SEVENTEEN confessed their dormitory experiences. On the 5th, a video titled "Are you happy that you eat well for now...?" was uploaded on the YouTube channel "Fairy Jeonghan." In the video that day, SEVENTEEN's Joshua and Mingyu made guest appearances. Jeonghan asked the two, "How many people lived in the dormitory?" Mingyu began, "The dormitory was originally divided into three..." but then said, "Brother, you talk. I talked too much," and yielded the answer to Joshua. Joshua said, "Originally, we divided the dormitory into three," then corrected himself, saying, "No. We divided it into two." Mingyu said, "Should I talk?" and elicited laughter. Joshua honestly confessed, "When I lived in the dormitory, I didn't like the mess and didn't leave my room much. Because the other members didn't clean up properly. They didn't clean up even after eating. I couldn't understand that. Mingyu and I are caring, so we cleaned up many times. But since everyone didn't clean up, I eventually gave up." Mingyu also empathized, "The members don't know gratitude," and Jeonghan muddled, "But if you're a man in your 20s..." Mingyu said, "It's the worst," and Jeonghan agreed. Joshua repeated, "It's really the worst," and Mingyu added, "This can't be glossed over," eliciting laughter. Jeonghan said, "I didn't know about cleaning back then. It's hard to understand. So there are things that are not good, and I didn't know what would happen if the dishes piled up," and Mingyu reflected on the experience of struggling, saying, "It's easy if you soak it in water right away and wash it, but if you leave it, it sticks to the pot the next morning, and if you try to wash it by hand, it becomes a big problem. It happened every day (and it was tough)." Joshua revealed, "I almost thought the clothesline stand was furniture. I took clothes out of there as they were," and Mingyu exposed, "It was like an art piece in the living room." Joshua also shared a mishap, saying, "There are times when my underwear goes missing. It bothers me a little." Mingyu confessed, "I want to stop talking about the past, but when we dance, we catch a glimpse of each other's underwear. Wasn't that mine? Even if I think so, I'm told it's not. When I'm told that, I can't say anything, and that kind of thing really happened a lot." Jeonghan asked, "Did you live in the dormitory since you were a trainee? If you started to worry about these things one by one, did it ever escalate to a fight?" Mingyu answered, "It happened a lot," while Joshua gave a conflicting answer, saying, "It didn't happen," catching attention. Mingyu, confused, said, "It didn't?" but then composed himself, saying, "I clenched my fist, but I didn't hit anyone." Joshua added, "I just raised my hand this much," explaining and eliciting laughter.
