The dorm that seveenteen live in only has 3 bathroom which makes it diffcult for them. There are often times that 3 members would be in the bathroom at a time. When they do laundry it wouldn’t be uncommon for member clothing to disappear.

  1. It’s very intriguing to read about your interest in K-Pop. As a Korean, I used to listen to Korean music a lot growing up but have not been keeping up with the newer groups (there’s just too many of them honestly haha). I find it very interesting how K-Pop has touched so many corners of the earth in recent years because I used to keep it a secret in a sense; I didn’t want my friends knowing I didn’t listen to American pop all the time when I was in elementary school because I felt embarrassed. It’s so crazy to see how Korean music has become such a big influence around the world (especially with BTS recently winning a Billboard award) and I am continually fascinated since I used to harbor this little secret to myself!

  2. I find music from around the world super interesting, but I honestly do not know a whole lot about Korean Pop, and I definitely have never heard of Seventeen. It’s super cool that each member of the group has such a unique background, from where they were born to what they enjoy doing, and even what languages they speak. I liked how you included the section about where they live. This allows me and the other readers to really related to the group and understand a part of their lives, when without it this would have been difficult. What else happens in this dorm? I think it would be neat to hear more stories.
