They inspired him to become a K-Pop idol, and now he’s besties with them!
SEVENTEEN‘s Hoshi is the most successful Shawol ever!
On July 4, Hoshi joined SHINee‘s “HARD” TikTok dance challenge with none other than Taemin himself! In the video, Hoshi showed off his signed copy of SHINee’s first album, repackage AMIGO, which he previously credited as his source of inspiration to become a singer.

Hoshi has been a fan of SHINee for many years, and they are his role models. He received SHINee’s first album as a gift from Taemin’s uncle, an acquaintance of his dad’s. This inspired his dream of becoming a K-Pop idol.
During Lunar New Year, my father’s friend came. He is SHINee Taemin sunbaenim’s uncle. He gave me SHINee’s debut album in 2008. Back then, I didn’t really know anything about K-pop! At first, I just watched it and didn’t even think about playing the music. I just thought “Oh it’s a CD!” In the past, there was school homework where you have to play English CDs and follow after it… really didn’t want to do that. So I put the (SHINee) CD into the CD player without thinking, but so many good songs were playing. So I searched online about SHINee and learned about K-pop.

Hoshi has remained a dedicated Shawol even after he achieved his dream. He has frequently mentioned SHINee and even attended concerts.

So, knowing that Hoshi has been a fan for so long, even receiving an album from Taemin’s uncle to now dancing alongside Taemin himself, his fellow Shawols could not be happier.
becoming a member of a multi million seller group was step 13 in hoshi’s 20-part “become friends with taemin shinee” plan and im so thrilled that hes achieved such a massive goal
