A video of him saluting at a SEVENTEEN concert also caught attention. Additionally, through the fan platform Weverse, he left a message saying, 'They say the feelings of those who remain are heavier than those who go. I will go properly, so please don’t be too sad. This time will all become memories, and when I look back later, I will definitely be smiling. I will visit you in a cool soldier's appearance when I get on leave. Thank you so much, CARAT (SEVENTEEN's fans). I love you. I will go with energy! Please love the new song 'TAKE A SHOT' released at 6 PM.' Hoshi released his new song 'TAKE A SHOT' through various music streaming sites at 6 PM today. His powerful rap harmonizes with diverse synth sounds and guitar performances, embodying a heavy yet dynamic feel. Previously, on the 15th, member Woozi enlisted in the army.
