SEVENTEEN's Woozi and Hoshi's Joint Military Performance Affected by Hoshi's Injury

The current buzz in Korea centers on SEVENTEEN member Hoshi's unexpected injury during military service, which has unfortunately impacted a highly anticipated joint performance with fellow member Woozi. Both had successfully auditioned for the Ground Forces Festival, creating excitement among fans for their reunion on stage.

On September 12, Hoshi announced via Weverse that he suffered a complete anterior cruciate ligament rupture during practice for the Ground Forces performance team. This injury prevents him from participating in the upcoming festival, where he and Woozi were slated to perform together after passing auditions in July. Woozi, born Lee Jihoon on November 22, 1996, is also currently fulfilling his military service and is known for his extensive contributions as a songwriter, composer, and producer for nearly all of SEVENTEEN's discography.

Local bloggers express deep regret over Hoshi's injury, especially given his recent early promotion to sergeant and the significance of the planned stage with Woozi. Fans also highlight Woozi's talent, noting his "baby face" and "fairy" nickname, and cherish his solo track "What Kind of Future." There is a strong sentiment of anticipation for both Hoshi's full recovery and the eventual complete return of SEVENTEEN, expected around 2028, allowing fans to fully engage in various fan activities.
