EXO’s Suho revealed that his worries as a leader never end. On the 21st, a video titled “If you debuted again, would you be a leader or not?” was released on the YouTube channel “Channel Half Moon.” On this day, Suho, along with SECHSKIES’ Eun Ji-won, SEVENTEEN’s S.Coups, and BOYNEXTDOOR’s Jaehyun, held a talk as the leaders of their respective groups. S.Coups mentioned the group’s youngest member Dino and said, “No matter how good the older brothers are, it must be hard if you have 12 older brothers,” and revealed that after recently seeing Dino release a solo album and appear on programs, he felt that Dino must have had a lot of hardships. In response, Jaehyun said, “If the oldest and the youngest do their roles well, I feel like the group runs well.” S.Coups said, “We have been making it that way since the trainee days,” and revealed that the members have not changed from their trainee days to the present, drawing surprise. Eun Ji-won also said, “There is no correct answer, but if you look at the path so far, it means your way was right,” and praised S.Coups, saying, “It is not easy for 13 people to stay together for more than 10 years. You really did well.” Suho said, “Sometimes, I have regrets,” and drew attention by confessing, “I also sometimes think that maybe I should have led (EXO) like S.Coups.” In response, Eun Ji-won praised Suho, saying, “You also led EXO this far in your own way.” ・EXO’s Suho, Lee Seung-gi, ATEEZ’s JONGHO, and 14 others appear!
