Middle School Classmate Recalls SEVENTEEN’s Boo Seungkwan’s Act of Kindness in Standing Up Against Injustice

A comment was published on the 11th episode of “Tailored Chat” titled “SEVENTEEN vs 117kg! The Talk Show Where the Top-Tier Idol and Top-Tier Comedian Face Off” on the YouTube channel “BDNS” on the morning of July 26th.

A person identified as A, who claims to have been a former classmate of Boo Seungkwan from elementary and middle school, recounted a story. According to A, during their first year of middle school, while everyone was trying to establish their status, they were approached by a boy named B at the school store. B, who A had never met before, asked to borrow 100 won. Due to financial constraints, A explained that they did not have any money to lend. In response, B became aggressive and grabbed A by the collar, cursing at them before returning to their own classroom.

“Despite feeling scared and wronged, I was comforted when Seungkwan came over and asked why I was feeling so gloomy. After explaining the situation, he held my hand and suggested that we go together to seek an apology.”

Despite initially being afraid, A explained, “Seungkwan convinced me that if we didn’t confront the issue, it may occur again. He convinced me that it was crucial to handle the wrongdoer with firmness to prevent any future occurrences. We proceeded to B’s classroom, but when B appeared and stood before me, I was paralyzed and unable to speak.”

Seungkwan was confronted by A with a stern expression, who asked, “Did you truly believe it was acceptable to grab someone by the collar and verbally abuse them for not giving you money?”This interaction demonstrated that it is possible to assert dominance without resorting to yelling or insults.

A received a proper apology from B and was no longer mistreated, all thanks to Seungkwan.

Reflecting on Seungkwan’s dream of becoming an idol during the time of BIGBANG, A remarked, “Despite facing ridicule and scorn from his immature friends, Seungkwan always confidently expressed his desire to become an idol. Witnessing him achieve that dream is truly remarkable and commendable.”

As I observed, Seungkwan’s unwavering stance against injustice and his proactive attitude as a child were indications of his character. Even in adulthood, I believe he remains exceptional.

Ultimately, A revealed, “Fans may be familiar with this, but as a child, he had a distinctive personality which made him stand out among friends. I was worried that his serious demeanor might come across as impolite, so my brief remark ended up being a lengthy explanation.”

“In response, internet users left comments such as “Seungkwan claims to remember all of his friends, so he may recall this one as well,””Correcting a friend’s negative habits and helping them recognize their mistakes is no easy task,”and “He must have been a clever child from a young age.”
