SEVENTEEN’s Hoshi Wants Woozi as His Son in the Next Life—The Unexpected Reason Why

SEVENTEEN’s Hoshi expressed admiration for Woozi’s impressive wealth.

On the April 15 episode of the web variety show Salon Drip 2, released on the YouTube channel ‘TEO’, SEVENTEEN’s special unit members Hoshi and Woozi appeared as guests.

Woozi, the group’s main producer who oversees the entire album-making process, surprised everyone by revealing he has around 200 songs registered under his name for copyright. Hoshi praised him, saying, “Woozi rarely spends money,” highlighting how financially savvy he is. Hoshi even confessed he once saw Woozi's royalty-related emails while at his studio—back when they were still rookies. “That was during our early days,” Hoshi said, “Imagine how much it is now.”

Jokingly, Hoshi added, “In my next life, I want to give birth to Woozi as my son,” which drew laughter. Woozi responded by saying he has actually thought about how comfortable life would be for his own child: “If my son isn't greedy, I think the world would be a beautiful and easy place for him.”

Hoshi & Woozi Reveal Why ‘Leaders’ Unit with S.Coups Didn’t Happen

SEVENTEEN’s Hoshi and Woozi explain why their planned unit with S.Coups never came to be.

Born in 1996, Hoshi (SEVENTEEN’s performance team leader) and Woozi (vocal team leader) teamed up to form a special same-age unit. The two mentioned there was originally a plan to include S.Coups—SEVENTEEN’s overall and hip-hop team leader—in a trio unit called “Leaders.”

“He seemed a little disappointed,” they said, referring to S.Coups. Woozi revealed, “We were planning to do something together at the beginning of last year, but since S.Coups injured his leg and couldn’t perform, the plan fell through. That’s when Hoshi and I (the Hoshi x Woozi unit) gained momentum.”

They also shared that they are scheduled to enlist in the military in the second half of the year. Still, they emphasized that their unit activities weren’t dependent on enlistment timing. “We already had thoughts of doing something together, and when the opportunity came, we moved quickly,” they explained.

The full video is available to watch on TEO's YouTube Channel, Salon Drip 2, which premiered April 15.
