Seventeen的官方動畫角色被揭露是由成員自己創作的。
在一個在線論壇上，網民討論了這個男子組合最近發布的一系列角色，指出在設計過程中考慮了成員的投入。據網民說，這些角色和動畫在粉絲中“極不受歡迎”，大部分反饋和反應都是負面的。
然而，Seventeen的Mingyu站出來在Weverse上分享說，他是選擇“土豆”角色的人，據報道這是Seventeen粉絲中最受歡迎的角色之一，有些人稱這個設計只是“半心半意的努力”。
Mingyu寫道："I'm sorry, Carats... lol I chose the potato... sorry... lololol."
在後續評論中，他補充說：
"lol this is so funny, and I am so embarrassed hahahahah."
"I made it when my hair was really short, so... lololol I didn’t think much of it when I made it... lol."
"lololol I am so sorry."
對於一個粉絲批評Pledis Entertainment的“糟糕的藝術品味”以一種不吸引人的方式畫土豆的特定評論，Mingyu幽默地回應：
"lol... I know... I drew it way too simply, huh... lol... Sorry, I’m the one who drew it..."
後來，Mingyu為他的設計辯護說：
"Come on, when the dolls come out, they’re going to look so cute in your room and get lots of love!"
當另一個粉絲評論說土豆是“最穩定的，因為它的體積大”，Mingyu回答：
"I asked them to make mine the biggest one lol."
網民以笑聲回應，而有些人想知道為什麼這些角色最初就不受歡迎。反應包括：
"Lol this is like the Talula meme."
"This is hilariously sad lololololol."
"This situation is so funny lololololol Mingyu-ya lol."
"They said all kinds of things, what now lol."
"Now you can self-identify as a famine-resistant crop (potato) lolol oh dear."
"lolol our Mingyu, they kept saying he would never make it into visual rankings and all that... geez, he's just adorable."
"These days, even ugly dolls are popular. Mingyu made a good choice."
"No, seriously, this is funny and sad T_T lolol The fans are now in a situation where they’re roasting him themselves."
"Complainers are always the loudest, and they spread their opinions everywhere, so even if just a few speak up, it feels like there are more of them... I wish they’d tone it down. There were so many fans who loved it T_T."
"I'm from another fandom, but tweets about the potato having bad visuals came up on my feed... I didn’t expect it to be a Talula meme situation."
"It's like dissing your own artist's bad visuals..."
"This is my first time seeing it, and it’s just cute, so why all the fuss?"
"It’s cute though lol But why is the potato so big? lol."
"Huh, what’s ugly about it? It’s all cute to me."
"I saw the character for the first time today, and it’s just adorable."
"Honestly, I thought it was cute T_T."
"The situation is hilarious lolololol They didn’t just think it was bad; they went overboard with it, trying to find reasons to keep criticizing even when they couldn't go Talula anymore. Just stop, if you don’t want it, don’t buy it."
"The member who came forward and addressed it honestly is so cute lol."
"He drew it himself? That’s adorable."
What are your thoughts?
