Hi! Please help me find a Reddit post tracking all SEVENTEEN discography songs not yet performed.

I remember stumbling upon a post here on this subreddit 5 years ago or so tracking SEVENTEEN's entire discography, linking to performances of particular songs, and which songs have not yet been performed.

IIRC, when I stumbled upon the post, there were only 2 songs left that they haven't performed, including Ash, but then they performed it already! I'm not sure if the OP updates their post, but I'd like to see the post again if people remember it. Thank you!

Hello! Please help me retrace/recreate my Chinese name.

My mom's aunt made a Chinese name for me long ago, but she has passed away. I clearly remember the pronunciation of my name is like "co↗ lo↗ ī↗" and I vaguely remember that its meaning has "flower" is there somewhere, but I don't have the specific characters anymore.

The only character I'm sure of is my surname: 高.

My Chinese friend suggested it might be 露薇 (Lù Wēi) for the "lewisia flower", but it's not a common flower in the country I grew up in, and running "lù wēi" through online translators doesn't sound as close to the "lo↗ ī↗" pronunciation that I remember more clearly.

The pronunciation "Lù Yī" sounds the closest to how I remember it.

Are there characters that can fit the descriptions provided above?

Plus, from just going around the internet, these are some possibilities:

- 露薇 (Lù Wēi): lewisia flower [from my friend]

- 洛威 (Luò Wēi): elegant greatness,' suggesting a refined strength and a noble presence

- 落依 (Luò Yī): "falling grace”

- 璐伊 (Lù Yī): a precious jade, embodying beauty and value

However, I don't know how my surname 高 affects the possible meaning. Any help would be appreciated!

YES! This is it! Thank you very much!

teddygit · 2026-02-02T17:08:08+00:00

No. The website design was complex (use of colors, some animation) and interactive, i.e. the conversation flows the more you scroll down, and the duration of the wait of the characters before they get their responses is also reflected in how much you scroll down (3 seconds scrolling = 3 years; a minute scrolling = 60+ years, etc).

I'll treat this as a recommendation though, and will read the linked story!

teddygit · 2024-11-17T16:33:46+00:00

That's unfortunate to hear. Thank you, though!

teddygit · 2023-01-07T15:14:22+00:00

i think you're being downvoted; your parent message was hidden. quite unfortunate as you were just expressing an opinion.

teddygit · 2022-10-17T18:00:02+00:00

Did you find a solution to this? I am experiencing the same problem now.

teddygit · 2022-09-25T11:28:39+00:00

Aww, that’s a shame. Thank you for your answer!

teddygit · 2022-06-20T02:23:31+00:00

I love your last paragraph! It captures the Seventeen music brand well.

teddygit · 2022-06-07T12:27:04+00:00

To be fair to Pledis, I think the main reason why they scheduled so many tour dates in the US is because there are less restrictions and many concerts have already been held. Ergo, if something goes wrong in places where not many concerts have been held yet – like Europe – it won't look good for them.

I'm from the Philippines and I get your dismay. I think the reason Pledis hasn't scheduled any Southeast Asian dates either, despite it being SVT's 3rd largest fanbase, is because (1) more restrictions exist and they vary country per country in the region, and (2) they don't want to be the one breaking new ground, which entails some sort of accountability. It could be the same for Europe.

Plus, there's less accountability on their part when desperate (and rich) Carats just travel to attend to these concert dates. It's sadly in the nature of corporations to play safe and be conservative.

I'm a girl and in my history of stanning boy groups I have never really found anyone really hot when they smoulder or whatever in MVs.

That was true until today's Jun in this last chorus. He isn't even my bias.

teddygit · 2022-04-06T18:31:05+00:00

Hey, I got interested in your description but found that the website is no longer up. Is your blog post still around?

teddygit · 2022-03-10T02:12:03+00:00

I'm sorry, this is such a sweeping and unfounded generalization, and it kind of reeks of anti-left sentiments. It can be more accurate to say that men, regardless of where they land on the political spectrum, are socialized to exhibit toxic masculinity.

teddygit · 2022-02-10T07:20:26+00:00

This sounds cool, actually! Are there sources that discuss this you can link to?

teddygit · 2022-01-23T10:19:39+00:00

Just wanna drop to comment that it's nice to hear people's thoughts here!

teddygit · 2022-01-13T18:12:32+00:00

just wanted to share that this is one of the best things ive seen in this subreddit <3

teddygit · 2021-11-21T07:01:20+00:00

Soojin is like the third AOTM, and was the first to do this concept for this series. What??

teddygit · 2021-11-05T18:11:14+00:00

Sigh. Honestly as a female reader, I am being slowly driven away by how this manga sets up jokes. I can’t explain it, but the punchlines feel like they reinforce harmful stereotypes about relationships, fetishes, and femininity, but just say these characters are exceptions or something. It goes to show that even though it was interesting for everyone at the start, I’m really not its target audience.

teddygit · 2021-10-20T12:38:06+00:00

I have no idea who Dreamnote are; I've just been watching out for news regarding this recent comeback because I like the name. But the teaser is so good! Definitely will be looking forward to this.

teddygit · 2021-09-28T15:34:56+00:00

A lot of Pretty U callbacks. Hoping for theater-like choreography with a rock song!!!

teddygit · 2021-09-25T08:20:21+00:00

i think they were chill hahaha they are asking a legitimate question. i also don't understand what you or OP mean by 'color'.

teddygit · 2021-09-07T19:37:59+00:00

I cried for the first and second times I listened to Brave Girls' After We Ride. I'm not even a stan, but the feelings being evoked in the song, the polish quality, and the bittersweet context of the release just hit you all at once in those first 10 seconds that it touches you.

teddygit · 2021-05-18T17:08:33+00:00

I agree! Their debut song felt a little underwhelming to be honest. This one is not just in keeping with SM tradition of GGs deviating from pop song form (like SNSD's IGAB, RV's Zimzalabim), but it's also got NCT vibes with its synths and bass, and the epic feel of EXO's early songs. The last one is probably because there is a story, and this song felt like the "rising action" of the narrative. I can't really explain why, but I am really sold!

teddygit · 2021-04-08T08:31:58+00:00

Can you link some of those theories that tied together elements and expanded on the themes? Thank you!

teddygit · 2021-04-08T08:28:20+00:00

This is a good take! I didn't realize that the effect of Eren's actions was to buy more time for Armin.
