Hoshi might be a senior idol, but the SEVENTEEN member still gets flustered by questions about his love life. In an upcoming appearance on a variety show, Kwon Soon-young was asked if he has ever had a girlfriend and his response was hilariously endearing.

SEVENTEEN Member Hoshi Quickly Dispels Girlfriend Question

Despite their years in the industry, SEVENTEEN can still be flustered when asked about dating. In a recent teaser for the popular variety show “Running Man”, Hoshi was caught off guard by a question about dating, leading to an amusing moment that entertained fans.

“Have you ever had a girlfriend like that?” the host asked. In response, Hoshi said, “Never—I don’t know.”

This cautious response from Hoshi is often seen as an effort to maintain their idol image and not disclose personal details about their dating life. It’s not uncommon for K-Pop idols to keep their dating lives private, as this can impact their fan base. Fans often admire and support their idols, and the prospect of them dating can also create mixed emotions among fans.

Hoshi’s flustered reaction in the teaser is in contrast with soloist Jeon So Mi, who was also asked about her love life during a live broadcast. The “Dumb Dumb” singer had a witty and quick response, claiming she wouldn’t be eating undercooked pasta if she was busy dating.

For K-Pop idols, balancing their personal lives and their public image can be a delicate matter, and they often receive guidance on how to handle personal questions in interviews and variety shows. These moments of hesitation and humor also endear the idols to their fans, as they see their favorite artists navigate the challenges of fame with grace and professionalism.

Hoshi’s “Running Man” episode is set to air on October 22, 2023. In the meantime, SEVENTEEN is also preparing for their latest comeback with the mini-album ‘SEVENTEENTH HEAVEN’ on October 23, 2023.
