SEVENTEEN leader S.coups, or Choi Seungcheol in real life, has once declared how his group members meant a lot to him. And he once again proved his dedication and devotion for SEVENTEEN in a recent incident that deeply moved the group’s fans.
On Monday, September 4, S.coups posted on the group’s Weverse platform that he missed SEVENTEEN. Member Hoshi suggested that the eldest member should visit them, to which S.coups replied that he’s coming.

During the exchange, the rest of the SEVENTEEN members were already in Japan for the group’s two-day FOLLOW concert at the Tokyo Dome. However, S.coups is currently on hiatus due to his ACL injury.
It can be recalled that PLEDIS Entertainment announced in early August that S.coups had an accident while filming. Although his surgery was successful, his recovery is supposed to take a while. Which is why the agency has announced that he won’t be able to participate in SEVENTEEN’s upcoming activities.
Given his situations, fans were ready to not see S.coups for an extended period of time as he needs to focus on getting better. But it appeared that the group leader had other plans.
Surprise from S.coups!
Most of the fans thought that the exchange between S.coups and Hoshi was just their usual banter. Which is why many were astounded when the rapper followed through with his words.
Dressed in a white shirt, half-denim pants, red beanie, and a black mask, S.coups was seen in a wheelchair at the airport. Additionally, the photos and videos showed the leader’s left leg still encased in a cast.
On social media, fans were quick to applaud the idol for his loyalty to SEVENTEEN. Many fans praised him for his dedication and commitment in showing support for the group event though it was evident that he was in physical discomfort.
I just can't help but cry. He has the purest love for both his members and us, carats. 🥺❤
His eyes are smiling. As we are aware, his eyes are always sparkling brightly, and today they are dazzling!
Refrain from making negative assumptions and just trust Cheol and his… pic.twitter.com/DvwuFg53mp

how can you expect carats to lower their standards if u have a leader who can can cross oceans even when in pain; who wants everyone to be happier than him; lets management know we need subtitles and fights for what is right; gives assurances & acts on it. choi seungcheol only. pic.twitter.com/mjrsHBeoVB

do you know what's crazy to me? like yes, we're praising seungcheol for bending his back and crossing oceans for seventeen but can we also think about what seventeen did for this man to have that kind of devotion to his group? this kind of friendship is not one-sided, this kind…

Another thing that endeared CARATs was how the group members weren’t even aware of S.coups decision to go to Japan. A comment from Hoshi on Weverse showed the dancer telling the group leader that he should’ve rested more instead.

And as another proof of SEVENTEEN’s bond with each other, S.coups was also present during the first day of the group’s concert on Wednesday, September 6.
During the concert, he was even asked by the members to do the group’s usual introduction. “Successful fan,” S.coups wrote about the experience.
SEUNGCHEOL DID “SAY THE NAME” FROM THE BALCONY 😭😭😭

Currently, SEVENTEEN is having their Japan dome tour for their FOLLOW concert. It saw the return of Seungkwan, who’s been on hiatus since July.
Additionally, the group is set to return with their 11th mini-album in October. Final details about that specific comeback have yet to be announced as of writing.
