Awesome / SEVENTEEN

• Seventeen's title as self-producing idol group.
• Basically Mingyu in One Fine Day.
  • Special credits to the fried chicken he made. Even the members compliment it by saying that the chicken taste even better than those in restaurants.
• How they dance is also impressive, especially when they have 13 members but they still dance in an extremely uniform manner.
• The fandom, Carats, are experts in fanchants. Seventeen made very, very quick fanchants for Carats but they still manage to sing along like professional rappers.
• K-Pop fans are usually very irritated with some frequent requests of usually more popular members when others are hosting live broadcasts, so Hoshi's reaction to one of those requests is an awesome slap in their faces.
  Dino: "Where are the other members?" I think they are busy doing their own things...
  Hoshi: You can see the other members on Google.
• During One Fine Day Seungcheol has to do arm wrestling with a staff member and win in exchange with food for all members. He won within seconds.
• While many of their live performances are impressive, the reveal of "Getting Closer" at 2018 MAMA took everyone by surprise, showing that these boys can handle Darker and Edgier concepts with ease.
• An Ode being their first album to break 1 million sales within a couple of weeks. Considering that they are from a small company and only four years into their career at the time makes it doubly impressive.
• Joshua, oh dear lord, Joshua. Unlike many of the others, who had some knowledge of Korean culture and/or some type of skill, he basically came from almost nothing, only having the language and his skills in singing and guitar to back him up. From there, he had to endure rigorous, almost harsh training in dancing and singing in order to get where he is today. Despite all of this, he still maintains a gentle, lighthearted attitude, rarely showing signs of weakness.
  • Probably the biggest testament of this is when he revealed on "Hit the Road" that he was suffering from headaches and insomnia, often taking painkillers and naps throughout the day in order to get by. Crosses over with Tearjerker.
• The groups' entire journey is insane. They endured strict, almost harsh training over a long period of time in order to get where they are. On top of that, their company was almost bankrupt, which meant that they were a make-or-break group for the company. Despite multiple delays and mismanagement, they still managed to come out on top, going from a mid-tier group from a small company to a group on par with EXO and BTS.
• Heng:garae managing to reach 1 million sales within 4 days beating out their previous record with An Ode by a long mile.
• The group won their first Album of the Year award in the 2023 MAMA. Considering that they have competed against BTS and EXO for the past 9 years in the category and that they were up against the likes of Stray Kids and NewJeans in the nominations, it's considered to be a huge achievement for them and the fans.
