This song is inspired by hoshi where he said something wrong in a concert which may hurt the members and during their debriefing he said “sorry, it’s also my first time living today” and woozi got inspired and wrote this song. That’s why there is a tiger at the end as a tribute HORANGHAE (signature of hoshi)
So, what i got from the mv is there are some kind of troupe.. Woozi= he got social anxiety, that's why in the mv he used the robot to continue his life outside Jeonghan= as for jeonghan he's scared of reality and the future that's why he use the glasses Dk= for Dk, he symbolize the student who got stressed from studying too much, the rock in the mv symbolize Dk's wish to become a rock so he can do nothing in his life Joshua= Joshua symbolize a worker who always looking around to see if anyone need their help, who always tried to be a perfect partner for their co-worker.. simillar to a meerkat Seungkwan= for Seungkwan, he suffered from loneliness, at the start of the mv showed him trying to call someone but no one answered, that's why his phone turned into a fish to accompany him And for tiger at the end of the mv is like a credit for Hoshi because Hoshi inspired Woozi to make this song, i guess it was when they were practicing with the rest of the member and Hoshi made a mistake, he then apologized and said "i'm sorry, this is my first time living too"
The following are my personal thoughts regarding the MV. I posted this under another reaction and am just cutting/pasting here; so it will repeat some of what others have already shared with you. Here goes... Joshua ("Shua") has been likened to a meerkat by fans so it fits; and I guess he's wondered if he was lovingly called that or not, only to find he has a SHUA KAT fan club. Someone else explained it like this: "JOSHUA is an office worker who is like a meerkat, cause he seems to be looking at everyone, monitoring them. Turns out, in the note with the umbrella, it said Joshua Daeri-nim (Assistant Manager Joshua) meaning he must be at least a position higher than most of those around him. The reason why he's looking around is either cause he's a supervisor to them or he's anxious of what others might think about him, if he's doing a good job. He seems to be stressed about it that he even dreams about it, falling asleep in his car. Unknowingly, his colleagues actually support him, even having a Shua-kat Club. The note on the umbrella said 'Asst. Manager Joshua, thank you for lending me your umbrella' and we see him at the MV's beginning, how he's rained on. He also found a flyer with his photo that said 'We love how you look at us. Keep looking around like a meerkat and we will support you whatsoever, Shua-kat!'. Seems he himself didn't know that he's actually doing great in his job being an assistant manager." POLAROID CAPTION: 'With the Shua-kat Club' BY THE WAY, did you see Jeonghan holding "Shua" (meerkat) in his lap? He said it was nipping at him the whole time, so he sat really still so it wouldn't bite him! He said it was really very cute, though. :) Woozi has said many times he HATES shopping, so he has groceries and food delivered; he even said in the behind the scenes video that the MV character actually fit him really well. So I think it's precious that when he finally overcomes his social anxiety to go shopping for himself, he thanks the helpful grandmother (a tip of the hat to his own grandmother who inspired the Vocal team's first song "20", as well as to Carats since it's the official flower of Carats) by giving her a bouquet of chamomiles. Chamomiles also represent calm and healing. POLAROID CAPTION: 'My friend who brought me out into the world' DK's pet rock's name is Dodol. He "adopted" a rock after Jeonghan got HIS pet rock named Doljjong. They take turns sharing pictures and updates on Weverse about their rocks, since the rocks keep them company. Perhaps DK is setting Dodol free...a way of releasing an inanimate rock and opening himself up to relationship with humans. (??) I think his line "I want to be by myself, but I don't want to be alone" as he keeps Dodol by his side is the story. (For the record, Jeonghan said THEIR pet rocks weren't thrown, though DK said Dodol WAS in the video with him...but it isn't his picture with the trophy. It was someone else's. So no pet rocks were harmed in the filming of this MV!) POLAROID CAPTION: 'With Dolkyeong, who won first place in the idling contest' Seungkwan LOVES his phone and has said he wouldn't be able to live without it. The caller on the phone reads "Unknown Caller" in Korean by the way. I also can't help but wonder if it's a little tribute to Moonbin who doesn't call him anymore; and one of the last videos we saw of Seungkwan and Moonbin together were them riding bikes...?? As for the goldfish, many are theorizing that it represents a distraction...something to snap him out of his funk and go outside. POLAROID CAPTION: 'I hope the day will come when my noisy alarm is less annoying" Jeonghan has said he doesn't like getting older as his eyesight is getting a little bad. That's one interpretation. Another is that as he matures, he realizes he doesn't need glasses to see the truth..."Forever Is A Lie"...and as he enters the T[iny]Issue Club with glasses on, his POV sees them as their characters (goldfish, pet rock, meerkat, phone screen, etc.), and they then come into clear view as the members when the glasses are fully off. It's possible he's reflecting on his soon enlisting...meaning this happy time in Seventeen's life won't last forever. Of course, Seventeen will ALWAYS live forever in our hearts; and the interruptions while members serve out their time will end and they'll regroup. POLAROID CAPTION: 'Look directly at it, without glasses' So each member brought their fears, concerns, anxieties and heartaches to the Tiny Issue Club, or TIssue Club where they were able to talk things out, gain support and find REAL friends. I LOVE how Seventeen tackles the REAL issues of people today, and never fails to give hope, support and comfort. ***Here is what was written on the poster of the T(iny)ISSUE CLUB (taken from a Twitter post):"Small Problems, Big Solutions!

And seriously...I ABSOLUTELY ADORE how Woozi thanked Hoshi for inspiring the song! "It just so happens that it's my first time living today" is what Hoshi said when he made some mistake in one of the concerts; and Woozi took that inspiration to make this masterpiece. I know Jeonghan said adding the tiger at the end was more of a joke, because thinks he's a tiger...and that's an issue! So he should be part of that club, too! Yet I still prefer the sweetness of Woozi thanking him for the inspiration. Horanghae forever!!
Now...the below are not MY thoughts or comments. I'm sharing what I found under another reaction video as I liked what was shared. SEUNGKWAN is someone who seems to be always on the edge, either cause of constant calls or his alarms. I feel like he's got a lot of deadlines to beat that when his phone fell into the fishtank and turned into a fish, he wanted to get it fixed cause he knows he needed it for his daily life but neither a fisherman nor the Oppo staff accepted to fix it he then just made it into a pet fish, even showing it to DK (who had a pet rock ) and at the end his polaroid said 'I hope the day would come when my noisy alarm is less annoying'. His one way of reducing stress? Popping bubble wrap, which is probably so relatable with a lot of people. WOOZI, who in real life we know is an introvert and doesn't really like going out, has a robot who even does the errands for him, like doing the grocery. But being alone only with his robot friend, he eventually felt like there's a missing piece of him as he was doing the puzzle. He tried to overcome his situation and visited the supermarket himself and gave flowers to the grandma staff, probably a way of thanking her. Somehow it feels to me that it's a way of saying we might rely on AI/robots but having to feel that connection with another person still gives a different, warmer feeling. AI/technology can be a friend but let's not forget about human relationships too. DOKYEOM is a young adult who seems to be struggling and coping with stress in his studies and life in general. While this is relatable everywhere else, I feel like it's especially true in South Korea where they put value in studying and grades so much that a lot would say, 'Grades aren't everything'. His way of coping is to have a pet rock (who even won a trophy ). On his exam paper (apparently like an MBTI one taken when you apply for jobs), he even wrote Dol (rock) instead of the answer In one scene at the T(iny)ISSUE CLUB, he himself was the rock which what he also probably feels at times, that he is a Dol Meori (rock head) or someone whose head doesn't absorb anything/someone who isn't bright. Incidentally, I came across a video which claims that young people in SoKor now take rocks as pets to cope with stress since rocks are easier to take care of. I'm not sure tho how true this is but the video did include a clip of Jeonghan and his own pet rock, Doljjong, so some say JH was the one who started this trend Towards the end, we see DK throwing his pet rock away with Jeonghan, probably to symbolize him breaking out of his mindset that he'd never do good with his studies. JOSHUA is an office worker who is like a meerkat, cause he seems to be looking at everyone, monitoring them. Turns out, in the note with the umbrella, it said Joshua Daeri-nim (Assistant Manager Joshua) meaning he must be at least a position higher than most of those around him. The reason why he's looking around is either cause he's a supervisor to them or he's anxious of what others might think about him, if he's doing a good job. He seems to be stressed about it that he even dreams about it, falling asleep in his car. Unknowingly, his colleagues actually support him, even having a Shua-kat Club the note on the umbrella said 'Asst. Manager Joshua, thank you for lending me your umbrella' and we see him at the MV's beginning, how he's rained on. He also found a flyer with his photo that said 'We love how you look at us. Keep looking around like a meerkat and we will support you whatsoever, Shua-kat!'. Seems he himself didn't know that he's actually doing great in his job being an assistant manager. JEONGHAN seems to be suffering from a physical disability that he feels an inferiority complex about it. But during their T(iny)ISSUES meeting, when he took off his glasses, he actually saw everyone in a different light. I feel like he tends to downplay his capabilities and feel he's not good enough when in fact, he didn't really need the glasses. The board he was reading when his eyesight was getting checked said FOREVER IS A LIE. In the end, he also threw his glasses away (in another fishtank) and in his polaroid shot, it said 'Look directly at it, without glasses'. I think in a way, it also gives the message that we shouldn't overcomplicate things at times. See them as they are.
Seventeen es un gran grupo de confort, la verdad. Yo empecé a escucharlos cuando comencé a trabajar y estudiar la mismo tiempo y puedo decir que me acompañaron en más de un burnout.
In case you'd also like to check out, Seventeen had their own episodes of Game Cateres with all 13 of them and it's twice as hilarious with all of them there! 😁😉
Wonderful reaction❤! I recommend reacting to all my love acoustic version , same mind same dream same night live, kidult live or to you live cool songs I really like them, hope you react to them I will always waiting ❤!

So, what i got from the mv is there are some kind of troupe..
Woozi= he got social anxiety, that's why in the mv he used the robot to continue his life outside
Jeonghan= as for jeonghan he's scared of reality and the future that's why he use the glasses
Dk= for Dk, he symbolize the student who got stressed from studying too much, the rock in the mv symbolize Dk's wish to become a rock so he can do nothing in his life
Joshua= Joshua symbolize a worker who always looking around to see if anyone need their help, who always tried to be a perfect partner for their co-worker.. simillar to a meerkat
Seungkwan= for Seungkwan, he suffered from loneliness, at the start of the mv showed him trying to call someone but no one answered, that's why his phone turned into a fish to accompany him
And for tiger at the end of the mv is like a credit for Hoshi because Hoshi inspired Woozi to make this song, i guess it was when they were practicing with the rest of the member and Hoshi made a mistake, he then apologized and said "i'm sorry, this is my first time living too"
next recommendations
vocal unit: habit
hiphop unit: fire
performance unit: i dont understand but i love you
Totally agree! They are their best songs
6:09 they are not called shuakats. It's a combo of Joshua and meerkats, which is the animal.😅 Anyways, thanks for reacting ❤
AAAAAH, that's true😅😅

BY THE WAY, did you see Jeonghan holding "Shua" (meerkat) in his lap? He said it was nipping at him the whole time, so he sat really still so it wouldn't bite him! He said it was really very cute, though. :)
