no one asked but it's serim day so here's a rant about why he is incredible<33
He is ofc the loveliest guy just ever :( but he is Such a good leader in particular and he's so loved and respected in that role by the members it is really special. And for me it's often seen in his actions outside of their "idol" lives. The way he left practice at the same time as seongmin during their trainee days so that baby seongmin had someone to walk with home ㅠㅠ and how proud he was about it :( another thing he does is engage in the members hobbies with them and encourage them<3 when over 3 days he watched hyeongjun make a digital drawing and complimented him all through it and suggested ideas and encouraged him in his hobby :( and again how proud he was about hyeongjuns skills and how he said he was watching from since it was a blank page - he's So happy and proud to be a part of the members activities. when he bought garuqook and asked seongmin how to do it and just let seongmin have fun making it all and just encouraged him and hung out ㅠㅠ how he eats with jungmo so often even if it's the same thing for a whole week NDND he is just so happy to be responsible for them and to be involved in their lives and their individual happinesses ! whether it be drawing with juni or eating donkatsu for a week with jungmo or board games with seongmi he just wants to be involved and learn about what makes them happy and encourage it :(
And with hyeongjun .. ;-; juni is one of the most obvious about his respect for serim as a leader imo<3 in the drawing I mentioned up there ^ he drew squares for each member in their colour and he drew serims the biggest and in the centre :( and he has a coloured heart emoji beside each members name but serim gets sparkles (💖) because he's the leader :( it's very much a "I love all of them equally but serim is special coz he leads us" which is .. really what a great leader is :( he puts that effort in to lead them and keep them all safe and together and on track and in return they give him an extra bit of love<3 which he then boasts about<3 they're SO proud to have him as their leader and he has so much pride in it!! and I'm so proud of him and the vity family he works so hard for :( he is doing So well :((( happy birthday beloved leader<3333
