Love comes in many forms, but our favorite would be the one that stays.
Sometimes, love is loud and demanding, like a strong presence that fills the room. Other times, it’s too quiet you couldn’t even tell for sure if it’s there. But it’s always there, isn’t it? Woven between lyrics, nestled in the spaces between heartbeats.
It’s a song playing through your headphones at the crack of dawn, telling you that you are seen; that you are heard.
Isn’t it fascinating how music becomes our refuge? How the voices of our favorite K-pop idols seep into the crevices of our solitude, filling us with warmth?
In a magazine interview, SEVENTEEN's Wonwoo expressed his appreciation for his fellow member Mingyu with the words:
"Thank you for the love that doesn't make me feel lonely."
Perhaps, fangirling is like that too. That sentiment resonates deeply with so many of us because, through K-pop, we’ve found a love that stays—even miles away; even across time zones.
In the vast expanse of fandoms, we discover kindred spirits. Late-night streaming sessions, shared tears over lyrics that hit too close to home, our collective gasp when new teasers drop, stressing over ticketing, and planning trips together to watch concerts in different stops—these moments weave us together into a tapestry of understanding, of deep connection.
And not only that! Do you also feel like you found your best friends in your favorite K-pop groups?
You’re my best friend for the rest of my life.
When it comes to our best friends, these people who have always been there for us through their music (live streams, concerts, entertainment shows), we are always so Ready to Love.
We wanted to encapsulate the essence of the love that doesn’t make us feel lonely through our newest SEVENTEEN bag—Ready to Love Moonbag. We think that the lines “can we stay together?” fit here so much.
Because that’s what love does… it lingers in the things we hold close.
So this Valentine’s Day, let’s celebrate that love—the kind that doesn’t ask for anything in return, the kind that reminds us we belong. To our favorite artists who have unknowingly become our safe space, to the friends we’ve made along the way, and to the versions of ourselves that feel a little less alone because of it.
Thank you, truly, for the love that doesn’t make us feel lonely. ♡
