SEVENTEEN's Hoshi is gaining attention for an amusing and relatable reason why he decided to renew his contract with HYBE Labels. On the YouTube show 'Salon Drip', hosted by Jang Do Yeon, Hoshi shared the story of how the meal costs for SEVENTEEN increased with each comeback since their debut

Expressing his gratitude for being a part of HYBE, Hoshi mentioned the advantages of the company, such as the impressive tall building, comfortable temperature regardless of the weather, and convenient face recognition entry.

He compared this to their early days when they would suffer in extreme heat or freezing in the cold.

Additionally, Hoshi mentioned the cramped space they had to endure. Jang Do Yeon then asked Hoshi about the best thing about being in HYBE, to which he answered that there are many great things about the company but the essentials stand out.

Hoshi shared an incident when he ordered ramyeon at the company cafeteria, expecting a regular dish but received abalone and octopus topped ramyeon instead [YouTube].

This unexpected upgrade convinced him that he had to renew his contract with HYBE. However, Hoshi did mention one complaint he has about HYBE.

He explained that the single elevator reserved for artists often took a long time to arrive. He described the entrance for artists, which is located on the 3rd ground-level floor of the parking lot, and how the elevator only goes up to the floors accessible to artists.

One time, he wanted to use the elevator to go to the ground level parking lot but it coincided with the NewJeans members getting on, so he had to let them go ahead. In conclusion, Hoshi expressed his wish for HYBE to consider having two elevators for the artists

Lee Jun Young recently opened up about the emotional toll of playing a villain—and how one powerful scene made him break down in tears behind the scenes.

On the May 1st episode of KBS 2TV’s variety show Problem Child in House, Lee Jun Young appeared alongside co-star Jung Eun Ji to promote their new KBS drama Pump Up the Healthy Love.

During the show, Lee Jun Young was asked about the most unforgettable villain he’s played. He chose his role as Han Su Gang in the film Brave Citizen.

He explained, “It was really tough to film. I had to act like I was leading school violence, and there was even a scene where I bullied a grandmother.”

The hosts were surprised, pointing out how kind and gentle he seems in real life. Lee Jun Young shared how he transforms for such roles.

“I try to act as bad as I can, but sometimes the director says, ‘You still look too nice.’ Then I focus even harder and adjust right away.”

He also revealed that filming one particular scene hit him hard emotionally. “My real grandmother was sick at the time,” he said.

“In one scene, there’s a grandma selling gimbap, and I ad-libbed by stubbing a cigarette out on the gimbap. I was really into character, but after filming, I just broke down. So many thoughts came to me and I started crying.”

Fans praised his dedication to acting but also felt moved by how deeply the role affected him. Lee Jun Young’s honesty gave a raw look at how even fictional roles can hit close to home.
