Seven

Heart of Stone (Yugyeom)

"Died."

If you want to compare loyalty, then it's easy to believe that Yugyeom comes out on top. Ever since he debuted with Got7, he's done nothing but be a good sport and a team player. HIs mother didn't want him to become an idol, but he begged for that one chance to prove himself.

Yugyeom always liked dancing since he was a teenager. He's proven that he's a capable dancer and even helped choreograph for Got7's routines. But that natural talent is exactly why it's easy to put him in a box and leave him there, just like Jane Seymour.

He spent about two years training before debuting. It's obvious that he had skill in dancing, which he showed on several variety shows and even on competition shows like Hit The Stage.

"You came my way, and I knew a storm could come too. You'd lift me high or let me fall."

Yugyeom begged for a chance to show what he could do, and JYP gave him that chance. I'm sure he believed that he could end up disappointing his family or other members if he didn't work hard enough. As the youngest member, he had more pressure to show he could stand with the others. This is similar to Jane in the musical, who constantly has to remind others that she was in the same position as the other ex-wives, even if it doesn't seem that way.

He has had chances to show some more skills other than dancing. He did some co-hosting, some song-writing for albums. But he didn't do a lot of other promotions. He became one half of the subgroup Jus2 with JB in 2018, which gave him some time to shine and show what he could do.

Out of all the Got7 members, Yugyeom never had anything negative to say about JYP. At least, not anything that springs to mind the way it does with the others. When the others would joke about things, Yugyeom would laugh along but he never seemed to start any of those jokes or rumors himself. In other words, he put up a front of being okay with their situation as it was.

Yugyeom as the youngest would get picked on by the other members (not in a mean way, but just because the others are older and liked to mess with him). There were two separate pranks where they pretended that Yugyeom had either held them up from practicing like they should, or where he broke something worth a lot of money that he would have to pay for. I think those kinds of things made him harden himself to reacting too quickly to situations around him. Because what if it is another prank? What if he's just freaking out for no reason?

I think around the year before their departure, there may have been some notice that Yugyeom was unhappy with his situation. He made his first solo magazine debut in 2020, much later than all the other members. He also appeared as a contestant on the King of Mask Singer. It was almost like they were trying to salvage something by promoting him differently than they had before.

But it's obvious those ideas came too late.

In Heart of Stone, Jane Seymour's lyrics show that everything seemed picture-perfect in her life. But she also knows her own worth and knows that she is stronger than whatever is being thrown at her. Yugyeom seemed to have this idea as well, moving on to his new company AOMG and throwing himself into his work. Not just for the company, but for himself.

In the musical's finale, Jane says that if she didn't get married to Henry, she wanted to create her own band and tour with her family. Now that Yugyeom is no longer with JYP, he's been doing a lot of experimenting with his own songs and music videos. The ones that been produced under AOMG show him in a completely different light than the ones from JYP. And whether that's his own idea or if the producers there are just willing to try something new to keep things interesting, it's a change for the better. It shows that Yugyeom is more than just a dancer and he always has been.

They're also promoting him differently. He was featured for an interview for the March 2021 issue of Korea. He's released his first full track with several collaborations with other hip-hop artists. He also released two music videos and his first solo EP in June of 2021. It's obvious that he was surviving with JYP, but thriving under his new album, and we couldn't wish for anything more for him.

It's going to be exciting to see what he does next now that he can soften that heart of stone and be his own artist.

The day after Anne's execution, Henry VIII was engaged to marry Jane Seymour. Like Anne, she had been a maid of honor to the queen before her. However, she was not as well educated as the two wives before her, with her talents lying in areas including needlework and similar household chores that were considered more suitable for women at the time. 

Jane was never actually crowned publicly due to a plague during the time of her reign. Her public sympathy for the two queens before her and treating their children as her own led her to be seen as a compassionate and caring queen. This third marriage finally saw Henry get the son he'd been desiring. Edward became the only legitimate heir of Henry's to survive infancy (and he eventually did take the throne) although it came with a price. Jane became ill after giving birth and died only a few weeks after. 

She was the only wife to receive a queen's funeral and be buried near Henry's eventual resting place. He waited two years after her death before taking his fourth wife.
