why you should stan seventeen aka woke kings
a lot of the info I got are from threads i’ll put in the tags (b/c tumblr is deleting blogs who link in their posts); I just decided to condense everything into one giant list, so here we go:
*also keep in mind that seventeen has 2 english speaking members, so I assume any clothes they wear with english messages are intentional
- coups, mingyu, and vernon wearing clothes from lgbtq+ companies or with the pride flag on it
- dino reading a book about feminism and homosexuality
- vernon recommending “moonlight”, a lgbt movie
- the members constantly praising mingyu’s tan skin and hoshi’s small eyes
- “don’t fit yourself in others’ standards of beauty” - vernon
- “rocket” being written as a gender neutral song intentionally
- “hello” being changed to have gender neutral pronouns after being re-released
- vernon saying he wants to break gender roles in fashion
- bong bong (svt’s mascot) being genderless
- dk wearing a shirt saying “clothes are genderless”
- vernon wearing a sweater saying “say no to racism”
- hoshi wearing a black lives matter jacket
- wonwoo always asking female staff if his rap lyrics are offensive before recording them
- members wearing marymond clothes (showing support for korean women who were trafficked during WW2)
- wonwoo wearing a bracelet in support of comfort women
- seungkwan telling young people that a mother’s role should not be reduced to just doing chores and that they should help out their mothers whenever they can
- wonwoo wrote “housewives are strong people” in his rap
- vernon speaking up about racism against mixed people in korea
- seventeen telling each other and fans not to diet extremely, and that they should eat whatever makes them happy
- joshua and wonwoo saying race does not matter (specifically in dating)
- jeonghan breaking gender stereotypes with his long hair and dressing as harley quinn for halloween
- svt always covering gg songs respectfully
- hoshi including sign language in his choreography
- wonwoo saying that idols are people who think, are intelligence, and have substance as well
- coups telling fans that it’s okay to seek help if they are feeling depressed, and to be kind to everyone because you can never truly understand another’s struggle. he also comforted a fan he noticed self-harmed.
- minghao telling fans that if they adopt a pet, they should take care of the animal well until the end
- they do A LOT of charity work, and even hand-designed shirts to sell for charity
