relearning their history once again was such a relish. it was an experience each army needed to know. they have toiled hard together and achieved success together. youth in today's generation won't be wrong when following their core values. it was such a bitter sweet experience while reading their story coming straightly from them and knowing their side of the story. i never regretted that I became army and i will never regret it. i am still proud and loud in the years to come because I know that they value us who supported them wholeheartedly. this book is a great way to let the general public know what they have been through and to inspire people. never lose sight of your goals. your path may change but never ever lose it. i guess it was one of the reason why they are still here.💜

Beautifully written. Both heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time. Goes to show that these 7 men are real people with real challenges that earned them the success they have now.

Absolutely beautifully written. Tell us the full story of their journey, their inner thoughts and tidbits of their life. Their experience that led them to where they are today and how they give back to ARMY is everything. Beautiful human beings, passionate and tough. A great book for anyone who wants to understand how the entertainment industry works, tidbits of trainee life and debuted idols facing different crisis. They found their own voice, had character growth and gain love and support from people who love them. These 7 men deserve lot more in the future. May they always be happy and loved.
