Hoshi

Hoshi is the kind of performer who makes you forget there are twelve other people on stage — and with SEVENTEEN, that's genuinely saying something. As the leader of the group's performance unit, Kwon Soon-young doesn't just dance well; he choreographs for the whole crew and then performs those routines with the kind of explosive precision that makes your jaw drop on first watch and your fourth watch too. His solo debut with "Spider" in 2021 showed he could hold his own outside the group context, all swaggering confidence and sharp movement. That switch is genuinely rare, and it's why he's one of the most compelling presences in fourth-generation K-pop.
