sofea

YAY sososo happy you guys are starting the svt marathon!! btw, caratland is a annual fanmeet (since 2017) where they perform songs, switch units, play games etc. and they performed this gem at last year's caratland!

shining diamond ~!! 💎💎 and fetusteen lmaoo I agree, they really did carry over that signature seventeen sound over the years. Their predebut/debut era was rough, so i'm really proud to see where they are now 🥹 Bumzu has been with them since the beginning!! he didn't work on shining diamond, but he did work on their title track for this album, Adore U 🩵🩷 There's so much to get to in their discography, im excited for your journey 🥰 Their 2024 Caratland performance was something very special to carats. It was one of their last OT13 stages before Jeonghan enlisted and Jun worked on a drama in China 🥹🥹 hmm considering their early eras, popularity-wise i think that one legendary song must be Aju Nice? It's soo good and pretty much their neverending encore song. it's just that one song everybody knows 😂 BUT their other early songs Adore U, Mansae, Pretty U aren't that far behind and are still super popular today!! Thank you for checking out this track aaah i cant wait for the weekly marathons

As I only know a few Seventeen songs I'm excited to get to go on this journey with you

Rowan

Skye

FINALLY!! so so excited and looking forward to this whole marathon journey!!

THE early seventeen song would be Aju Nice. It's just so iconic👌🏻 if what you meant is from b-sides, then it'll be Healing imo yup the brass and funky sound is their identity since debut. it's funny that the seventeen-nes is even reflected in their music. their whole discography is about them, and what state they are in at that time after all. Bumzu had been there since the start. In fact, he is Seventeen's vocal teacher and Woozi learned how to professionally make songs from him. Woozi said that during predebut, he ended up making so many demo since the CEO ordered him to submit a song per week. And they selected which one to go with from there. it's not like the company MADE woozi a producer. he just enjoy doing it. and woozi's story on how he became one is VERY beautiful. he literally started with seventeen. here's the clip: https://x.com/tinkswonu/status/1653029429604683777?t=e5YzzSFusiFAzRt2rYMoFQ&s=09

First and foremost. I Love You. Thank you for starting with Shining Diamond. This track we can call as pre-debut song as it is featured on SVT Debut Reality Show 17Project(Not survival show, just 13 boys desperately completing mission of worthy or not to be debut. Its a story for another day.) So let me try my best to answer and put info here in point form. Its a lot I know but I am having fun as well so here goes. 1. Shining Diamond is actually a bittersweet track. It is a songs they wrote to raise back their confident after having a long trainee period and constant negative remark on why they cant debut. They compared themselves as dirt under pressure which eventually turn into Diamonds worth of 17 Carats. 2. Kye Bumzu is started with being Pledis in house SVT Vocal Trainer. He started working with Woozi in the debut album but not all track. And Woozi works with few more in-house composers at the time. And I agree, the core of Seventeen is Woozi-centric vibes and it carries until now. 3. funny you mention how seventeen has sort of SEVENTEEN Sounds with guitar and brass. and the main guitar player, Park Kitae has been working with them from debut until now (currently under Prismfilter) and since 2023-ish is a bandmaster for Prismfilter band which is playing with them for concerts and festivals. and even the pianist, drummer all has been working with seventeen more than 5 years. 4. I love the format of how you are checking each tracks by including live stages as well. I understand your concern if you are checking b-sides but the audience may not be as interested as with the title tracks. But for my Carat experience since Seventeen is a self-produced idols since debut, each track is as precious as title track. AND most importantly up to March 2025, Seventeen has performed all of their discography. All tracks has live performance either in Award Shows, Concert, Fanmeeting, Live Clip, Festivals and heck even in showcase. So that is why all track is well received by Carats. Their OSTs, free songs on youtube all you can find live stages in youtube. 5. All of their albums has a long-run (until 2025) format which will consist of OT13 tracks and unit tracks. So you can see as this way, When Seventeen do their comeback, not only OT13 comeback, but the unit also have title-track-worthy of comeback song. as their unit tracks also carry different genre for each album. Which makes it fun for carats to anticipate how each unit would sounds every time. You can say that is how engaged carats are with the songs produced. 6. I know some haters would say sometimes Seventeen comeback is a flop when you check each title track for each released you either gonna find it is famous or “is it really this good?” lol I hope this answers your questions and doubts. and yes I am biased but seventeen B-sides are never just B-sides. Thank you for slippin’ into the Diamond life and Big welcome to Caratland!! Have fun! Love, A Carat.

caratland is their fanmeeting that happens every year since 2017. there svt perform, play games (literally), do skits and switch unit songs(that is the most interesting part). and also there is a thing in caratdeul(that's how we call fandom place in general) when we greet baby carats we usually say "slip into the diamond live", that stands for "welcome" in caratdeul

Ianha

so excited for your svt marathon!!!

Hayy

For me, it’s gotta be Shining Diamond and Aju Nice—till this day, they’re still total bangers and super loved by Carats. But honestly, there are so many gems. One of the cool things about Seventeen is how every album has unit songs, and Carats always have their faves from those. And wait till you get to Caratland! The unit exchange songs they do there are next-level fun. 🤣 I’m seriously so excited for your Seventeen journey—welcome to the diamond life! You’re in for a ride 💎🩷🩵

dav

unit reverse is a must to watch

Anna

OMG OMG OMG!! Fun fact Hoshi did the choreography for this! If you guys get to watching 17 project you’ll see all the behind and the struggles they had to go through just to debut. Im patiently waiting for that day when I rewatch it again with you guys. I know there’s so much svt content but take your time I appreciate all the svt videos you react to! 🫶 Also if you notice their old performances they dont have in ears because at that time they couldnt really afford it for 13 people. My boys have come so far 🥹 They performed this OT13 in caratland last yr before enlistment started 😭

Hayy

Right!? Ohhhh, I can't wait for them to see that Pang! performance by the vocal unit 🤣🤣🤣

krizhe ming

Again, I'm super excited for this SVT marathon! You guys, i can't explain how much🩷 First of all, SHINING DIAMOND is actually their pre-debut song. This was what they released to the public during 17 PROJECT, a reality show (non-elimination, they're already a fixed group) where the end goal is for them to debut... So every Carat who watched 17 Project must have an attachment to this song too. We had a glimpse of them recording this and practice the choreo. We saw them perform this to different crowds and how they improved a lot from their first time. Also, Shining Diamond doesn't just have the signature SVT sound, but also Hoshi's signature dance style because this is one of their tracks that he is the main choreographer. He's known for using their bodies in routines like props. Another style he loves is mirroring. And, BUMZU has been with them since the beginning but he started as their vocal trainer, before he became their main producer. In the recording of Shining Diamond (from 17 Project), you'll see Bumzu sitting together with Woozi. He's guiding Woozi but wasn't really interfering. I believe it was because the company, Pledis, really wanted to introduce SVT as the 'self-producing group' thus, was showing Woozi as the actual producer.

I love this reaction sooo much!!! Welcome to the Diamond life💎 also to answer your question: Bumzu has been with SEVENTEEN ever since their pre-debut days. He co-produced ‘Adore U’ with Woozi, which is SEVENTEEN’s debut song and also the title track of their first mini-album, 17 Carat. ‘Shining Diamond’ is the first track on that same album, but it was used as a pre-debut performance song. Even though it wasn’t the title track, it’s a super meaningful song — it holds a lot of emotional value for both SEVENTEEN and CARATs. I also wanted to mention their song ‘Diamond Days’ from their 2023 album Seventeenth Heaven. It’s not officially a sequel to ‘Shining Diamond,’ but many CARATs see it that way. ‘Diamond Days’ feels like they’re reflecting on their journey — how far they’ve come since those early days. It always makes me emotional and reminds me of ‘Shining Diamond’ whenever I listen to it. I cant wait for you to check it out later on!!! Also, to answer your question: CARATLAND is SEVENTEEN’s annual fan meeting event. It’s a two-day experience filled with unique games, unit switch performances, and special stages — like from Vocal Team, Hip-Hop Team, Performance Team, BSS, Leaders, and more. It’s such a fun and meaningful event, and I think you’d love it if you check it out sometime! i cant wait for more reactions especially their B- sides! hopefully this comment helped!

All Seventeen tracks are timeless. Each track has been meticulously organized with each member's vocal range and type deliberately orchestrated to penetrative our senses. These are all masterpieces to Carats. So you cannot really pinpoint a single song that was popular in the beginning that is still popular today because they all are. Seventeen is unlike other groups-that came after them-in the sense that the music they create can heal you and will never go out of style. It isn't written to stay in the era it was written like other groups that follow trends and fads. Seventeen = timeless. Super Idols extraordinaire. Thank you so much for starting this journey. I have been patient in waiting for this!!! Please open up your $40 tier again so Carats can help guide you and request SVT contents!

This is the best Christmas present ever!

Shining Diamond is always so nostalgic for me. They made this track as a mission on their pre-debut show 17 Project with only 1 week to both make (and record) the song as well as make and practice the choreo for it. Woozi and Hoshi were stressed as hell, and poor S.Coups was also stressed as hell trying to keep them from cracking under the pressure. You might also notice a re-ocurring theme in some of their early b-sides : the fact that you shouldn't look down on them for being young or being just "pretty faces" because their sincerity, hard work and passion will shine through against all odds.

tim

Omg love this so much! i love that you actually do this in a very proper way and well planned especially this one the choice of their debut stage and 2024 Caratland with OT13 is very meaningful.. GoSe without Jeonghan really kept me thinking if he is here he will do this and that..can’t help but imagine how “quiet” Gose without Jeonghan, Wonu, Hoshi, Uji & DK

tim

😍 love this version so much! And the vocal unit version of Mansae (concert), (they also hv other unit version)..I love that their earlier songs have so many versions..if you have time you can check their acoustic version too (usually vocal unit). I think they also hv the acoustic version of Aju Nice…if I’m not mistaken, some of the arrangement for acoustic version was made by Joshua

Jade V

I don't think there really is a Hellevator equivalent for Seventeen because all of their early title tracks are loved pretty equally imo. Like Aju Nice could be considered the most iconic because it got "general public" popular and it is Seventeen's trademark encore song, but Mansae and Pretty U are just as well-loved in the fandom. Adore U would probably be the least talked about, but even then most Carats are very fond of it 🤔

Geniegetgenies

When D’Some asked “Which track is that for SVT” I literally glitched like how am I supposed to answer that? It’s too much. I don’t think there’s a single track that all Carats would pick but of course Aju Nice is basically our anthem so I think I’ll safely go with that. Lol. For their first 3 albums + the repackage Simple was my favorite. Then after Henggarae it’s like Woozi, Bumzu, and the whole team just went crazy and started making straight-up masterpieces over and over, since then I just gave up choosing favorites since I ended up adding every single track to my playlist on daily basis. I just realized it’s the exact same struggle when someone asks me to pick one best track from Face The Sun. Like… I’m so glad you choose to react to every single track on the album since I don’t think Carat will be able to pick 1 track for you in HOT era…

kristieeee

LOVE the reaction! Can't wait for the upcoming marathon!! The most recent full singing + dancing performance of Adore U was from the FOLLOW TOUR concerts in 2023-24. You can see that they themselves enjoyed the performance very much, showing the ability and experience they have accumulated over the years. I highly recommend watching it!!

Geniegetgenies

To answer your question: You could say Bumzu’s been there from the very beginning (unofficial 14th member, no joke). He didn’t co-producing Shining Diamond (mainly written and composed by Woozi, with S.Coups and Vernon as co-writers) but he did co-produce their official debut track “Adore U” and has been a key part of their music ever since. Basically SVT discography is built around Woozi and Bumzu as the main producers and writers. They either worked together or with others member/producer but honestly, across their whole discography you could probably count on 2 hands the number of tracks that don’t have one of them credited. Woozi mentioned that he first met Bumzu during vocal team training sessions and since he said Woozi didn’t need vocal training…he just ask Bumzu to taught him how to producing and use MIDI instead lol Fun fact: Woozi started producing using…GarageBand (Free version…) Like, sir. That app I only opened by accident when I was 12? And this man began his entire producing journey on Wonwoo’s laptop with that app? Sir???

Quwarichi

Bumzu was there since the beginning, he was their vocal coach. He said that Woozi never really needed coaching, and let him do his own thing. Then Woozi started wanting to learn how to produce, and asked Bumzu a lot about the way to go about it, then he and Bumzu started producing together for Seventeen. There's an old show called "Seventeen's Debut Project" about the weeks before they debuted and you can see them record Shining Diamonds, and Hoshi choreographing it. PLEDIS was near bankrupt when Seventeen was about to debut, and they did everything themselves. The title "self-produced idols" is both a marketing phrase and a harsh truth. They didn't have money to do anything else but produce and make everything themselves.

dontfalldown

AHHHHHHHHHH I AM SO EXCITEDDDDDDDDDD!!!! This is gonna be so much fun to go through with you!!! I’m so glad you like seventeen enough to marathon them. I am definitely love more than one group but I have a HUGE soft spot for seventeen. 😭😭😭

dontfalldown

For Adore U you HAVE to react to Joshua’s famous spontaneous choreo modification. It’s a running joke to this day and has definitely influenced how SVT tease each other about performance errors.

Thunder Monkey

Please please please. When you react to Mansae can you include both versions of the dance practice? One is called the "Hide & Seek" version. It's pretty impressive.

Lulu

Them performing Shining Diamond in Caratland before the members start enlisting 😭😭😭 Seventeen til we’re seventy

bludreamgirl

Can't believe im here to watch you guys officailly "slip into the diamond life" ... im so proud to be a carat ♡I feel like 15:17 when dino and mingyu smile at each other pretty much sums up how they feel performing this song.

Lulu

I hope you react to vocal unit’s version of Adore You ☺️

Fay

i don’t even think they used earpieces for that predebut performance!😭 no budget just unwavering determination and UNBELIEVABLE talent

going yellow

Hit Song, Still Lonely from Love and Letter, Space from L&L repackage. I Don't Know from Going Seventeen. Change Up from Teen,age. Run to You from Director's Cut. Good to Me from YMMD. + more lol

RamuneFloat

Please react to their Tipsy live! It is fun and emotional at the same time. I love all the songs they sang there.

can

lol Han-C said it sounded like a grand opening to a whole new world, funnily enough, we called it "slipping into the diamond life" when new fans started to fall for Seventeen. So, with this, welcome to the shining diamond life! Hope you enjoy the journey!

Jam

When was the first time they performed this again after so many years, was is during Incomplete concert during pandemic? I remember breaking down in tears and saying “my babies grew so fast” 😭🤣

Jam

Also, i thinkkk Aju Nice would be the closest answer to your question! Altho it’s really REALLY hard because most of their earlier songs are very much still relevant up to this day. They never let gi of their older tracks especially when they go on tour. They make sure all their songs gets as equal love as they should. 🥹

Ana Maria

A lot of carats already mentioned Aju Nice for what is THAT track for Seventeen but I also think that Pretty U fits that as well, a lot of people know and all carats definitely know and it means so much to Seventeen and their trajectory

Misz Nana

When I read about SVT's old days from any OG Carats, it brings tears to my eyes since I am an OG Carat. Seventeen until Seventy :-)

tim

Wow still lonely is my most favourite song

T. A

Also seventeen have performed almost of their songs on stage from their discography, you will find a stage performance for every song. I cant wait for this marathon :)

jennptx

I love this format of giving each song its time to shine. Though I've seen them twice in concert in the last few years, I still consider myself a casual listener more than a Carat. I've kept up with new albums pretty much since 2021, but I never sat down to listen to the earlier albums in full. I've just learned a lot of the older songs from shuffling playlists or what gets recommended to me, so I love the chance to go through each album deliberately with performances to go with them. Hopefully, I can be fully versed in Seventeen and probably a full-fledged Carat before I see them live again (after seeing two shows, I can say with certainty that I will never miss them on tour. So good!!) Thank you again for all the time and effort you're planning to put into this journey!

Thunder Monkey

Uggh, yes! Beautiful tingles in my ears! 😍🥰😍🥰😍🥰

ponchi

I am so excited to see you react to diamond days because they sampled shining diamond there, the feel is totaly different

Hannie 1004

And this being only Hoshi that is credited for the choreography..🥹

Hansol's Gums

this must have been nostalgic for them too
