How SEVENTEEN Assigns Their Dorm Rooms: A Fun and Dynamic Process

 

Step 1: Understanding Personal Preferences

The first step SEVENTEEN takes in assigning dorm rooms is considering each member’s personal preferences. Each member has different needs and wants, which are taken into account to ensure everyone feels comfortable.

“Who wants the quiet room?” Joshua might ask, eyeing a cozy corner of the dorm. Woozi, ever the introvert, quickly raises his hand, “I’ll take it. I need to work on some music tonight.” Woozi’s need for a peaceful environment reflects his dedication to crafting songs, often preferring solitude to focus on his work.

On the other hand, the more social members, like Hoshi, might jump at the chance to room with more people. “I’m all in for the big room! Let’s make it a party,” Hoshi might say with his usual enthusiasm, eager to keep the lively energy going even when they’re off stage. Seungkwan, ever the extrovert, would likely chime in, “Count me in! It’ll be like a sleepover every night.” Their desire to create a fun, interactive atmosphere shows how much they value their time together, even during downtime.

Then there’s someone like Jeonghan, who might say, “I just want a room with a good view.” Jeonghan’s laid-back attitude could make him flexible about who he rooms with, as long as he gets to enjoy some natural light and a nice scenery outside the window. These preferences highlight how SEVENTEEN’s room assignments often reflect each member’s unique personality.

Step 2: Balancing Group Dynamics

After considering individual preferences, SEVENTEEN ensures that the group dynamics are balanced. They know the importance of mixing members from different units—vocal, performance, and hip-hop—to strengthen their overall cohesion.

“Should we mix things up a bit?” DK might suggest during one of their discussions. “I think it’d be fun to room with someone from a different unit this time. How about it, Mingyu?”

Mingyu, always up for something new, might grin and reply, “Sounds good to me! Let’s see what new combos we can come up with.” By mixing different units together, they not only keep their bonds strong across the entire group but also learn from each other’s strengths. For instance, having someone from the vocal unit room with a member of the performance unit could lead to impromptu practice sessions or creative brainstorming.

Wonwoo might add, “It’ll be nice to change the vibe a bit. I’ve been rooming with the same people for a while now.” This approach ensures that no cliques form within the group, keeping their dynamics fresh and their relationships strong.

Step 3: The Classic Rock-Paper-Scissors Showdown

Sometimes, even after discussing preferences and dynamics, the decision-making process hits a stalemate. That’s when SEVENTEEN turns to their trusted method: rock-paper-scissors. This simple game is their go-to solution for resolving any indecision.

“Okay, there’s one bed left. How do we decide?” asks Vernon, looking around at the others. Without missing a beat, Hoshi enthusiastically suggests, “Rock-paper-scissors! It’s the only way!”

The group gathers around, and the tension builds as they play. “Rock, paper, scissors, shoot!” they chant in unison, bursting into laughter as the winner triumphantly claims the last bed. The process is quick, fair, and always ends with smiles and laughter. Sometimes, the intensity of the game itself adds an extra layer of fun, with members like S.Coups or Minghao throwing in a playful twist or a bit of friendly trash talk.

“Best two out of three?” Dino might suggest after a close match, his competitive streak showing. The others would cheer him on, turning a simple game into an entertaining group event. It’s in moments like these that SEVENTEEN’s bond is most evident—they turn even the smallest decisions into opportunities for team building and shared enjoyment.

Step 4: Considering Space and Comfort

Given the size of SEVENTEEN, their dorms usually have rooms of varying sizes. Some rooms can comfortably fit four members, while others are better suited for just two. They make sure to consider the space and comfort of each room when assigning them.

“This room’s pretty spacious. Maybe four of us can fit in here?” suggests S.Coups, the leader, always thinking about practicality. His leadership role often has him considering what’s best for the group as a whole, ensuring that everyone has enough space to unwind after a long day.

“I think so too,” Jun might add. “It’s got a great view too. Let’s claim this one.” Jun’s appreciation for aesthetics might make him keen on picking rooms with the best lighting or the most scenic outlook.

But when they come across a smaller room, Dino might point out, “This one’s cozy. Maybe just two of us should stay here?” To which someone like Woozi, who enjoys his personal space, would quickly agree, “Perfect, I’ll take it!”

They are mindful of creating a comfortable living environment that meets everyone’s needs. For instance, Vernon might prefer a room with fewer distractions so he can unwind with a book or his music collection, while someone like Seungkwan might prefer a room where he can chat late into the night without bothering others.

Step 5: Flexibility and Open Communication

SEVENTEEN values flexibility and open communication in their living arrangements. If any member feels uncomfortable or wants to change rooms, they are encouraged to speak up.

“Actually, I think I’d prefer a quieter room this time,” Jeonghan might say after the initial assignments are made. The group’s response is always supportive, with someone like Wonwoo replying, “No problem! Let’s switch things around. We want everyone to be comfortable.”

Minghao might also share, “I’ve been thinking about moving to a different room. I feel like I could use a change of scenery.” His willingness to voice his needs reflects the open environment within the group, where each member’s comfort is a priority.

This open dialogue ensures that everyone remains happy with their room assignments and that any potential issues are addressed promptly. Whether it’s making sure that the introverts have their space or that the social butterflies have their community, SEVENTEEN’s room assignment process is all about balance, communication, and mutual respect.
