Other Members Opinion:

Jaehyun: "Seojun is like a walking ball of sunshine—and chaos. You never know what you're going to get with him. He brings this infectious energy that just makes everything feel more alive. When we're exhausted or stressed, Seojun's the one who pulls us out of it with his endless positivity and those ridiculous dance moves that somehow always end up in our choreographies."

Hyunwoo: "If you've ever wondered what it's like to live in a tornado, just spend a day with Seojun. He's a force of nature—completely unpredictable and utterly unstoppable. I swear, he's like a puppy that just discovered it has legs; he's everywhere, doing everything at once. He's the guy who'll go out of his way to cheer you up if he sees you're down, even if it means making a complete fool of himself—But that bitch is annoying as hell! —. WELL I PRETEND YOU DIDN'T SAID THAT—."

Minjun: "Seojun is the definition of pure, unfiltered chaos. But the best kind. You can't help but get caught up in his energy. He's the kind of person who'll randomly challenge you to a rap battle in the middle of a serious conversation just because he's bored. And don't even get me started on his pranks. He's a menace, but in the most lovable way."

Yoonho: "Seojun hyung? He's like the human embodiment of a sugar rush. He's always buzzing with energy, always ready to jump into whatever crazy idea pops into his head. And the best part? He's always laughing, always making sure everyone else is having a good time too. You can't help but love him for it."

Taehyun: "Seojun hyung, you're like our very own living cartoon character. But as much as I love giving you a hard time, I have to admit, you're the heartbeat of this group. You keep us all on our toes, and your laughter is like a cure for anything that's bothering us. Plus, who else could get away with tripping over nothing and turning it into a dance move? Only you, hyung."

Evara: "Seojun oppa is my partner in crime, my favorite chaos buddy. He's the one who's always down for whatever crazy idea pops into my head, no questions asked. Need to prank someone? Seojun's already got a plan. Want to sneak out for late-night snacks? He's got the keys. But it's more than just fun and games with him. He's also the one who knows how to make me laugh when I'm feeling down, the one who'll stay up all night talking just because he knows I need someone to listen. And yeah, he's the most chaotic, unpredictable person I know, but that's why I love him. He's the spark that lights up every day— EVARA STOPP— see!the guys don't like when I praise my favourite person."
