The toothbrush mix-up

The episode began with the group’s arrival in Italy, where they moved into small rooms with bunk beds. DK, Hoshi, Joshua, and Mingyu found themselves sharing one of these rooms. Everything appeared to be going smoothly until a surprising incident the next morning: Hoshi discovered that DK had used his toothbrush.

At first, DK didn’t realize the mix-up but acknowledged the mistake upon finding his toothbrush in his drawer. In lieu of an apology, DK offered his unused toothbrush to Hoshi. Surprisingly, Hoshi accepted this offer without any reservations and casually asked if he had any toothpaste to share. This exchange, involving a highly personal item like a toothbrush, left fans both amused and shocked at their nonchalant attitude. Even Joshua, witnessing this exchange, was visibly surprised by their approach to the situation.

DK, noticing Joshua’s astonishment, tried to ease the tension with a lighthearted comment. “What?! We’re family! Who cares?!” he said with a laugh. This incident not only showcased the strong bond between the members but also became a topic of conversation among fans, highlighting the deep camaraderie within the group.

Apart from the toothbrush incident, the show’s second episode was a hit for other reasons. Fans enjoyed seeing the members explore Italy like tourists. The segment where SEVENTEEN played games to win money for their trip also received a positive reception.

In the midst of their performance, a choreographic sequence led Hoshi to the side of the stage. It was at this moment that Hoshi chose to steal even more hearts by spontaneously organizing a mini hi-touch event for the fans present.

SEVENTEEN’s Hoshi Shares Cute Interaction with NewJeans

The famed HYBE building certainly has its perks. SEVENTEEN’s Hoshi recently gave fans an intriguing look behind the scenes at HYBE, including details about the company’s artist-only elevator that led to a cute interaction with a younger group.

Hoshi Reveals How HYBE Building Led to Cute Interaction With NewJeans

In a recent episode of “Salon Drip”, Hoshi began discussing the various perks and features at HYBE, such as the impressive standards for ramen at the company. Host Jang Do Yeon asked about the elevators in their office, specifically mentioning the existence of an artist-exclusive elevator.

Hoshi explained that HYBE has just one elevator designated for artists, even though the company houses numerous renowned stars. This often results in a bit of a wait, given the demand.

The SEVENTEEN member delved further into the layout of the building, sharing that there is a separate floor dedicated to artist parking. When artists reach the elevator, it only stops at certain floors, including the artist lounge and recording areas. Due to the limited options and the sheer number of idols using the elevator, it can sometimes mean a substantial wait to get to the main parking area.

Hoshi humorously recounted an unexpected encounter he had due to these elevator logistics. On one occasion, while waiting for the elevator, the doors opened to reveal the members of NewJeans inside. Despite Hoshi’s confident reputation, he described himself as an “introvert” and admitted to feeling quite shy in this situation. Even when the NewJeans members reassured him that it was alright, he decided to wait rather than joining them in the elevator.

Adding a dash of humor to his story, Hoshi playfully pleaded with HYBE’s founder Bang Si Hyuk for an additional elevator to ease the wait times. This amusing anecdote provides fans with a delightful peek into the everyday experiences of K-Pop idols working under one of the industry’s most prominent entertainment companies, HYBE.

SEVENTEEN’s Hoshi Gets Flustered When Asked About Girlfriend

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.

Woozi also confessed that writing on his own is comforting for him.

“It’s embarrassing and embarrassing to say, but it’s definitely there. I am comforted by the lyrics I wrote. People will laugh when they see it, but it is a very moving moment for me. In fact, it often happens,” he said with a laugh.

Woozi Describes SEVENTEEN’s Vernon and Hoshi as Artists

The leader of SEVENTEEN’s Vocal Team also revealed that each member has their own distinct quality as an artist. He discussed Vernon and Hoshi in particular, confirming that he believes they are unique in their own way.

Vernon is like a rock. No matter what part he is assigned, I believe that he will pull it off. He is sturdy, reliable, and makes me feel relieved,” Lee Jihoon said.

Of Kwon Soonyoung, Woozi said, “Hoshi is intense. As a producer, he keeps raising the expectations for the player. But Hoshi shows how he goes a step further than that. That is how much he is overflowing with passion. I admire him.”

SEVENTEEN is currently promoting their latest EP ‘FML’ and its two lead singles “F*ck My Life” and “Super”.
