Hoshi unveiled the song through SEVENTEEN’s YouTube channel at midnight on July 29 KST. As he likens his strength to that of a tiger’s, the powerhouse act’s performance leader voices his unrelenting will to be a majestic presence on stage. The track features the Korean-American rapper Tiger JK and was co-composed by SEVENTEEN’s main producer and vocal unit leader Woozi. Hoshi, Woozi and Tiger JK together penned the lyrics.
The choreography for the special track will also be released through Studio Choom, a YouTube channel that specializes in K-pop artists’ dance videos.
Hoshi is widely known in the K-pop scene for being an avid fan of tigers and everything inspired by the animal. His stage name ‘Hoshi’ is derived from the Korean term for ‘tiger’s gaze.’ He previously released a solo track titled “Tiger Power” in 2021, and introduces himself with the catchphrase ‘horanghae,’ which combines the Korean terms for ‘tiger’ (horangi) and ‘I love you’ (saranghae).
Racking up 2 billion streams and selling 10 million albums, SEVENTEEN, comprised of S Coups, Jeonghan, Joshua, Jun, Hoshi, Wonwoo, Woozi, The 8, Mingyu, DK, Seungkwan, Vernon and Dino, have rocketed to the forefront of the music scene fuelled by a fiercely independent spirit and a nonpareil in-house creative ecosystem.
The 13-piece act’s innovative structure hinges on the interplay of three units: hip-hop, vocal, and performance. Living up to the title of “K-pop Stage-breakers,” SEVENTEEN have unassumingly become one of the biggest groups ever due to their world-class synchronization, jaw-dropping choreography, and tight teamwork.
