Lately, during the other members’ birthdays, he’s been posting photos of them during their debut dates so it isn’t unlikely that he doesn’t remember them as they were. Though looking at it from a place of success would definitely change the way he saw things; where things were difficult before, they were only learning experiences and a stepping stone to where he is now.
It’s only been 3 years since their debut so it hasn’t been that much time for him to change drastically, but there have been a few. For one, and most obviously, he’s changed in his looks. His hair has gone through a number of colours and different styles despite it always defaulting back to his coconut hair. He’s also honed in on his talent and become more confident and trusting of his skills, both vocal-wise and dance-wise. He has songs with him as the sole vocalist, he’s been on (and won) a dance show, as well as danced with artists in America and choreographed his own dances. Where in the beginning his ambitions were small and he seemed complacent in his spot, he now seems to be looking for more ways to make his skill and experience larger than ever.
Yugyeom also has learned how to interact and play with his fans more. He used to be shy, and though he still does get shy quite easily, he also knows how to show his love for ahgases way more than he used to. He talks about them in his instagram captions and never fails to show his thanks.
Of course I love seeing Yugyeom go through these things. I’ve always thought he had such great potential in dancing, that he could choreograph GOT7 songs on his own, and though he hasn’t come to that place yet he’s definitely headed there. What I enjoy the most about noticing these changes about him is not the changes themselves, but the things about him that don’t change. How gullible he is, how heartfelt and selfless he is. He’s always put other people and thought of other people ahead of himself, and taking opportunities while maintaining the same attitude is the essence of Kim Yugyeom.
He has 6 other members who surround him almost all the time, along with his fans, his friends, dance teachers, his family. He’s surrounded by influences but most of all I think it’s GOT7 who hyped him up and made him more confident in his abilities, they’re the ones who supported him andwere there for him throughout bad times. It’s his second family, and there’s no doubt that they had a big part in shaping him into who he is today.
