JUN: his reaction when you touch his face or his belly is the cutest among the member. he's our teacher when dancing, we learned all the basic from hoshi.

SCOUPS: when members were down and had a hard time over the past year, you always cheered us up. thank you for trying your best to encourage us. i'm older than you and i'm the leader but i rely on you a lot.

THE8: if there's anything difficult, he reaches out a hand to help. i can be like myself in seventeen because of hoshi.

MINGYU: he's a very sentimental person. he has a personality that's honest and easy to get along with.

DINO: i feel like he's beside me even when he isn't there. sometimes there's a difference of opinion between us, but everything hoshi says is something i can learn from.

DOKYEOM: 1st in charm ranking is hoshi hyung. on stage he explodes with energy and charisma, then off stage usually he jokes around a lot and he'll hug you and ask for kisses.

WONWOO: hoshi really likes concepts, like tiger or 10:10. i'd really appreciate it if carats show more reactions. members often say "you are not a tiger, you're a human" so instead please say "hoshi is a tiger" a lot to him.

• "in this vast world amongst so many people, how did we come to meet each other in the same time like this? [...] i want to, without regrets, express my heart and appreciation for you all. everyone's love, i neve take it for granted."
• "if i wasn't kwon soonyoung, if i wasn't hoshi, if i wasn't a member of seventeen and if it weren't for carats could i receive this much love? i have these thoughts and it motivates me to work hard"
• "as i feel the love myself, it's something that can't be evaluated or judged carelessly... i want to give back the love that was given to us...i also want to be a good influence"
• "sometimes i have the thought 'what did i do in a past life to deserve all this love i receive from so many people?' we are all the same, we are all human.. but i'm really so thankful to receive this much love. i won't take it for granted."
• "a healthy mind doesn't only have happiness. because there's sadness, you can then feel a different type of happiness. there's a reason why they (different emotions) all exist... i just wanted to tell you that. a healthy mind isn't just full of happiness"
• "you know how huge this world is? amongst everyone, the land, the vast endless space of the universe...the fact that we were able to cross paths, this connection...is it destiny? i think that the time we have right now (together) is precious"
• (to a carat who talked about her struggle with success on fancafe) "being first and going succeeding so quickly is not all good. as i see it, if you walk slowly, believing in the way that you go, you'll take in the scenery that hasn't been seen before by others. so don't give up. believe in yourself and i'll be cheering for you."
• "everyone is so busy and tired nowadays because there's so much competition in the world.. i hope you will find your peace and live a happy life"
• (when a carat expressed in fancafe how it's difficult to endure life) "a famous saying: it's not that a strong person can go on for a long time, but that a person who can go on for a long time is strong"
• "no pretty flower blooms without being drenched or wavering first. so no matter what happens, i hope all of you can endure and overcome the hardships and become one who blooms prettily."
• "i think we all have our own unique lives and problems, but when we're here we can enjoy the moment together and forget our worries. we become eachother's strength."
• "the fact that i can become the source of happiness to someone makes me think i must have done something really nice in my past life, you (carats) make me feel that way"
• (about his solo 'touch' coreography) "i have never perceived dances as masculine or femenine. i have always liked all dances regardless of the genre, and i express what i feel from the song. nowadays there's less differentiation between men and women and more emphasis on harmony. simply put i wanted to go with a neutral feeling"
• (about contemporary dance) "you need to be able to be immersed in the moment and transform it into your own. it's important to turn it into your true self rather than treating it as an act"
• (about dancing) "i feel like another being enters me. it feels kind of like being possesed. and it changes depending on the songs we perform"
