SEVENTEEN’s S.Coups And Dino Show Their Brotherhood In A Leader X Maknae Interview

Every K-Pop group has a leader responsible for the group and a maknae responsible for the group’s energy. They are two well-loved positions of great importance… until you get to SEVENTEEN. While the positions are still important, they regard each member as equals in everything they do, as you’ll see below.

Sports Seoul recently released several interviews of the leaders and maknaes of a few K-Pop groups to ask how they felt in that position. Today, we’re taking a look at SEVENTEEN’s interview!

Let’s see what leader S.Coups has to say!

Q: What’s your favorite thing about being the leader?

There’s nothing good about being a leader. I’m just a member.

—S.Coups

Q: What’s difficult about being a leader?

Being a leader isn’t difficult. The leader is just a member.

—S.Coups

Q: Do you envy the maknae (Dino)?

I don’t. The maknae is just a member.

—S.Coups

Q: If you could be born again in the same group, would you be the leader or the maknae?

I would be thankful to be a member.

—S.Coups

Q: Words of encouragement to the maknae for the new year?

Happy New Year, maknae.
