Even if the world wants to be ignorant about woozi's work SEVENTEEN will never fail to promote him more than anyone. Proud of them. Thank you for this interview

SK: "it's not about 'getting inspiration' for our Woozi. He's a genius, he just does it, he makes sense for that." HS: "in 10 minutes, Woozi will have something ready when I would need atleast 10 days. He's just different, we treasure him so much." WOOZI BEST PRODUCER!! 😭💙

being dubbed as "performance powerhouse" and being known as "self-producing idols" really leaves fans and the general public curious about this group's creative production so in behalf of CARATs, we're very grateful to the Grammy Museum for offering the boys a platform where they can discuss in the most raw ways about their music and production. ♡

I want to take this opportunity to say THANK YOU BUMZU, for helping and nurturing woozi's talent. Seventeen really appreciate you as well as carats. Thank you also Seventeen for being a good inspiration to every individual who listen and watch everything your group produce.

This should be titled ‘Seventeen praising woozi for his extraordinary producing skills for 24 minutes and 13 seconds’ I really love this interview , the question were very good and I love how he focused on their beginning so much and it made them so happy to talk about how it all started , I’m telling you if seventeen could have their own LABEL they could!!! , they have everything and do everything for themselves! From producing the music and creating the choreography even the music video !! I’m glad I’m a Carat !! ❤️

The way woozi tell the stories before their debut, walking down the memory lane, i just so happy to see he ia so proud of it. He worked really hard and the fact he was afraid bcs he sort of feeling responsible for 12 person's future back then, you did well Woozi!!

The whole interview depicted their humble beginnings until to their current self. I always love this kind of interview in which they will not only focus on promoting the entire new album but also goes on deeper points of view regarding how the produce their songs. Coz we all know seventeen is a self producing group but its rare that they were asking about the behind of all the makings of their tracks, how they think about making one, how and when they were inspired and motivated, how much revisions they did to produce a whole great album.. Thank You so much for gifting us this great interview about our dear Seventeen.. We always love how you go in more elaborated and depth interview everytime.. Stay safe and praying that you will meet each other in the near future..😍😍😍

Hoshi- MUST PROMOTE WOOZI EVERYWHERE AND ANYWHERE!

If you’re curious about seventeen’s musicality, then this interview well explained their journey and experiences and song writers.

this interview really showcase how seventeen is actively involved in every creative aspects of their music and performance, they had story to tell for every songs from the inspiration, the prosses, untill it become the final products, i hope more and more people will apreciate seventeen musicality abbilily more because that whats makes seventeen is seventeen, they build different from the very start and keeping the originality for over 6 years is amazing, their fondation is strong keep the good work seventeen

What a treat of this episode!! Seriously enjoyed SEVENTEEN’s insight in their creative and recording process for their music. It’s just amazing to hear them talk about working/creating music as trainees and now they have it as part of their daily life. They just respect each other so much and the fact they stay true to each other is amazing.

What a genuinely touching interview. The questions were all spot on and we could feel their sincerity in exploring the world of music; producing their own songs, taking part in creating the cheorography and above all, delivering such deep message about universal language of love in this album. SEVENTEEN is obviously what we all want to see growing up to be a worldwide-known K-Pop artist. Way to go, guys!

The way they tell their stories is a mood. This is how you easily answered those questions if you are actively involved in producing song. And every member's being proud for having Woozi as their producer. I'm so proud of them.

this is such a great interview - just hearing seventeen talk about their growth as self-producing artists and get snippets of their creative process. you can see that they love having these kinds of conversations ♡ i really wish we get to hear more a lot from them about this.

as a fan, im really grateful bumzu was the person who was there to guide and help woozi and well as everyone else for not only seventeen’s tracks, but the members’ solo work as well. if it were anyone else seventeen might not have come this far…his role was integral to their success. also, thanks for asking about adore u!! im fascinated that it could’ve been i need you instead loll

Thank you Mark Conklin and Prudential Center for inviting SEVENTEEN to this interview. It has been a fan topic for a long time, what is the behind the scenes to their music. I'm glad they were able to share more about their process, more than what we've seen or heard from the members. It was interesting seeing their growth, with questions from Adore U era, to Left & Right, and now to Ready to Love and the rest of the Your Choice album. Thank you again and I hope to see the members at the Prudential Center too because that is where I first really met them and fell in love with their whole energy and music!

I really how all the members acknowledge and have a huge respect for Woozi as their member, friend and picked him as their favorite producer. They've seen him struggled and stressed most of the time but they always bring out the best in him♥️😭.

im so fascinated to hear the musical and production aspects of their songs. the way they talk confidently about the process and the in-depth details on how they came up from the idea, to the lyrics, to the revisions and everything, show how they really put their time and effort to their craft. it still amazes me that 13 boys have perfect harmony that the various ideas they get individually can be solidified as one because they're that comfortable and competent to produce anything. and how they take pride of the group's main producer, WOOZI, who they never fail to praise and uplift his efforts in every cb. They're the biggest supporters of each other, and thats like few of the million reasons why i love and support this group, my home, SEVENTEEN.

I love the fact that Seventeen make their own songs, they are self-producing idols! And all of their songs have a wonderful meaning; thanks to Seventeen I'm a person that now knows and loves the meaning of life.

the interview was so nice, we can really see how passionate they are when it comes to their music and how they take pride on it. plus, it’s so nice seeing them talk about their past experiences and how genuine they were and they are still with what they do as a member of seventeen and generally, an artist. thank you for having seventeen!

woozi is really a genius. just wanted to hug him knowing he received a lot of pressure and stress. good job always bestest boys!! we're really proud of how far you've come

They asked svt if they write their lyrics based on experience but then wonwoo said must of them use their imagination bcs they still lack of experience.

When we have DK there's no time for dull moments.

I like this interview. It gives the opportunity for Seventeen to talk about them as a self producing group. And I just awwwwww with them talking about their favourite producers. Woozi and Bumzu! And here we get to listen to Woozi really talking about Bumzu who has helped him since the beginning. There were not many opportunity to get to say this. Hwaiting Seventeen and Bumzu too! ❤

seventeen really put their all into their music, stages, everything to succeed from the beginning. they overcame so much to get to this point. and even after all this time, they still put in just as much, if not more, effort. this is why i respect them the most of any group. they deserve all the credit and more

thank you for having SEVENTEEN being interviewed and allowed them to share their perspectives about themselves as an artist growing globally. i really love to hear their answers every interviews.

You can tell he did a lot of research before this interview to cone up with questions because I don't think it was being translated live so he couldn't understand what they were saying until he got the translated footage. Props to Mark because this must have been a tricky interview to conduct

I sincerely loves this type of interview: totally focus on their music production, career, creative process. My mind is blowing with their chemistry, charisma and professionalism!! Their profound knowledge of their music/choreography/creative process is so mesmerizing and inspiring!

this was a great interview, it's such a treat to hear SVT talk about their music and the stories behind it in depth like this. as a fan it especially was so touching to hear SVT talk about their debut album and how they got into producing, I'm glad you took the time to ask them about it :') hope to see seventeen on behind the songs and/or performing at Prudential center again some time in the future!!

carats, pls do watch this interview, this will make you appreciate seventeen more as an artist who write their own songs not only as an ordinary idol lets be loud about this

Always thankful to Bumzu who noticed that Woozi (and Seventeen) needed to follow their own direction on their own. And now Universe Factory are out here making hit after hit!

SEVENTEEN is more than just an idol group...they are true artists.

Bumzu is definitely my favorite producer too. He is co-producing Seventeen and Nu'est and neither of their music ever disappoints me

The best Kpop Self-Producing Idols : *SEVENTEEN*

It took so long for me to write this but I hope u take ur time to read haha! I know many of us have divided opinions about the 'Ready to Love' production. From new arrangements to a new MV director and enlisting the help of other producers (which isn't really new, but because it's BangPD, some are skeptical). Here's my take, and I will try to be as unbiased as possible: If you've been a fan of Seventeen for so long, you know that Seventeen have a set of distinctive identity that set them apart from other boy groups. *Their knife-cut choreography is unrivalled, their unique sound, and, most importantly, their 'self-producing' title, which has never been given to any other kpop group both in the past and present.* These are what make them stand out. However, SVT is a growing, maturing group that constantly haven proven to improve themselves as artists. Hence, they get receive from other producers with the goal of improving their work, not to change them completely. As Woozi continues to be the primary producer of the majority of their songs and title tracks, they have been able to maintain their title on their own over the years. The 'self-producing idols' has become more of their *pride* than a title alone. It's not the first time SVT has tried something new. Remember how they started with a fresh, youth concept with 'Adore U' to 'Boom Boom,' and then the slow, EDM track 'Don't Wanna Cry' came to life? The transition from "Clap" to "Thanks" is also noticeable. Then there's 'Oh My!' and 'Home.' *SEVENTEEN's genre is SEVENTEEN.* *What allows SVT to do all of this is that they have the freedom to create their own work and focus on their own stories to tell, which is what their fans have loved them for.* I completely understand the fans who believe that getting help from BangPD is something to be thankful for rather than disappointed about. But you have to also know that before anything else, he is also a businessman. This changes the whole story. They've never received help from other producers before that completely changed the direction of their sound, especially for a title track. 'Ready to Love' is such a good song. But to be honest there are other songs in the album that could've been a better title track. RTL is what you'd expect a SVT b-track to sound like. It's like the 'Good To Me' from YMMDawn and 'Without You' from Teen, Age. (side note: to be fair though, SVT's b-sides can all pass as title tracks let's be real) *All that fans hope for is that Hybe never takes away everything that defines Seventeen as Seventeen.* They've taken so much from us already. From the poor quality of merch to not being given enough chance to promote in S. Korea. *Seventeen is currently the second most popular boy group in both Korea and Japan. They are also Hybe's second most profitable group. So Hybe, please don't screw shits up.*

"sat down with Director of Artist Relations and Programming" OMGGGGGGGG

I hope they keep growing a lot, they deserve so much

Seventeen is literally the "started from the bottom, now we're here" meme! I really just love to see how passionate they are in producing their own craft and how proud they are working as a team. They've grown so much over the past 6 years! From 13 teenage boys struggling to find their direction in life, to now 13 young adults striving to find purpose and look for ways to spread love and inspiration through their music and performances to the world. I'm a proud CARAT! Being in the same age group as them, I resonate so much with them and I am so happy to have found them in my life. We're growing together and I find comfort from them even if we're oceans away. Thank you so much Recording Academy for this interview! This is so far my favorite!!!!

I really love it whenever woozi talk about music thingy.

SEVENTEEN didn't name themselves "Self-producing idol group". The people of Korea and the industry gave it to them because they self-produce since the beginning. Just like what Wonwoo said that they don't self-produce just to earn the title. They deserve the world!

I really love this interview because it speaks volume on how they created their own color, their own music, and so much TMI about their songs from adore u. Thank you so much for this great interview

Love to see how they're so active in answering questions. Truly shows how active they participate in the songs production

this could be my favourite interview,,, it's so amusing to hear about their music production on some of their discography 🥺 more interview like this please!

A trip down memory lane interview The smile and satisfaction in their faces when they reminisce the time they struggled and finally recognised and achieved their dreams. Being a self producing idols must be hard but it's definitely rewarding. Look where your passion, determination and hard work leads to. I'm so proud of Seventeen. I'm proud to be a Carat.

I just wanted to say Thank you for this interview, for asking their beginnings to what they are now, as a fan I can see that they really enjoy this kind of conversation specifically how can really dig in the process of their own music in general and more on professional ways Kudos Prudential and much respect Sir Mark

Idk why I teared up when they started talking about their most admired/favourite producer, and after S Coups talked about Woozi, Woozi ended up talking about Bumzu Idk why, I appreciate these two men so much: the essentials to all the new feelings and emotions that have poured into me since I recognized SVT, their music, and their source of music production

What if svt choose ' your choice ' as the name for the album to sarcasticly tell the label to respect SVT's choice

Hmm interesting Seventeen, interesting... I get it. As a Carat I get it a lot Seungkwan Hoshi. Thank you so much for having Our Seventeen...

YEAH WE TRUST OUR UNIVERSE FACTORY 🌌

Big shoutout to BUMZU too! SVT's unnoficial member 😆 Thank you for seeing the potential in Woozi and the rest of the boys, and thank you for staying with them through thick and thin. You and Hyerim-Ssaem believed in them first! And Carats will always be grateful for that.

they are so humble despite the fact this one group has everything from Best Producer, Choreographer, Vocals, Rapper, Performance, Variety (in performance and entertainment)... They deserve every recognition and success, I'll never shut up about how proud I'm to know them and stan ❤

Thank you so much Grammy Museum and Sir Mark for this interview. Indeed, stanning Seventeen is not just because of their music but also because of their attitude, their talent, their minds-being them as a whole! They are a great masterpiece and I'm thankful because I got to know you guys. Kudos to everyone!

So much respect to SEVENTEEN being an all-rounder since debut. It really shows how much they are involved in producing their albums.

You know it's a good interview when many are compelled to write longer comments and engage in discussion/appreciation of SEVENTEEN :))

i enjoy watching this so much! im never gonna get bored of learning more about how seventeen make their music. they are so passionate about it and it shows in every lyrics, beats, and melody of their music. it makes me adore them even more. thank you for the opportunity for them to talk about their music in such an in-depth manner!

woozi you're working so hard, woozi best producer indeed

hope they can come back again this interview gave so much insight into their process!

This must be one of my favorites interviews! Seventeen really explained everything and made a great discussion! I love to get to know more about the producing process, their inspiration and how they let all of the members be part of that. Seventeen fighting 💖 looking forward for more of you🤍

Mau bilang makasih ke woozi sama bumzu. Keren banget bisa buat masterpiece sebanyak ini. Dari awal sampai sekarang. Sayang banget 🤧❤️

I love this vid They highlighted the most important things about seventeen and their know-how in producing songs Kudos to the host, he didn't make them uncomfortable and bored. Thank u for inviting seventeen!

when somebody asks how SEVENTEEN's music is created in relation to them being self-producing idols, this would be the video to show them. how interesting is their process and how much they are really involved in their music. the fans already know bits and stuff in their producing process but we learned some new things from this interview as well. thank you for asking about their creative process and even diving back as far as their debut song, truly comprehensive. I hope the world sees the huge potential for success in these boys and I hope everyone could enjoy their music because of its authenticity and relatability.

I really respect and adore woozi as music producer. So this whole interview is going to be my new obsession of him. Thank. You. So. Much. For. This.

The very highlights of this interview are how passionate SEVENTEEN are when it comes to music; and how great and talented WOOZI hyung was as the producer and as the backbone of the group. I'm so proud of you, bros! Let's also give love and applause for BUMZU hyung for molding Woozi hyung to become a great producer.

Every Carat should watch this... Give them the respect that they deserve because before everything else, they are artists and they deserve the recognition everywhere!!!! Thank you for this... This is meaningful, at least to me, because I can at least a little of what goes into their "art"! Carats, the first thing is we all love SEVENTEEN and the second thing is SEVENTEEN loves all of us because irrespective of the side of World we live in, we all are CARATs!! Become a person who your idol can be proud of. Love you all~

If I were Bumzu, I'd feel lika a proud daddy to my 13 son wspecially, the middle one, Woozi ♡♡

this interview is the best so far thank you mark for bringing and pointing out more towards their musical aspects this is definitely one of my favorites seventeen interviews

This was really a good interview, they have many opportunities to talk about their latest albums but few to talk seriously and genuinely about the process. The best decision I've ever made was to stan Seventeen.

my boys i'm so proud of them

Thanks for letting them talked about behind the song's production... You've worked so hard sebong-aa.. :')

no matter how much everyone thrashes pledis, we have to be thankful to them for realising seventeens' potential and help bring out the best in them. This was an amazing interview

Thank you so much for inviting them! This is such an interesting interview and insight to how they all make these amazing music. It’s really beautiful to hear from songwriters and producers how they gather all their inspiration and put it into songs for us to relate to. Keep flying high seventeen ❤️

Hoping for the best for u guys, seventeen!

이 인터뷰는 음악적인 게 많아서 좋다. 비하인드 얘기도 아주 굿

Lihatlah passion mereka ketika ngejelasin arti dari anyone dan ready to love 😀 Anyone : merrka tau arti dari lagunya ready to love : bingung mau ngejelasinnya 😂😂 Dan soal adore u ngejelasinnya jelas dan padat maksudnya wkwkwkwk

ahhh interviews about their writing process / album creation are always so interesting to me! you can tell how much work they put into their music and how much thought goes into all their songs!! as self producing idols these kind of things are always very cool to hear about. also, although woozi is definitely the center for everything it’s lovely to see other members speaking up abt their own experiences so it’s not just woozi tanking the interview (but i wouldnt mind sitting and listening to him talk about his creation process for hours) love this family so much thanks for the interview ^__^! hope to see many other kpop groups for this (i.e. day6) interview as well

I think Ready to Love and Your choice is the sign that you have grown up. You've matured when you feel the confidence to profess your love and also respect the person's choice, whether its rejecting or accepting. Because loving someone means to respect them. When you're young, you don't often think about how the other person feels about you. You just want them to accept you and like you back selfishly because YOU like them. Not that you hope they actually like you back and have genuine feelings that are deep to them. To mature is to understand that they might not feel the same way as you, but still tell them anyways because you are confident to be ready to love. And if you get rejected, you don't blame them or demonize them. Because to truly love is to respect them and love them without seeking an ulterior motive. When you're a kid, you haven't learned that lesson yet and you are in the process to learn about love being the ultimate act of selflessness. When you're a kid, you just want to love and gain love back because it feels good. You don't care about how that person actually feels, you just want love back because you gave it first. When you gain the knowledge that love is a selfless thing and actually use it, you understand what it's like to truly love someone.

Awsome! Thank you for having them.. my boys are everywhere T.T

So proud of SEVENTEEN !

After all, I am so much amazed and thankful for SEVENTEEN & BUMZU's works, especially to WOOZI and his works, he deserves to be promoted and get recognized like this just as how SEVENTEEN does to WOOZI everytime. He's a genius after all, and I can't agree more to that fact.

Rewatching this because as Carats have said, this interview needs more hype! Thank you, Grammys museum! I enjoyed this interview of SVT's creative process... 🥰

there's a lot of times when we think on how good and professional woozi was when making music. not only carats but seventeen members too, woozi at the some point must've had the sort of burdensome of figuring out what types or what would suit seventeen the most. he mentioned this before on how this music making process feel much as his daily life, people might be pouring the compliments here and there and saying he's a genius but still he thinks this as a talent that he can do for the group. he believes each of the members bringing different color and do what they skilled the most. woozi has been so down to earth about being a producer, not to say that was a good gratitude of him on doing so but i hope woozi realizes he did much justice for the group and show the audience the title of self-producing group.

This interview was really one of seventeen's best interviews amongst their promotions in the west! I love how they were given the opportunity to freely speak about their passion which is their music and the process they go through to give it to us. I really enjoyed seeing them enthusiastically talk about it. SEVENTEEN was built by the Seventeen members themselves from the ground up. Thank you so much for having them again!

THIS IS SUCH A GREAT INTERVIEW! SEVENTEEN DESERVE THIS KIND OF INTERVIEW, WE CAN SEE HOW TALENTED THEY ARE AND WOOZI IS A GENIUS COMPOSER AND SONG WRITER! THANK YOU!

I love how there is a spark in their eyes when they are talking about the production of the whole album and the individual songs.....the making of the tracks, lyrics inspirations and the dance, is just amazing tbh...I really hope more fans (carats) could acknowledge how much effort they put into each and every albums they've made..

자체제작그룹 세븐틴이라서..할 수 있는 얘기, 음악 얘기 많이 해서 너무 좋다~ 아낀다..안무 매번 바꾼거 진짜 재미 있었지

It's really a memory line when they talked about 2 months performance of Adore You. I still remember my excitement for their next performance because they always did it different each day! I'm really thankful for this interview because we can see the progress, the reason, and the way they beyond creative since before debut. "The label seeing our creativity and changes their purpose when they see it." "It's better performing our own music rather than just present by getting from others." I'm always be proud of carat and wish they will present their own produce as long as their career.

Great interview. I really love Seventeen for being self-producing group. I believe that they can convey every message wonderfully with their lyrics. And their mutual love for each other is great and how they praise Woozi all the time is simply wonderful. 💕💕💕💕

Thank you for the meaningful interview! Been a carat for 5 yrs, it still amazes me every time when they’re talking about their own music production. Their passion and perseverance make them who they are now. I hope they can continue to do whatever they want to do, will always support them ♡

How woozi started composing: with garageband on Wonwoo's macbook

I could listen to them tell those stories and real behind the songs for hours. Its one of the most interestings interviews I have heard and not only because of the questions but the way they are talking about this proces and their memories just shows they are incredibly talented. I can't wait to see where they will be in the next few years. And I know they will become legendary

I would like to say thank you for this amazing interview about how our boys Seventeen really confident and appreciate every steps and progress they have made in making their own musics. It just proves how much their involvement in every musics they’ve made and try to convey each every single messages beautifully. Woozi once said, that he is NOT a genius producer /composer, but he is a foolish producer. Because a foolish will always work harder than others, try and try and try again with all his best to make something wonderful. This is why I believe that Seventeen musics will always grows and evolve in every single comeback. Way to go guys!

I was so curious about how SEVENTEEN produce their music thank you! I am proud of them especially Woozi for his hardwork❤️

They really are the powerhouse

They way seventeen confidently explained their music involvement in any track of the albums just shows how amazingly genuine they are in creating music.The whole interview really did a tremendous job in touching seventeen’s way of creating music from the very start to their current album ,your choice.Without a doubt that seventeen music’s style has nver been about sticking to only one style and it always has been about them being versatile and i am in awe,heck just listen to their albums and u will definitely get my point.overall this raw interview did great by highlighting seventeen’s music and talent and i’m really excited for their future releases in the future coming from these powerhouse performers.

"I thought love was simply just affection towards someone you had feelings for, but now, I can see how sometimes sadness or heartache can accompany it as well." -Hoshi 2021

The people who will never forget to appreciate and credit Woozi in producing are us Carats and Seventeen💖 and I love them so much💖💎

the way they're very passionate from the beginning of their debut till now, and Woozi, as the best producer out there. it's a perfect combination

Throughout the end of the video I teared up without knowing Seventeen I'm sooo proud of you and thankyou to Bumzu for being there for them ❤️😭

i love this interview so much! even though Seventeen is a self-producing group, i've noticed that they rarely get asked questions about their process, especially woozi, when it comes to producing their albums, so it's always so great when an interview like this, solely focused on how they produce as a team, is always so refreshing to see. Thanks, Mark Conklin!

I feel like I just attended a very special class. It would be nice if we have this kind of breakdown interview on every SEVENTEEN songs/albums. I respect Woozi a lot, he's my role model.
