#varsity*

what does varsity mean? according to leader bullet junwoo, “VARSITY means representative team and shows our big aspirations to advance in korean and in the world, and become a representative in the music industry.” (c: varsity_sg)

because they have both korean, chinese & english native speakers in the group, other members serve as translators in the group

from seungbo: “jaebin who can’t speak korean will translate it into chinese right away if he understands it. if that doesn’t work, I speak to anthony in english and he will translate it in chinese. I can’t feel any inconvenience since we’ve done it like that for a long time” (trans: varsity_sg)
