Hoshi

Hoshi (호시), born Kwon Soon-young (권순영) on June 15, 1996, is the performance team leader of SEVENTEEN and one of the defining choreographic minds of third-generation K-pop. His stage identity has always been built on contrast: explosive physicality, exact counts, and an ability to make difficult formations feel instinctive instead of mechanical.

He debuted with SEVENTEEN on May 26, 2015 under Pledis Entertainment, then quickly became inseparable from the group's performance reputation. Hoshi's fingerprints are all over the team's live vocabulary, from the snap and pressure of Getting Closer to the precision that made SEVENTEEN a benchmark act for synchronized staging. Outside the full group, he also helped define the tone of BSS and the HOSHI X WOOZI unit, proving he can scale his performance logic from festival-sized group stages to tighter duo work.

His solo lane sharpened with Spider in 2021 and continued through the tiger-coded persona that turned horanghae into a calling card rather than a meme. Even during military service, that performance identity stayed visible. After enlisting in September 2025, Hoshi joined the Republic of Korea Army Band's taekwondo demonstration team and carried that mix of athletic control and showmanship into official public appearances through 2026.
