a guide to K

video archive for &team k
[notes] this lengthy video archive is shortlisted (though it's not exactly .. short?) for the purpose of making you love k even more, through the content from 2020 of his first appearance on a survival show, to dance practices with nicholas, ej, and taki in 2021, &audition in 2022, and as a member of &team in 2023 onwards.
videos to be added are what i think.. are must-see content of k :-)

"i wonder how long i've been running from that day i got a dream, from that day when my dream changed from that day when my dream was about to disappear. i will never stop until i become an artist, from that day i made a promise.
it was painful. it was lonely. i was anxious, even so i kept running everyday. i pushed myself beyond my limits and kept moving forward. many times the road i've taken, whether it was the long way around, or whether it was the shortest distance, i don't know. but one thing that is certain, 'there are things i've realised because of this path, there are people i met because of this path, there are friends that could only be made on this path. the day i laughed so hard, even that day when things didn't go as planned, the day i cried out loud, 'i'm glad i had that day.' yes, i came to think that from the bottom of my heart.because of the 'now' that i have, the place where i'm standing now. it's not the goal. not a turning point either. nothing has started yet. it's the starting point. but this place, it's not a place that everyone can reach. i know this very well. the place where i could stand because of who i am and the place because we could stand because of who we are.my new 42.195km starts here. while keeping the passion for music and with my best friends, i will continue running without stopping, and to the highest stage."❥𓂃𓏧 hulu spacial interview

"luné mare might have just come to an end, but we’re still going to have a comeback so I think that we’re on a starting line now. I’ll make the best use of everything that I have felt, experienced, and learnt from this Lunémare and work hard for the comeback activities. Please keep cheering on us. Also let’s make a lot of memories together.
honestly speaking, this second EP preparation was really hard, it was really hard for all of the members, it’s like, the members tho have always been cheerful, but.. they are cheerful kids, but for the first time, everyone showed a pained look. It made my heart broken too, and of course we wanted to show Luné a variety of our best appearances, but there was hindrance on the preparation.. We’ve been working hard with our utmost effort behind the stage while struggling with many things and mattersactually even before debut, I had already imagined it. But everyday I’ve been fighting against these complicated feelings and pressure that far outweigh what I have imagined. It's something I'm grateful for, but still, I think it’s not an easy path.truthfully, when things we love became our dream and then it turned into our profession, I felt like I’ve became more professional when I went through this hard times of 2nd EP preparation period.to have these feelings are such a fortune, of what we have overcame up until now.. though it's has only been 6 months, we will do our best to be the artists that can make things, voice, dance, altogether into a music that everyone can relate to, so please stay beside us forever!"❥𓂃𓏧 anan 2353

"LUNÉ is everything to me. Absolutely everything. They’re the whole reason I’m pursuing this career, why I want to do a good job and why I work hard at it. A while ago I was sort of having a rough time and I saw an ad the fans had put up at the bus stop on my way to work. It said, “Happy New Year, K!” And they kept changing the ad for every new season. I want to keep showing LUNÉ how grateful I am for helping me through that hard time. LUNÉ are fans but they’re more than that—they’re my heroes and champions."

"it’s our anniversary so i’ll try say it brightly. yes firstly thank you so much for giving us such great love this past year. as for my case there are people who have supported me for 4 years already. even though there are so many amazing and cool artists out there, thank you so much for supporting &team. i don’t think the love that one receives is permanent so i’m working hard (to be able to receive your love). the way &team exists and how we do promotions is relatively new so you might have had a hard time adjusting too but even then you have come to accept us. because of luné who are so warm and welcoming, i was able to overcome it all even when i was feeling frustrated. always being close to us when things are hard so we are able to gain energy. members who are always giving praises about things that i’m doing well, and luné are my treasure. from now on let’s go make many memories together !"

It was a year that I was able to spend so happily thanks to LUNE! Looking back now, a lot of things happened, and it was the year I went through a lot of things. Happy memories, hard memories, and mistakes. I think we can learn in our own way and grow a little with the help of many people.

“(about miyagi) i had so many memories of those hard times here (even though there were definitely good memories amongst those) but just like this (having a performance here), those harsh memories have been replaced with happy memories!
I was on the verge of collapsing/ falling, and at that time I received a lot of help from local people here. Coming back again as an artist like this and being able to receive all of luné's warm support, I’m now delivering my gratitude in an even louder voice. "❥𓂃𓏧 240207 first paw print kanagawa (yuma day)

I was so happy to be able to spend such a happy day with so many LUNÉ members. Yesterday, we celebrated yuma's birthday with all the members, and we did it in the same room, and the team watched it. The same goes for the atmosphere, and yesterday I thought again how wonderful &TEAM is.It's not just us who created this atmosphere, but I think it's all thanks to LUNÉ and the staff who always give us great support. I am truly grateful to all the staff, and I hope that I can make even better things with the staff and come back looking cool... everyone! Please look forward to the next one! ! !

While doing this today, I remembered when I first started playing music.When I started playing music, I was running all the time with a shaved head, and that's when I saw Bruno Mars...in that video... I was so moved that I decided to quit university on the spot and pursue music, but for some reason I thought I could do it, so my family came over! No wonder they were so against it! My parents also cried a lot... They encouraged me to push through their opposition and do what I wanted to do. I went to a Bruno Mars concert! Then I saw a live performance for the first time and was moved to tears.At that time, even though we were from different countries, we were able to create a space using just the tool of music...and I was moved by that. I've come this far with the intention of becoming an artist with such empathy. That's why, whenever I write a song or create a choreography, I always try to make it resonate with as many people as possible. From now on, when I perform, I will work hard to create a performance and direction that is easier to convey to everyone, so let's continue to make many memories together.

“i was very happy today. and yesterday at the greetings i introduced myself as korea’s K, right? by any chance does anyone know what the meaning behind the name K is? (luné answers King) There’s King K, that’s right. At first, i received my name right? “from now on your name is K” “okay I understand” the director then explain that as King K, you will do perfectly at everything; singing and dancing. So that’s for King K. And really ~ Korea’s K. In Korea people are used to writing the letter K for Korea right?.. so they say the name K is good, so just like that, my name K has another meaning here in Korea.
during the performance i feel amazed and really happy. today there’s still one performance left, thank you for being together and spending a happy time like this. I will become an even cooler artist! thank you! "❥𓂃𓏧 240218 first paw print seoul (night)

"i took lessons from morning into the evening. when i got home, i couldn’t move anymore. i was worn down to the bone. after i ate dinner, i’d say to myself, ‘nah, i can’t dance anymore. i’m gonna take tomorrow off.’ and then i would watch videos of myself dancing, and i would get so frustrated at myself that i had made no progress. so, i would head to the nearby carpark to keep on practising. i’d lose track of time, and it’d be 2-3am. my parents were worried about me, thinking i was out fooling around because i wasn’t at home, so they would come out and check up on me.

on the topic of what &team has pride in; “if i could answer this seriously.. it's going to be a boring answer, but 'the amount of practice', if i have to respond right away, this is the only thing that comes to mind. i started dancing quite latem and i have a lot of friends who are already very successful as they have danced for a long time. i used to practice dancing in the parking lot until dawn with the mindset that i would become the person who practiced the most in the world. there were moments when i was having a hard time but these days when i get nervous or worried, i come to realise that during those hard times i was doing my best, so i can overcome this time too. I dont think there is going to be moment as hard as that. because i have this kind of mindset, i was able to endure challenging tasks along the way, and for the future too. this is how i have come to answer 'the amount of practice'."

earlier as yuma said, shouts debut debut with luné we are working really hard so please wait a little bit. and this was something i have said already but (i will say it again). the place that is called korea or seoul is a place that is special to me. it was here that i was going through a hard time and also it’s a place where the name k is born. i’m so touched to have performed in such a special place like this today. as there are many schedules for us to be performing here in the future, please look forward to it! i love you.."❥𓂃𓏧 240831 second to none seoul (day)

"today was really fun. like jo has said, even from the daytime performance, you’ve been supporting us super enthusiastically with really good tension (energy). i am so moved. thank you so much.
i have a story from when i was young. you know how i like to go to fortune tellers. when i was young i went to get my fortune read with my parents, of course i don’t have any memories left of that time. but i was having a meal with my family and my parents told me this story, they said that time the fortune teller said something like this. “this person will go to korea”, “this person suits being in korea well.”. i heard that’s what they said. laughswhen i came to korea, i went to get my fortune read again. because that time when 🏝️ ended actually, i was going through a hard period of time. “should i continue doing music? should i not?” these were the worries that i had. because i hadn’t been doing music for a long time and actually, i started doing music quite late. so i went to see them with those concerns. but what the fortune teller said was “you suit being in korea well”. initially i didn’t believe it, but as they have said those words so often… this time too as those memories come up again…. laughs i’ve worked hard to make it here!!so then i entered a korean company, and that has lead me to meet nice and kind hearted luné, im so happy. even right now i still think that it was the right decision to have chosen this path. as im performing today, i felt that again. so everyday im thinking of you, luné. in the future you’ll go with us forever, right? you’ll be with us, right?
thank you. i was so happy."

letter to luné
"2 years have passed since that day. those of you who waited for my debut would be very familiar with the term ‘2 years’. i’d like to tell you all the stories i wanted to tell you for the first time. not long after 🏝️ ended, i got news about a new team. i didn’t know the members, nor if i could even debut, after having companions i lived my life as a trainee putting all my efforts into debuting. i was always anxious and had inner conflicts that this project might vanish. i said i wasnt that discouraged in the interviews, but honestly i was very discouraged when i saw my friend becomes a huge star. everyday i was depressed, regretful, and blamed myself for wasting my life. i hated myself for the first time and it was the toughest time in my life. but it was always my fans who gave me the strength to go on. i saw all the videos that organised advertisements and messages, and all the letters from around the world. i know that I was the first trainee to have an ad on Times Square. that is still something l like boasting about. when it got rough, i looked at videos and letters, they made me work even harder. it must have been even tougher for you all but you lit a light in me when i was in the darkness and thanks to all that i was able to debut. that is why i always say that you are my life savers. those who got to know me after my debut kept believing in me, and warmly watching over me. i can never express my gratitude enough. thank you so much.
when i started doing music and first saw bts, i dreamt of performing globally just like them. this is a dream that will never change for me. i usually perform in japan, but being able to perform live in other countries or areas, and having luné all around the world makes me so proud. i always say this, but being a team aiming to be a global-japanese group is something filled with hardships, and there isn’t an existing roadmap so we get lost sometimes, and there’s a lot that we don’t know or wonder about. but i always look towards luné in front of us and for those lunés who are watching, we want to show you the best performances we can do, and express our gratitude through that.after we debuted in japan, we were so happy we got to work as a group in japan. and all those things which only we can do were conquered with luné by our side. so that’s something i feel so proud about. therefore there is nothing to worry about, and more than anything, if it weren’t for you, we wouldn’t have been able to go from japan to the whole world. and there’s a promise that we made with you guys.. it’s that we will aim to be japan’s best group. someday, in japan, and also in the world, we will become the top as &team and luné. i really hope to keep this great relationship and i will continue to work hard. i’m quite an honest person so sometimes i could get misunderstood, but i’ve never forgotten to stay true to the present and do my best in everything. from now on, i will keep working on this strength and stay true to my music. i want to share the things i felt with you through music. i will try my best to become an artist who can relate with as many people as possible around the world. luné, i love you with all my heart.

“older brother” “k-hyung isn’t the leader, but his aura, his character, and his consideration for others is nothing short of impressive. he has the power to bring all of us together. in that way, he has something about him that us leaders don’t have, and it helps us in guiding the team. k-hyung really is a reliable older brother.”

“k is so sincere when it comes to performing. he is constantly thinking about how our team should perform, how we can improve. we have the most confidence in our synchronicity, and the nine of us always keep that in mind when we’re performing. and k puts in a lot of work to help us maintain that as our primary weapon. he’ll tell us right away when he notices something – like he’ll tell us, ‘this part is a bit off!’. he’s different from his usual silly self when we’re performing. he takes performing seriously, and he will let us know about every tiny detail in our performance. and because of that, i believe it has helped us improve our dancing.”

“k-hyung is charisma through and through. luné already know this, but he is tall and can sing and dance. he really can do anything, but there is a cute side that only we get to see. and his clumsy side is really cute to see. (we told yuma what k said, ‘fuma and yuma are really good at breaking down what i try to say. it helps me out that they can fill in the gaps and communicate it to the members’) that’s great to hear. i can’t do it as well as fuma, but there’s an age gap among the members. so how something is worded changes how it’s perceived, which i keep that in mind when i speak.”

“even though he is a fellow member, to me, he is my number one mentor. there is a lot about him, including his dancing, that i want to incorporate and emulate myself. even though he is the oldest hyung, there is a really playful side to him. it makes it really easy for us to get along and have fun together as if we were the same age. instead of coming off as seemingly unapproachable, he seems more like the kind of person we want to tease 😆”

“compared to the two leaders, k is always hanging out with us and joking around to make us laugh. he always puts the team first. when he notices a member is not really talking, he will prompt them to talk. he is talented in that way. he is always a professional, whether it be in private or when he is performing on stage. he takes care of his body and makes sure to stretch every single day.”
❥𓂃𓏧 taki → k ; sports hochi “real” interview
“everyone might already knows this but he is really like a brother to me. I went to korea without knowing anything, I started learning how to perform on stage and how to dance from k hyung. but actually on top of that, i learnt almost everything from him - from how to exist as a person, to how to behave in the society. he always brought me to eat together as well. it's been about 5 years since i first met k hyung but even to this day im still happy when he posts photos of me on sns, and shows that he adores me. as he is the oldest member, he has the responsibility to bring everyone together as one. i think he probably has moments when he feels defeated but he has never shown that side to us. in fact it's the opposite, he is a brother that makes sure we are able to smile. he is so sincere about making music. there was a period of time in my teenage years when i often rebelled, usually it's parents that have to face this but for me it was all on k hyung.”
❥𓂃𓏧 maki → k ; sports hochi “real” interview
“k hyung is someone we can rely on. he always pushes members in various aspects and more so he makes us smile all the time. he is serious about each performance, especially in concert or special stages where we perform, he often chips in many ideas. thanks to k hyung, we are able to pull out our good side, and fun side to show luné and when luné see them, they are happy. i think because we have k hyung, we are able to stay passionate and sincere about making good work.”

"k is the member that always brings me to eat delicious food, and even to the extent of checking out the cafe that we will go afterwards to perfection. i trust him when it comes to deciding where to eat. these days, when we have a break between schedules, k takes us to where he frequents. the sashimi there was incredible. k has a habit of saying, 'someone who says they will do it tomorrow is a fool' for example when i have something to do and say im feeling off-beat, will just do it tomorrow' he will immediately say in that case let's just do it now! it really gives me the energy to start doing it. i respect his discipline in that his energy never fades when it comes to trying to show the most perfect side of himself.

choreograph by k

one of a kind
❥𓂃𓏧 i-land, the iconic 'hello'
k was voted as the leader of the dance unit. he was in charge of choreographing 'one of a kind'. after being given a compliment by son sungdeuk pd at the interim evaluation, he said that was his happiest memory in i-land so far. after the main performance, the part that k choreographed was highly praised by rain "i want to ask how he came up with the choreo with the hello move. that movement made a huge impact", and zico, "when K did one of a kind, his expression changed"

during round 3 - Seventeen's mission, each group was assigned a song which they have to create new choreograph for. k was in a group with taki, yuma, hikaru, and hayate.
"it was the part I had made (that had the choreography changed) but i changed it entirely especially the part from the interim check. i made it simpler and easier to understand so that everyone’s strengths would stand out. i changed it so we could convey the meaning of the lyrics too. "watch

“i didn’t imagine i would be selected. i created the choreography for the chorus part [of チンチャおかしい]. it was my first time choreographing cute choreo so it was awfully challenging. i choreographed it to be catchy, but neither excessively cute nor excessively cool. the song title really pops out at you so the choreography was made to live up to that poppy song title.”

チンチャおかしい (really crazy) at first paw print
[notes] if you’re familiar with bts’ boyz with fun ↗, there’s a part that changes every time according to v’s creative decision! this part of k is just like that! the members pay attention to k's dance (ad-lib) during 'i feel it, feel it baby' then follow his dance on the 'feel it, チンチャおかしい !' part before jo continues with his line in the centre.
the ad-libs were added specifically for first paw print concerts.
