Hoshi of SEVENTEEN has enlisted as an active-duty soldier and fulfills his duty of national defense. Hoshi entered the training camp today (16th). He shared on his Instagram a video of member DINO shaving his head with clippers and a commemorative shot together with his buzz cut. 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. Like him, Hoshi began military service today as an active-duty soldier. Prior to this, on September 26 of last year, Jeonghan was the first member to enlist, followed by Wonwoo, who started his service on April 3. Hoshi and Woozi formed a unit in March this year and released their 1st single 'BEAM'. The fan concert 'HOSHI X WOOZI FAN CONCERT [WARNING]' they held concluded its finale at Gwangju Women's University Universiade Gymnasium on August 23-24 after touring Seoul and Japan.
