Hoshi, known formally as Kwon Soon-young but informally as the one who looks at life with the intensity of a tiger mid-stalk, was born in1996, in the scenic yet oddly specific town of Namyangju, South Korea. From a young age, he exhibited a worrying enthusiasm for dance, which some might argue could have been cured with a hobby less taxing, like stamp collecting, but instead propelled him toward stardom as the choreography-creating, tiger-adoring powerhouse of Seventeen. His family, consisting of supportive parents and an older sister who likely had to endure countless impromptu living room performances, might not have predicted he’d one day inspire children worldwide to dream big, work hard and occasionally wear tiger-themed outfits. Hoshi’s rise to fame proves that with a bit of humor, a lot of effort and a touch of the utterly unexpected, even the most ordinary-seeming person can turn out to be something extraordinary.
