Soobin: We covered Mansae when we were trainees. It was about a week or two after entering BigHit. Back then, it was just me, Taehyun, and Yeonjun-hyung. Taehyun once said this song was really scary to him, and honestly, it really was scary. When Taehyun and I had only learned dance for about a week. Taehyun was still in middle school, and I was a freshman in high school. We were basically just little kids. But SEVENTEEN hyungs have such difficult choreography, right? And suddenly they told us to follow it. But it wasn’t even that a trainer taught us. They just told us to learn by watching the video. So it was just Taehyun and me, slowing it down to 0.5x speed and trying to copy. Of course, we couldn’t dance it properly. Taehyun already mentioned it, but yeah, we got hit back then while learning. That’s true. These days, corporal punishment isn’t allowed. But back then it happened. Nowadays, if you did that, it’d be a huge problem.

This happened around 2016, I think. I wonder what about BTS back then during the trainee period? It would be more severe? Or other lesser-known companies?
