S.Coups, the leader of Seventeen, has revealed the challenges and honest feelings he has faced while leading the team for the past 10 years.
On the 23rd, S.Coups appeared on the YouTube channel 'TEO TEO' in the episode 'Salondrip 2', where he shared his experiences and thoughts as a leader. He candidly stated, "I’m not originally a leader-type personality, but I was made the leader of Seventeen. I was very stressed during the debut days."
When MC Jang Do-yeon asked, "What were your feelings when the company assigned you as the leader of Seventeen?" S.Coups replied, "I thought someone needed to scold the kids. The company didn't want to scold them, so they probably put me in that position to lead by reprimanding them." He continued, "In the early days after our debut, I was quite awkward with the members since I was always the one saying negative things."
Mingyu, who appeared with him, said, "Now I feel that being a leader is a very important role, but during the debut days, since everyone was working hard together, I wondered what role a leader even had." He added that as time has passed, the members formed their own identities and realized the necessity of a leader.
Additionally, when Jang Do-yeon asked, "Among the twelve members, is there one person who would be easy to work with?" S.Coups answered, "Mingyu. He organizes and conveys what I want to say well," emphasizing their synergy.
Through this broadcast, S.Coups honestly revealed the weight and challenges of being the leader of Seventeen, leaving a deep impression on the fans.
