARAT and the music video Adore U were presented.

Thanks to the division into three subgroups, each artist was able to show his talents. The Performance team (Hoshi, Dino, Jun and THE8) is responsible for the dance component of the show, there is also Vocal (Joshua, Seungkwan, Jeonghan and Dickey) and Hip Hop(Mingyu, Wonwoo, S.coups and Vernon).

S.coups and Wonwoo

During the reality show, viewers gradually got to know future Seventeen artists. The Korean group, whose songs are known all over the world today, does not consist of newcomers. Leader Choi Seung Cheol, or S.coups, has been involved in several TV shows and music videos.

It's no secret that Seungcheol is the oldest member (he was 20 years old at the time of his debut). For this reason, he received the nickname Daddy from the very beginning. He always tries to organize other guys.

S.coups considers himself a role model and tries to train more and look strong. The singer has a black belt in taekwondo. He loves to read and dreams of meeting a girl who cooks great.

The Hip Hop subgroup also includes Jung Wonwoo, or simply Wonwoo, the main rapper of the group. The 21-year-old artist is seriously interested in poetry, as evidenced by his five notebooks filled with poetry. Wonwoo dreams of performing one of his compositions during the group's performance.

The young man considers himself a little lazy and loves to dress fashionably. In the past, he was an anti-fan of Girls' Generation, which he regrets today.

Mingyu and Vernon

From the first season, viewers paid attention to the hip-hop direction of Seventeen. It’s hard to imagine the group’s composition without two other members - Vernon and Mingyu.

Vernon is the stage name of Choi Han Seol, who is one of the youngest artists on the team. Fluent in Korean and English languages, because I was born in New York. When Vernon was five years old, his family moved to South Korea.

Among all the boy band members, Han Seol is considered to be the shy one with a sweet tooth. He collects hats and is seriously interested in fashion. The artist dreams of meeting a girl with beautiful legs, learning to read minds and becoming a billionaire in ten years, which is quite possible, performing in Seventeen.

A group of hip-hop artists would not be complete without Kim Mingyu, who was given the nicknames Household Clean and Hair Master. She loves to walk, sleep and eat, and can also repair any equipment in the house or rehearsal room.

After reading Mingyu’s profile, Russian fans began to have hopes. The singer dreams of seeing next to him a girl with long brown hair, not Korean or Asian (agree, ideal

Hoshi and Dino

From the Hip-Hop team we move on to the Seventeen dancers. Korean group, whose biography began in 2015, must definitely show a show with spectacular choreography.

The leader of the performance group was Kwon Soonyoung, or Hoshi. He monitors not only the perfect execution of all invented movements and scenes, but also the mood of the entire team. Hoshi admits that few sweatpants can withstand constant rehearsals.

The main dancer attracts fans with his platinum hair and excellent physique. The profile also describes Hoshi's unusual hobby - collecting strange photos of his Seventeen colleagues.

The group, whose members belong to Performance, has its own fan club. Dino, or Lee Chan, is considered the favorite of all the girls; the only fact that touches him is that the dancer sleeps in an embrace with soft toys. Dino is the shortest member of the team (his height is only 170 centimeters).

Lee Chang loves the work of Michael Jackson, free time spends watching movies. The artist had no doubts about his desire to work in Seventeen, because he has been a fan of EXO for several years.

The8 and June

Another blonde in the Performance subgroup is Su Minghao, or The8. As we have already said, the project is aimed at several countries at once. For example, Minghao represents China. The artist is fond of martial arts, and on stage he has no equal in breakdancing. To some fans, The8 resembles Chanyeol, a performer from the boy band EXO.

However, Su Minghao is not the only foreigner on the team. Weng Junhui is also from China. June plays the piano beautifully and is interested in Wushu. The dancer always has snacks with him.

Wen is seriously studying acting - he has already demonstrated his talents during filming in the Chinese films Children’s War and The Pye Dog.

Wooji, Seungkwan and Dokyeom

The composer and leader of the vocalists is Li Zhihong. I’m ready to work 24 hours a day in Uji’s studio. The artist is quite different difficult character. During the reality show, viewers noted an “angry” tongue and a slightly aloof facial expression, but for Scorpio this is quite normal. Uji has never dated girls and plays the guitar and piano very well. The artist dreams of meeting Justin Bieber.

Wooji's team is accompanied by main vocalists Lee Seokmin and Boo Seungkwan. Before the launch of the project, the last person on the guest list was Seokmin (stage name Dokyeom). In an interview with a popular publication, he admitted that at first he felt very uncomfortable and lonely, but quickly found mutual language with future colleagues. Dokyeom is considered to be the biggest prankster in Seventeen.

The group is Korean, the food is American - every fan knows about Boo Seungkwan’s devoted love for hamburgers. The 18-year-old member of the team has the most nicknames and loves to make fun of others. He is closest to Han Sol.

Seungkwan's talent did not escape the label's competitors - JYP Entertainment offered him a lucrative contract, but was refused. Next to him the young man wants to see an attractive companion with easy character, who would become his best friend.

Johan and Joshua

Team Vocal has five members, but the one who attracts the most attention is long-haired young man Yoon Jeonghan. The aspiring singer loves to play football, badminton and basketball. As you know, the members of a boy band are prohibited from having affairs under their contract, so they can only dream of ideal girls. Johan wants to see next to him a kind and sweet beauty with an explosive character, eight years younger than himself.

The reality show showed the development of relationships within Seventeen. The group brought together talented young people - some found like-minded people, while others found true friends. The first person Yoon Jeonghan met and became close to was Hong Jisoo (Joshua).

Lead vocalist Joshua lived in the USA until he was 19 years old, so he knows English perfectly and Korean And. By luck, the young man ended up at the festival, where he successfully passed the casting for the group.

Jisoo considers her strong point to be vocals and plays the guitar. The list of favorite artists includes Tupac, Chris Brown, Eminem and Usher, as well as Korean artists 2BieS. The young singer is considered an “exemplary boy” because in the States he regularly went to Christian church on Sundays.

Asian know-how

Musical groups with a large number of participants are a unique invention of Asian talent agencies. In the 90s, boy and girl bands began to appear in America and Europe. The Backstreet Boys had five members, and the Spice Girls had four members. Traditionally, a pop group has no more than seven members, but Japanese and Korean labels think differently.

The thirteen artists from Seventeen can hardly compete with the AKB48 team, which has four lineups and 123 members.

There are three arguments in favor of the Asian concept of group organization:

1. Equality. Each participant can show their talent and will not be lost against the background of more successful colleagues.
2. Show. The choreography and vocals of a large group look more impressive than a solo performance.
3. Profit. If you divide the group into several teams, concerts can be held simultaneously in several cities.

SEVENTEEN is a new, electronic, fashionable, youth project consisting of three talented and creative guys!

The SEVENTEEN project was formed in 2010. the vocalist of the group “SinOxis” is ARTI and the vocalist of “Spacebound” is Mad Dee (Ex-EVO). Initially, the musical style chosen was electronic\\\\post-modern. But the artists’ desire for creative development and willingness to experiment with sound allow the group not to be limited by certain boundaries. The first single of the project was the song of the same name – “Seventeen”. It was she who attracted the attention of the audience with a qualitatively new sound. Following the debut track, the mega-hit “Love-Internet” shoots out and the group firmly and permanently settles in the hearts and players of connoisseurs of high-quality electro-pop.

Group Seventeen is under fire for their "gay behavior." This situation caused serious controversy among netizens. Fans of the group Seventeen posted a post with a headline that read: Come to me, bro: Counterarguments against rumors about Seventeen's gay behavior". This post was posted to protect the group from attacks from netizens who accuse the guys of often playing “gay games” at their fan meetings, and it was also a response to a previously published post “ Seventeen gay games at fanmeetings«.

One user wrote: “I'm writing this because I find it outrageous. It upsets me that someone is trying to discredit the group in this way. I'm a fan of Seventeen, although I only became one recently, but I've always thought that this group was very positive. I was truly shocked when I read these rumors."

He continued: "These photos show that they were playing the game Pepero and I think it's absurd to call it 'gay games.'

1. “Gay” is a term used to refer to homosexual men and does not have any negative connotations. However, netizens have used the words "gay games" in a manner that emphasizes the word "gay" with negative connotations, and have referred to the group Seventeen in the same way, even without evidence or official statements. This is not only rude to the group, but also to everyone who belongs to that sexual minority.

2. There is no explanation at all regarding the photographs.

Whoever wrote this post is a member of another fandom. He published this post without explaining at all the origin of these photos. He was not there personally, but simply uploaded photographs from the angle that was beneficial to him. This is a real provocation that has led to a lot of misunderstanding. Judging by the likes, it turns out that more than a thousand people agreed with his provocation and consider the guys from the group to be gay.

Firstly, I want to clarify that all these photographs were taken during a fan meeting, where the guys, at the request of the host, played the popular game “Pepero” and there is nothing reprehensible in these photographs. If you look at photos from other groups' fan meetings, you will notice that they also play Pepero, or a game where you pass a piece of paper with your mouth. If you follow the logic of whoever wrote that post, it turns out that all idols are gay.

“There were also mistakes made in the signs. I don't think they were made by Pledis employees because that would be stupid. Most likely the organizers allowed them. It’s a shame that innocent people are now suffering because of someone’s mistakes.”

Carats, be strong»

Many netizens agreed with this opinion and commented on this message:

“The fan meeting took place in another country, and the organizers did not correctly translate the text into Hangul, which caused confusion not only among the guys, but also among everyone who understands the Korean language. Not only did they put the guys in an awkward situation, but because of them the guys are now being accused of who knows what.”

“Someone from another fandom did this. This is very low. Insulting people just because you don't like something about them is a very cowardly act. You insult people without facts and evidence, but only stupid fiction.”

“After I saw this post, I realized how much of a rotten place Pann is.”
