SEVENTEEN's HoshiXWoozi released their first single 'BEAM' and the music video for the title track 'Same-age' on various music streaming sites at 6 p.m. on the 10th.
HoshiXWoozi is the new special unit of SEVENTEEN following BSS and JeonghanXWonwoo. SEVENTEEN has achieved brilliant results with each new special unit, highlighting the group's global popularity. BSS captured the public and fandom with songs like 'Without hesitation,' 'Gotta fight,' and 'Jeans,' while JeonghanXWonwoo achieved the highest initial sales for a K-pop unit album with the release of their first single 'THIS MAN' in June of last year.
As the third special unit to debut within the group, HoshiXWoozi reunite after nearly eight years since collaborating on the album track 'Don't Shoot Me' from their second studio album 'TEEN, AGE,' released in November 2017. The two have generated anticipation, being respectively the leaders of the performance team and vocal team, and being friends born in 1996.
The album title demonstrates the chemistry between Hoshi and Woozi. 'BEAM' expresses the originality and self-love of Hoshi and Woozi, who have accumulated challenges since their trainee days, showcasing various colors.
The album title 'BEAM' signifies the light emanating from HoshiXWoozi. It encapsulates their originality, which has been developed through continuous challenges since their trainee days, establishing their status as 'the top K-pop group.' The radiant images of the two, fueled by their self-confidence and affection for music, shine brightly in any situation. When the beams of light extending from their inner selves meet the spotlight on stage, HoshiXWoozi become an irreplaceable icon.
The album includes a total of three songs, including the title track 'Same-age,' featuring Hoshi and Woozi, 'PINOCCHIO (feat. So!YoON!),' and 'STUPID IDIOT.'
The title track 'Same-age' is a song that lightly unfolds the narrative built over a long time by friends Hoshi and Woozi, who were born in 1996. It reflects their journey since they first met as 'troublesome middle schoolers' and how they have grown to dream of being the next respected artists.
The music video features the two as works of art, showcasing the swag of Hoshi and Woozi. With addictive hip-hop beats, standout lyrics filled with self-love, such as 'Try it like us just like this' and 'The leader among SUN WUKONGs,' become evident.
The album track 'PINOCCHIO' contains the heartbreaking irony that love grows stronger as one lies to hide their true feelings. Hwang Soyoon, the frontperson of the band Seventeen and a solo artist, features on the track, adding a dreamy atmosphere. Another track, 'STUPID IDIOT,' expresses the joyful moments of HoshiXWoozi enjoying the present freely and boldly.
Returning as the self-loving 'same-age' duo after 7 years and 4 months, Hoshi and Woozi possess original music, performance, and character. People are looking forward to the vibrant presence they will showcase on stage with their more mature and relaxed demeanor.
