Seventeen talked about the changes that came along with their increase in popularity.

The boy group guested on the June 21 episode of 'Weekly Idol'. The MCs commented, "It's been a year and 7 months. You guys have grown a lot", and asked, "It feels like the treatment by your label (Pledis Entertainment) would've changed with your rapid growth in popularity. How is it?"

Seventeen answered, "Now we have 2 cars. In the past, we used to share the car with staff members but we no longer do." The boys continued, "And we moved into a new dorm. The 13 members used to share 1 bathroom but now we have 3 rooms and also have 3 bathrooms."

Most members have 3 rooms for 7 people (Like GOT7, Monsta X and BTOB) ..... but 3 for 13... I need to see how big the rooms are.

Hopefully Nu'est becomes this popular and they can enjoy this too!

I'm glad their living arrangements are improving with increased popularity but I hope their sleeping arrangements progress further - 3 bedrooms for 13 people sound quite compressed to me.

3 bathrooms is still not enough for 13 people, though. Heck it's sometimes not enough for my family of 4 :D But again it would be hard to find an apartment with 7-8 bathrooms or more. Still, it's sad that they don't have private space. And I'm assuming that "cars" are minibuses, right?

What your family does in these bathroom? I share 3 bathrooms with 19 other girls and its fine O:

When i lived with my parents we had 4 bathrooms in a 5 people house.

fantasticlau Mia191919 • Wednesday, June 21, 2017

Well for example in the morning when we have limited time to poop/brush teeth/have shower sometimes all 3 bathrooms can be occupied and you have to wait but you also have to hurry or you'll be late to work/school. So I wonder how their mornings are :D

if they shower together like....4 people in one bathroom, they will save time :)))

And water!

One car for 13 members and the staff?

svt_carat dope_5 • Sunday, June 25, 2017

no it was two cars for the members and the staff. the article is translated incorrectly, they now have two cars just for the members.

Ahh, now it makes more sense. :) Thank you.

3 rooms for 13 people?!??!!? WTF. If that's how they treat you when you're popular, I wonder how they treat Nu'est. Do they all have to share 1 room. Pledis needs to start treating their artists properly if they want them to stay.

TheTgbx SahanaE • Wednesday, June 21, 2017

its not that bad??? 2 bunk beds in a room is 4 people's sleeping space, ioi had similar lay out

That is by idol standards very good treatment, you should check out how SECRET lived at the start, one room apartment in a basement with foil on the windows because they had no curtains, and Gugudan are all in one room; accommodation isn't cheap in South Korea because of a thing called 'Key Money' which is like a security deposit but instead of it being one or two months of rent in advance it's 2/3rds the total cost of the place being rented/leased so it's more like the down payment to buy the place, that makes any new place a huge investment by any company.

Nahh nu'est dorm life is fine. Anyone correct me if im wrong but I think they have 2 or 3 rooms, with minhyun/jonghyun/minki sharing and aron/dongho sleeping separately or together :)

caitlinnolly • Wednesday, June 21, 2017

hopefully the more money pledis make, the better they treat their groups... especially considering they're no longer broke af

Leila_ssss • Wednesday, June 21, 2017

I'm guessing one bathroom and one bedroom for each team

dope_5 Leila_ssss • Wednesday, June 21, 2017

Probably not strictly. :)

lighterxx Leila_ssss • Wednesday, June 21, 2017

Mingyu, Scoups, Woozi and Jeonghan was staying at the same room if im not mistaken?

Delgrantxx • Wednesday, June 21, 2017

I wish I could take care of my kids. :( I hope to see more improvements coming from Pledis.

SUGAINFIRESMAN • Wednesday, June 21, 2017

I mean that's a good change but I hope they'll move into a new dorm soon. One where at least 2 people per room but I'm still happy they have more rooms than before.
