Rating SEVENTEEN's "MAESTRO" Stage Outfits (mainly Junhui & Jeonghan)

This is something completely random that I had saved as a draft for a while, but finally decided to post since "MAESTRO" promotions have officially ended. Originally, I only wrote my "review" for Junhui (my bias since PRE-debut), but then my YouTube feed got flooded with people posting about Jeonghan, so I added him in too (because for sure he'll go "inactive" by the end of the year—everybody please be nice). I keep all the stage performances in chronological order because it's easier than sorting from most to least favorite. I cannot rate all 13 members individually due to time/energy constraints @_@ (I also made the voluntary decision to take a lot of screenshots.)

DISCLAIMER: This post is very long, hence the need to put "Keep Reading". Everything is my opinion! If you prefer not to read, then at least enjoy this snippet from the encore stage from Music Bank 2024-05-10!

Or you could also watch the BTS video for "Cheers to Youth"! (I was surprised that it was released a few days early...)

M! Countdown 2024-05-02: This outfit set is the same one from the 1st part of the MV (futuristic/sci-fi theme with mostly grayscale colors). I skipped the intro part & went straight to the start of the performance. Overall, everyone looked great for the first comeback stage. This is Joshua's only time wearing full uniform bangs (with a slight perm?) that made him look completely different compared to the other stage styles.

Junhui: Nothing really stood out to me, but I do wonder if that piece of (leather?) clothing that covers his arms + shoulders is comfortable or flexible.

Jeonghan: This may sound irrelevant, but I was SO GLAD to see that his black jacket had a hood on it (even though there's no need to wear it). Since he's not really in the 1st part of the MV, this outfit probably had (at most) only 10 seconds of screen time combined. Also—during Jeonghan's final line where he turns to the side, I thought he looked like Leeteuk for a second @_@ (don't ask).

-~-~-~-~;{e -~-~-~-~;{e -~-~-~-~;{e |&| a};~-~-~-~- a};~-~-~-~- a};~-~-~-~-

Music Bank 2024-05-03: This outsit set is the same one from the 2nd part of the MV (classic/elegant theme with mostly black & burgundy colors). This is one of the better sets! The only weird thing was that Wonwoo's ELECTRIC BLUE hand mic matched the stage lights, while the other hand mics were black (matches the outfits & black hair) or gold (matches blond hair).

Junhui: I'm so happy that he didn't wear the hat (from the MV) onstage because now you get to see his amazing hair & bangs! He totally looks like a (music) student at a prestigious European school during lunch break (because coats/jackets are optional when class isn't in session—don't ask how I know this).

Jeonghan: During the MV BTS video, he said that wearing this outfit + holding the conductor wand for his solo shots made him feel like he was in Harry Potter... which made me think of Professor Snape for no reason (probably because of his hair). Overall, that blended two-tone blazer & black rose brooch look amazing!

-~-~-~-~;{e -~-~-~-~;{e -~-~-~-~;{e |&| a};~-~-~-~- a};~-~-~-~- a};~-~-~-~-

2024-05-04 Music Core: Not only did Josh & Vernon (aka American Line) wear shorts, but Seungkwan & Dino (aka maknae line minus Vernon & his shorts) wore baseball caps O_O (pretty hilarious though). This new all-white stage outfit set was a hit-or-miss depending on the individual, especially since some guys had short blazers. Honestly, I like DK's outfit the most because he's the only one wearing a knee-length long blazer. Wonwoo's outfit was my least favorite because his shirt had so many layers of loose fabric that were confusing to look at. I did get a good laugh out of seeing Vernon perform his 2 knee kicks (while wearing SHORTS) during his final line in the 2nd post-chorus.

Junhui: I'm not entirely sure what I'm looking at, but his outfit overall is less distracting/confusing than Wonwoo's. I feel like something's missing, like maybe a blazer or vest. There are some pieces of long fabric extending from his waist, but I'm not sure if they're part of his shirt or pants (Music Core doesn't provide individual fancams).

Jeonghan: Same issue—I have no idea which garment is which. Some of the flying belts reminded me of a karate/taekwondo uniform @_@. He definitely deserved a longer blazer than what I could see. The good thing is that Music Core captured SC & Jeonghan's side performances during Seungkwan's lines during both stages.

-~-~-~-~;{e -~-~-~-~;{e -~-~-~-~;{e |&| a};~-~-~-~- a};~-~-~-~- a};~-~-~-~-

2024-05-05 Inkigayo: This outsit set is the same one from the 3rd part of the MV (classic/distinguished theme again but now with mostly black & white colors). Watching this video made me realize how many more guys are wearing SHORTS &/or baseball caps for this stage. DK looks like a well-educated pirate here (yeah that made no sense). This is Joshua's BEST stage outfit with that fancy business professional attire.

Junhui: It looks like his hair is slightly permed & now a bit denser (i.e. almost no forehead visible). This outfit makes him look like a newspaper boy aspiring to become a (classical) musician. His hairstyle isn't too bad, but I would definitely make that hanging piece of fabric from his shirt shorter or tucked in better (kind of distracting when it sways during his dance parts).

Jeonghan: I have no idea what the stylists did to his hair (another perm?), but it was distracting. His outfit looks great up front, but I wish that the black garment stretched across & covered his entire back (it currently has a halter neck design). Anyway, I'll move on. ._.

-~-~-~-~;{e -~-~-~-~;{e -~-~-~-~;{e |&| a};~-~-~-~- a};~-~-~-~- a};~-~-~-~-

M! Countdown 2024-05-09: This week's SHINE STAGE is a replay of last week's episode from 2024-05-02 (which is why I didn't bother including the URL), but now you have Jeonghan as the YouTube thumbnail instead of Hoshi! XD

-~-~-~-~;{e -~-~-~-~;{e -~-~-~-~;{e |&| a};~-~-~-~- a};~-~-~-~- a};~-~-~-~-

Music Bank 2024-05-10: THIS IS MY FAVORITE STAGE WITH THE BEST OUTFITS EVER! Since I made fun of DK looking like a fancy pirate earlier, his outfit here makes him look like a merchant from overseas (same concept). Wonwoo also looks great with TWO (or more) sleeveless garments, & since everyone is wearing black + white without any red, his ELECTRIC BLUE hand mic doesn't out of feel place.

Junhui: Now that he's wearing a (sparkly) black jacket/blazer with a white shirt, white tie, & black pants (I call it "standard attire"), he definitely looks like the head prefect at prestigious European (music) school & about to head for his next class. Even though this outfit isn't as fancy/flashy as some previous ones, he looks especially elegant here. His hair is also back to normal! You can part of his forehead again where his bangs split!

Jeonghan: I'll never get tired of complimenting his hime-cut & ponytail that was short-lived (because he removed the hair tie during the encore). For me, it's a throwback to "Super" promotions when Jeonghan's hair was also long enough to tie up with complementary hair pins (I could go on about traditional East Asian aesthetics, but I won't). This asymmetrical black-white outfit had black ruffles near the collar that combined with the black line + leaf down his shirt leaf to form a flower. I would've made the left leather glove less bulky near the elbow (he also removed that during the encore) & extended the black fabric part on the back side (the diagonal split was a bit weird). Overall, Jeonghan looks like he could be a music teacher in Black Butler's Public School Arc (if you've watched Episode 6 where Sebastian was conducting the music students, then it'll make more sense).

-~-~-~-~;{e -~-~-~-~;{e -~-~-~-~;{e |&| a};~-~-~-~- a};~-~-~-~- a};~-~-~-~-

2024-05-11 Music Core: I have mostly complaints about this one, starting with the (sky) blue denim jeans that I thought were out of place. It would've been better if the pants were made of cotton or wool instead of denim (the same color is fine). Just look at Josh! Business blazer/shirt with denim jeans? UNACCEPTABLE! >:V However, the skinny denim jeans work well for Junhui, Wonwoo, & Minghao because they're wearing long-sleeve shirts/sweaters with knee-high boots. Some of the guys wore see-through shirts (I didn't know until I read the comments), which are not my cup of tea & overall made the outfits even weirder.

Junhui: His outfit is a lot better than some of the others' outfits, but you can't really see his arm movements because he's wearing a black sweater without any white or lighter colors to contrast against (the background is also dark). Not bad, though.

Jeonghan: He's one of the few guys who wore a see-through shirt, which means I don't want to say any more than I need to about his overall OOTD. I like the white blazer & little black silk scarf, though.

-~-~-~-~;{e -~-~-~-~;{e -~-~-~-~;{e |&| a};~-~-~-~- a};~-~-~-~- a};~-~-~-~-

2024-05-12 Inkigayo: This stage's outfit set is like a combined remake of some previous stage outfits, & I feel like this was a hit-or-miss again depending on the individual. I don't know & don't want to know why the stylists gave Woozi a cropped blazer. Mingyu looks cool in black-gray camouflage, though! DK looks like he has to attend basketball practice later O_O. Yeah... enough said.

Junhui: The gray pants were OK, but the shirt was something else. It looks like the sleeves are see-through while the torso is not(?). I don't really have anything more to say.

Jeonghan: No complaints! Black blazer + black shirt + black pants = perfect!

-~-~-~-~;{e -~-~-~-~;{e -~-~-~-~;{e |&| a};~-~-~-~- a};~-~-~-~- a};~-~-~-~-

2024-05-16 M Countdown: Back to classy black/gray & white outfits for their goodbye stage! ("Goodbye" wasn't official, but the guys were back on tour the next weekend, & they haven't been on any of the live shows since.) This is another hit-or-miss because some of the guys had short blazers (again T^T). I have no idea what's happening with Wonwoo's sleeves, & Hoshi's blazer has a random piece of gray fabric diagonal across his chest. Yeah... I have a headache.

Junhui: Looking back, I think this is his first & only stage where he wore a blazer with lapels (the jacket from 2024-05-10 isn't considered a blazer). It looks like there are pieces of long fabric extending from his waist again. This is definitely one of his fancier stage outfits.

Jeonghan: Blazer & shirt look great, but I felt my eyes burning when I saw his asymmetrical gray-black pants (somebody get me out of here). I'll just leave it at that @_@.

-~-~-~-~;{e -~-~-~-~;{e -~-~-~-~;{e |&| a};~-~-~-~- a};~-~-~-~- a};~-~-~-~-

MTV Fresh Out Live: This outfit set is fancy & also one of the better ones overall! Lots of black, white, & glitter! Everyone is literally sparkling! I wish the guys wore this set on at least one of the South Korean music show stages.

Junhui: I think only his shirt is sparkling, which is fine because most of his centered dance scenes have more arm movements than leg movements (so the sparkles move with his arms/torso).

Jeonghan = No complaints again! Black blazer + off-white shirt + off-shite silk scarf + black pants = perfect again! (the only thing glossy is his right leather glove)

-~-~-~-~;{e -~-~-~-~;{e -~-~-~-~;{e |&| a};~-~-~-~- a};~-~-~-~- a};~-~-~-~-

"it's Live" Band LIVE Concert: This venue is super casual, so everyone's just wearing regular clothes. If anything, the guys could probably wear their current outfits to perform "Left & Right". Junhui's blazer has some logo on the left side that made me think of a prestigious school's uniform (clearly a recurring theme now), & seeing Jeonghan wear navy blue pinstripe is rather refreshing.

-~-~-~-~;{e -~-~-~-~;{e -~-~-~-~;{e |&| a};~-~-~-~- a};~-~-~-~- a};~-~-~-~-

Thanks for reading my research report! I'm not entirely sure what to expect from Jeonghan & Wonwoo's new duet CD, but just keep your fingers crossed! (there's a good amount of keyboard ASMR in the montage video, though)
