VERNON: “Me deixa feliz ouvir que os CARATs amam ver nossa relação uns com os outros.”

Entrevista do Hip Hop Team para a Rolling Stone (2023)

Desde o início do SEVENTEEN, S.Coups, Wonwoo, Mingyu e Vernon foram fundamentais para o som distinto do grupo. Os quatro compõem a Hip-Hop Unit e exibem suas rimas enérgicas e incisivas em faixas de destaque como “Ah Yeah” e “Un Haeng II Chi”, sem mencionar o punhado de músicas não oficiais que os membros postaram no SoundCloud do grupo ao longo dos anos. (Confira “Winter Mountain 2015ver.” de S.COUPS e VERNON, que contém o sample de “Sideline Story”, de J.Cole.) Embora o rap seja sua especialidade, o alcance deles é incrível, como provaram recentemente quando fizeram um cover da faixa do Vocal Team “Imperfect Love”, na CARAT LAND. S.Coups é o líder tanto da Unit quanto do SEVENTEEN, e ao longo de nossa conversa, Wonwoo, Mingyu e Vernon compartilharam seu apreço por ele e pelos CARATs também. E, claro, todos os quatro compartilharam muitas piadas internas.

🍒: S.Coups | 🦊: Wonwoo | 🐶: Mingyu | 🎧: Vernon

Q. Como vocês descreveriam a liderança do S.Coups?

🐶: O papel de líder é obviamente muito importante, mas eu acho que, conforme o tempo passa, sinto que agora ele também é apenas um dos 13 — eu quero tirar o fardo de ser um líder dos ombros dele.

🎧: Para mim, pessoalmente, ele percebe e pensa em coisas que eu deixo passar ou não poderia ter pensado. Por causa disso, ele é um membro pelo qual eu sou muito grato.

🦊: Ele é um hyung com jeito de dongsaeng pra mim.

🍒: (risos) Todo mundo tem uma resposta diferente.

Q. Vocês todos passaram tantos anos juntos e viram um ao outro crescer. De quais maneiras vocês acham que suas personalidades mudaram ao longo dos anos?

🦊: Eu acho que fiquei mais iluminado. (sorri)

🎧🐶🍒: É verdade.

🍒: Wonwoo se tornou mais iluminado. Eu acho que Mingyu sempre foi positivo. Vernon parece ser uma terceira parte, pensando por conta própria…

🦊: (risos)

🐶: Ele precisa ser repreendido.

🍒: Ele parece ser uma terceira parte, mas se você perguntá-lo algo, ele sabe e está consciente. Eu não acho que ele tenha mudado muito. Eu acho que os membros que observei ao longo dos anos não mudaram de uma forma grande. Wonwoo diz que se tornou mais iluminado, mas ele sempre foi iluminado — ele apenas passou por momentos difíceis.

Q. Dentro do Hip Hop Unit, quem foi o que mais cresceu desde o debut?

🐶: Cresceu? Não seria o Vernon? Ele ficou maior comparado a antes. (risos)

🎧: Oh… fisicamente! (risos)

🐶: Eu acho que, mentalmente, somos todos similares.

🍒: Vernon também faz a maior parte dentro da nossa unit em termos de produção, então acho que musicalmente [ele cresceu] também. Tem muita coisa que eu aprendi com o Vernon quando estamos trabalhando, produzindo coisas para a nossa unit. Ele ajuda, e eu vou até ele para pedir conselhos também. E, ao olhar para resultados, o membro que mais melhorou é sempre o Mingyu.

🐶: (surpreso) Oh?

🍒: Ao escrever letras, Wonwoo é do tipo que é muito rápido e bom, então esse é só o normal agora. Mas com Mingyu, ele tem dificuldades quando se trata de escrever.

🐶: É tão difícil…

🍒: Então eu o vejo e me preocupo — “será que vai sair OK?” Mas aí, quando vejo o produto final, Mingyu sempre me surpreende. Acho que ele foi o que mais cresceu.

Q. Como o Hip Hop Unit, onde vocês buscam inspiração, seja na música ou na moda?

🍒: Eu tento olhar ao meu redor, seja com o Bumzu, com quem produzimos, ou o Woozi — para música, até na nossa unit é o Vernon (risos). Quando se trata de coisas para o Hip Hop Team, Vernon é sempre opinioso. Quando fazemos algo como um grupo, como mencionei antes, ele frequentemente é tipo uma terceira parte, quando estamos fazendo algo para o Hip Hop Team, nós tendemos a seguir o estilo e os pensamentos do Vernon.

🐶: Pra mim, é o Instagram. Acho que é a maneira mais rápida de ver tendências.

Q. Além do Hip Hop, quais gêneros e estilos de música vocês gostam?

🐶: Eu gosto de banda, e country também.

Q. Tem algum artista que vocês gostam?

🍒: [risos] Ele pesquisa “band music” no YouTube e encontra uma playlist boa.

🐶: Quando estávamos no Japão, eu encontrei bandas japonesas que gosto também.

🎧: Recentemente, eu tenho escutado o álbum da Caroline Polachek, “Desire, I Want to Turn into You”.

Q. O que vocês acham que os CARATs mais amam no SEVENTEEN?

🍒: Que somos talentosos. Nosso time é bom. Eu sou confiante na nossa presença de palco e nas performances.

🦊: Acho que nossas performances, também. Música. Humor.

🎧: Eu acho que as relações. Nós ouvimos isso muito deles. Me deixa feliz ouvir que eles amam ver nossa relação uns com os outros.

🐶: Que somos lindos. Acho que está na hora de sermos reconhecidos pelos nossos visuais!

Q. Qual é a coisa que vocês mais gostam de ouvir dos fãs?

🐶: Ele é insano. [em inglês] “He’s crazy.” Tipo nos verem no palco e ficarem tipo “Uau, isso foi insano, uau, eles são tão legais.” para comentários como esse saírem naturalmente.

🎧: De forma similar ao Mingyu, eu acho que quando recebemos um retorno positivo em coisas nas quais trabalhamos muito duro.

Q. Vocês se lembram da primeira vez que alguém reconheceu vocês?

🍒: Eu não me lembro da primeira vez mesmo, mas tem um encontro do qual ainda me lembro. Eu estava comendo churrasco coreano. Foi um homem que parecia ter uns trinta e poucos anos. Ele veio até mim e disse “Don't Wanna Cry é muito boa.” Eu fiquei surpreso. “Sério? Obrigado.”

Q. Além dos seus membros, há alguém pra quem vocês pedem conselhos ou apoio?

🍒: Eu só tenho os membros.

🦊: Eu tendo a manter as coisas pra mim… então, ou os membros, ou apenas guardo para mim mesmo.

🐶: Eu acho que, pelo fato de as preocupações que temos não serem comuns para outras pessoas, nós precisamos ter essas conversas com pessoas que possam se identificar ou nos entender. Para outros, eles podem parecer problemas insignificantes.

🦊: Nós levamos nossas leves preocupações e pensamentos para o Weverse, para os nossos CARATs (risos). Mas preocupações sérias e problemas, é ou para os membros ou para mim mesmo.

Q. Vocês passam muito tempo juntos quando estão em pausa também?

🍒: Eu jogo esportes com o Mingyu. Nesse verão, eu fui fazer snowboarding muitas vezes com o Jeonghan. Eu jogo videogame com o Wonwoo, também. Embora ele passe muito tempo em casa.

🦊: Então, no futuro, eu quero sair mais com os membros.

🐶: Pessoalmente, eu gostaria de fazer uma refeição com o Seungkwan… não sei por que ele está tão ocupado. Ele não me liga de volta. Ele sempre tem planos.

🍒: É como eu me sinto sobre você! Eu quero comer e jogar com você, mas você sempre tem planos!

🐶: Mas eu ainda atendo as suas ligações.

🍒: Você não atende ligações! (risos)

Q. Certo, última questão. Tem alguma coisa nova que vocês queiram aprender neste ano?

🎧: Guitarra/violão.

🐶: Inglês.

🍒: Você está aprendendo.

🐶: Sim, mas eu quero tentar mais. Como se minha vida estivesse em jogo.

Q. Sua vida?

🐶: Eu quero aprender!

🍒: Eu estou aprendendo agora, mas perto do fim do ano, eu quero competir em um torneio de jiu-jitsu. Eu vi que o Tom Hardy competiu e achei incrível.

🐶: Só não saia e se envergonhe.

🍒: Isso também é uma experiência!

🐶: Se você fizer isso, eu vou ao Weverse postar a hora e a data da competição do S.Coups. Podemos fazer disso um bom evento.

🦊: Não tem nada além de idiomas para mim. Inglês e japonês.

seventeen - award show

vernon x reader ; featuring : ateez

word count : 2,280

—

"and then you'll go upstage," one of the stage managers explained to you as you stood on the performance stage.

"got it," you said with a nod, looking around and watching staff members set things up.

"would you like to go ahead and rehearse your performance?" another crew member asked you.

"yea, actually, that'd be great if we could," you said to them.

one of your staff members helped you get your microphone on while a few props were being moved on stage. your dancers were also on stage listening to things that staff members were saying.

"oh y/n~"

you raised an eyebrow in confusion and started looking around when you heard someone speak. then, you noticed some people waving and jumping at you from where the artists' area would be.

"what are you guys doing here?" you immediately asked, speaking into your microphone.

"you aren't the only one with rehearsal," seungkwan said into a microphone before mingyu snatched the microphone away.

"are we going to see your new song?" mingyu asked.

"yea, don't spoil it. the music video comes out in two days," you said to them.

"what if i go live on weverse live right now?" jeonghan asked.

"hey! you better not!" you exclaimed.

"we'll start y/n's sound check now," someone announced and you hurried to get into your starting spot.

you ran through your performance and watched a video afterwards, keeping mental notes of things you needed to remember. some stage crew talked to you about things to be aware of when you performed your set.

afterwards, you met up with seventeen, who were hanging out in the artists' area still.

"are you rehearsing after me?" you asked when you made it over to the area.

"no, another group is before we do," the8 answered you as he leaned against where he was sitting.

"so what are you guys doing here then?" you asked.

"we're bored," joshua answered as he played on his phone.

you crossed your arms and leaned into your hip. "okay, i know you guys have been to japan so many times in the past, but there has to be something that you guys could be doing right now other than waiting to do your sound check," you said to all of them.

"you know how many shows they're doing? kind of a miracle that they came," someone said and you looked over your shoulder.

you uncrossed your arms and put them on your hips, no longer leaning into your hip. "yah! shouldn't you be resting at home?" you questioned s.coups, who was sitting next to dino.

"just supporting my boys, that's all," he replied with a grin.

"y/n! the others are ready to rehearse the collaboration stage in the rehearsal room, if you would like to go ahead and leave," your manager spoke up. you turned and nodded your head at her.

"okay," you said before looking at the guys. "you guys have time to grab dinner one night while you’re here?" you asked.

"we're heading back to korea after this," dino spoke up.

"really? that soon?" you questioned.

"yea, we have to," dk spoke up. "don't worry, you and vernon can go in a date another time," he said while laughing.

"hey!" you yelled and crossed your arms with a pout.

"he's right, you know," vernon said, putting his arm around your shoulders. "can i walk you to your rehearsal?" he asked.

"sure," you replied, smiling at him.

the two of you left with your manager and another staff member directing you where to go.

"so how's everything been? you've been really busy," vernon asked you.

"it's been fun," you said to him, "i really like the new song," you mentioned.

"this one is really good. i'm sure it's going to be a hit," he complimented, "your stage looks really good too."

"thanks, babe," you said while smiling.

"of course," he replied and dropped his arm. "good luck during rehearsal. don't work too hard," he said to you.

"you too," you replied and pecked his lips. "bye."

"see ya," he said with a smile.

—

"y/n! y/n! over here!"

"look over here please!"

"right here, y/n!"

paparazzi continued taking photos as you walked along the red carpet. you continued making your way down the line before reaching the end and going into the venue for the award show you were attending.

"y/n!" you immediately smiled when you saw mingi waving at you. then, he gestured you over to him and the guys.

"you look great," seonghwa complimented.

"thank you. you guys look great," you replied. "are you guys performing later?" you asked them.

some of them nodded. "yea, we are," yeosang said. "you are too, right?"

you nodded, "yea. i have to change after i present an award," you mentioned.

"what award?" san asked.

"best male performance? something along those lines. you guys were nominated for it, i know that much," you replied.

"oh, that one," hongjoong spoke while fixing his jacket.

a staff member came by and instructed all of you inside the venue to your seats. you sat with the guys and greeted other artists who were around.

"oh, we have light sticks!" wooyoung exclaimed, grabbing a light stick that was on a seat.

"we have them too? that's fun," yunho said.

"it's just a block," you commented, holding one in your hand. you pressed a button and the device turned on, shining brightly in your face.

soon, the show started and the first performance occurred. you watched in amazement as performances went by and applauded quite a bit.

after a bit, it was time for you to present an award. staff directed you from the artists' area to the main stage. you had a card in hand and walked on stage when your name was called to present the award.

fans cheered and clapped for you as you walked on stage. you headed towards the microphone and stood right behind it.

"it's an honor to be presenting this next award. with incredible nominees, it's quite difficult to have only one winner for this award," you spoke. "the award for favorite global performer — male group goes too...ateez!" you announced and the crowd erupted in cheers. you stepped back and applauded as music played. ateez made their way to the stage and gave a speech.

once their speech was over, you went backstage and changed into your outfit for your performance. while backstage, you started warming up in a hallway with many artists and staff members moving about.

you continued to warm up, trying to keep yourself warm since the venue was freezing cold for you. as you finished doing your singing warm-up, you saw a couple of the guys walking up to you.

"you guys are here?" you questioned as wonwoo walked up to you with jun behind him.

"yea. we just got here," wonwoo answered.

"this is the only stage you have today, right?" jun asked you.

you nodded, "yea. the other one will be tomorrow, but that one is pretty easy."

"y/n!"

hoshi dashed in with a giant smile on his face with woozi joining in right after.

"hi, hoshi," you greeted. "you guys probably need to go out there, right?" you asked.

"eh, we're already late. more time won't hurt that much," woozi said after shrugging his shoulders.

"hey, want me to grab vernon? i think he's getting a little makeup touched up," hoshi asked you. you shook your head.

"i'll probably see him later. i need to keep warming up. this place is freezing," you said to them.

"well, we'll see you later. good luck out there!" dino said to you before the four of them left.

you continued warming up and your outfit was fixed since one of the pieces wasn't staying on. your backup dancers were also with you, getting ready to perform.

you were performing two songs for your stage; one was your most popular song and the other was your new title track. you were worried about the new title track since you hadn't performed it yet, but you were hoping everyone would like the live performance.

"we need y/n on standby!" someone announced.

you headed to standby and waited for your queue to get on stage. a speech was being given by another group that had won an award.

once the speech ended, the stage became dark. you headed on stage and found your starting spot while your dancers got into their spots. the music started to play and the stage started to display different colors with the lights.

—

after your performance, you made it backstage and a staff member started taking your mic pack off of you while another dabbed your face with a napkin. your manager handed you a water, and you started drinking it.

"y/n! nice job out there," one of your dancers said.

"that was such a good performance," another dancer said in excitement.

"you guys did really good. i'm glad the breakdown went good," you said as someone handed you a fan to help you cool down. "you guys take it easy. i'll see you at dinner," you said to them as they walked past you.

once you cooled down, you had your makeup and hair touched up before heading to the artists' area.

"oh, y/n sunbae! hello!"

“hello sunbae!”

"hi," you smiled and greeted some of the artists who greeted you. you sat down in an empty row and watched the performance that was going on.

"is this seat taken?"

you looked up and saw vernon smiling at you.

"do i know you?" you asked him. both of you started laughing and he sat down next to you. "hey.”

"hi."

you saw the rest of seventeen sitting down in the row you were sitting in and another row a few feet down.

"you guys were seriously fashionable late," you said to him.

"well, here we are," he said to you. "you did really good. the new song sounded really good."

"i was so worried, but the music video comes out tomorrow, so i hope people liked tonight's performance and will look forward to the video," you said to him.

"well, you're a really good artist, so i think it'll work out," he said to you with a smile. "i forgot to ask, but what are you doing tonight?" he asked.

"i have dinner plans with my team," you answered. "you should've texted me earlier. i would've cancelled dinner," you said to him.

"it's fine. i didn't know our plans either," he replied. "what about tomorrow morning?" he asked.

"i'm free until eleven. wanna do something?" you asked him.

he nodded, "yea, let's text tonight about it."

"uh, lovebirds?" you looked over and saw seungkwan looking at you two. "you two are gonna be trending on twitter if you keep talking to each other."

"i mean, we're public, so does it matter?" you asked.

"not really, but you'll still be trending," seungkwan said.

"hey, can i finally get my credit for setting you two up?" wonwoo asked.

"i literally said thanks like two months ago," vernon said to him.

"publicize it," wonwoo requested.

you laughed, "i'll do it later. you'll get a special shoutout on instagram."

"congratulations, y/n!"

"wait, i won an award?"

"see, this is what happens when you're too busy talking to your boyfriend and not paying attention!"

"i can still hear you even with the cheering, seungkwan!"

—

"ah, finally," you spoke to yourself as you plopped down onto the bed of your hotel room. you had just gotten back from having dinner with your team, but you were so tired from the past few hours.

just as you were about to sit back up, your phone rang. you sat up and looked around to find your phone on the desk. you stood up and walked over to the desk. your phone screen showed a video call from vernon. as you sat down at the desk, you answered the video call.

"yo."

"is that how you two answer the phone?"

you recognized dino's voice in the background and started laughing. your boyfriend looked over his shoulder for a second before looking back at his phone.

"i'm with the guys. we're all in one of the hotel rooms," vernon explained.

"should i come visit?" you asked.

"no! but he can visit you!" mingyu yelled.

vernon looked back over his shoulder again, "guys, really?"

"should i hang up?" you asked vernon.

"no, don't. just wanted to check up on you," vernon replied. "oh, i was thinking that we could grab something from a convenience store and walk around in the morning. sound good to you?" he asked you.

"sounds cute," you said to him.

"that's all you could come up with? did we not give you enough tips?" woozi asked.

you laughed, "you guys would be surprised with how many ideas vernon has," you said. "babe, what time?"

"what time do you think you'll get up?" vernon asked you.

"eight?" you suggested.

"yea, sure."

"should we spy on them?" hoshi asked.

"we can take candid photos of them. make them trend for days," jeonghan spoke up.

"that's it," vernon said and you noticed him stand up. "i'll see you guys later," he announced.

"and where are you going?" s.coups asked.

"to be with my girl and to talk to her in peace because i know you guys will keep saying stuff," vernon replied, "i'll be back in a few hours. promise."

"wow, i get my boyfriend all to myself," you said with a smile.

"don't give him hickeys! we perform tomorrow!"

"yah!"
