Joshua Reveals SEVENTEEN’s Strict Rules and Deep Bond Behind 10-Year Success



The huge scale of the group Seventeen has been revealed.

A video titled 'Thank you for making a reason for life' released on Park Na-rae's YouTube channel on the 4th showed Joshua as a guest.

Joshua revealed the secret of all 13 members maintaining a strong friendship. He explained, "'When I was a trainee, I overcame the difficulties together, fought a lot, and maintained it for 10 years, so I think I was very close to him.'"




SEVENTEEN has drawn attention by saying that they will pay a fine of 10 million won and 100,000 won for one minute late if they do not attend the monthly meeting. Joshua said "I let you go of the schedule, but if you don't make it on time after the schedule, you'll be fined. I collect fines in my bank account to have staff and company people get together later. When I was Dino, I went to a sauna. If you don't want to follow, you can pay 10 million won."

Then "I even set the dress code before, but now I don't do that. If I don't do that, I don't think I'll get together, so I made Jungmo. I thought we had to be there to maintain teamwork because I was worried that we would feel a little distant when we were apart and had a schedule. Recently, Jungmo also confessed that 'I know you're sensitive, but you don't look good when you see us from the outside'".

Joshua also said, `We are a team, not individuals, so we know well that it's good. So I'm so grateful to the members and the team." He also revealed a unique gift scale. "We send 800,000 won each (as a gift to the members) and we will pay for the remaining money ourselves. Before it's your birthday, you post what you want and other members send you money" is an explanation.

SEVENTEEN celebrated its 10th anniversary this year. They were recognized as their own production groups from the beginning of their debut, and eventually, they have dominated overseas stages and are showing off their immense popularity.

In particular, last month, Seventeen's profits from the six-month world tour were revealed, drawing attention.

According to Billboard's annual half-year report released on May 28 (Oct. 1 to March 31, 2024), Seventeen attracted more than 842,000 audiences with a total of 30 performances during this period, earning about $120.9 million (about 167 billion won) in sales. This is the world's third-highest number of singers.




Like this, it's SEVENTEEN who is doing well, but there was also a pain in being a man.

Joshua was a bit good at winning his first grand prize in eight years at the 2023 'MAMA'"Son Goku." The members cried a lot because it was amazing and sad," he recalled.

Then "I didn't cry because I didn't like crying in front of people, but I recently cried because I was having a hard time thinking to myself. Burnout came because I was busy. I should be grateful, but I thought why I became so weak,' he confessed.

At the same time, Joshua "Whenever I'm having a hard time, I watch YouTube or comments and cheer up a lot. "Thank you to CARAT (SEVENTEEN's official fan club) for continuing to help me up and make me a reason for my life."
