Netizens Are Shocked At How Much Samuel Has Grown As He Reunites With SEVENTEEN’s Woozi For The “MAESTRO” Challenge

Samuel trained to be a SEVENTEEN member, but didn’t debut with them.

Before SEVENTEEN debuted, netizens watched the members train and interact with each other. One of the OG trainees who sadly didn’t debut was Samuel, who left the company in 2013 because his mom thought he was too young to be an idol, which is entirely reasonable, as he was only 11 years old at the time!

While netizens were sad not to see Samuel debut with the members, there have been many interactions between them all, whether it was on a Chinese show, The Collaboration with Jun and The8, or on variety shows and even at the ISACs.

On May 2, netizens couldn’t hide their shock and emotions when a TikTok challenge was posted for “MAESTRO,” and it involved Woozi and Samuel. As expected, both absolutely slayed the difficult challenge, and it’s easy to imagine a world where Samuel had debuted in SEVENTEEN and was part of the song.

As the song came to an end, the two idols came together before having the classic transition to finish the video.

When the video was posted, social media was flooded with so many emotions. On X, fans shared moments in the past with Woozi and Samuel, showing just how much they’ve both grown over the years.
