• SEVENTEEN’s Hoshi opens up about the time he was upset over his stage name "Hoshi"

    Hoshi from SEVENTEEN revealed he was once disappointed with his stage name and even found it strange at first.

    On April 15, Hoshi and Woozi appeared as guests on the web variety show "Salon Drip 2." During the episode, Woozi shared the story behind his stage name, explaining that it’s a shortened version of "Our Ji Hoon," which surprised many fans.

    When Jang Do Yeon playfully asked, “How cute were you to get that name?”.

    Woozi laughed and said, “I’m 30 now, but I started as a trainee when I was 15. The older people back then called me ‘Our Ji Hoon’ because I was so young, almost like a nickname.”

    But it was Hoshi’s turn to share a funny story. He explained, “When we joined, S.Coups hyung came in first, Woozi came in second, and I was third. I was also the youngest, so why am I called ‘Hoshi’?” He admitted he was a bit upset about it at the time.

    Hoshi continued, “When I was younger, I didn’t like the name ‘Hoshi.’ Doesn’t ‘Hoshi-ssi’ sound weird? When we were trainees, they told us, ‘From now on, use your stage names,’ and they put it on the wall in the company."

    He added, "When the seniors from After School passed by, they said, ‘What’s Hoshi?’ ‘Hoshi-ssi is weird.’ I was upset, but once I debuted, I started to grow fond of it.”

    Despite his initial feelings, Hoshi now seems to be proud of his stage name, and the fans love it too, often calling him by it with affection.

    Meanwhile, SEVENTEEN's special unit Hoshi X Woozi released their first single album, "BEAM," on March 10, which fans are absolutely loving!

  • Apink’s Yoon Bomi playfully reveals she’s dealing with hair loss and seriously thinking about a hair transplant

    Apink’s Yoon Bomi opened up about a personal struggle on a recent radio broadcast — and fans are loving her honesty.

    On the May 16 episode of SBS PowerFM’s Cultwo Show, Yoon Bomi appeared as a guest on the “Don’t Do It!” segment alongside Lucky and special DJ Kwak Beom. During the chat, the stars got real about plastic surgery and things they would consider changing.

    When asked by DJ Kim Tae Gyun if there’s anything she’d want to fix, Bomi didn’t hesitate to share, “I really have one. A hair transplant. I’ve started to get M-shaped hair loss. Because I dye my hair a lot and tie it tightly, I’ve been covering it, but it’s slightly there.”

    Her honest confession quickly drew attention — and support — from the rest of the cast. It turns out all three other guests had already undergone hair transplant procedures.

    Kwak Beom shared his own experience, saying, “I did the non-incision method and got the female-style hairline treatment.” Impressed, Bomi replied, “Please recommend that clinic. It looks so natural.”

    Although she initially hesitated, Bomi admitted the hair loss has become stressful. “I wasn’t going to do it because many people said not to, but I think I should because it’s becoming stressful.”

    Kim Tae Gyun encouraged her, saying, “It’s better to do it than be stressed. You should do it while you’re still young.” Bomi laughed and said, “I think I’ll go tomorrow,” hinting that she’s ready to make the move.

    Fans are now cheering her on for being so open about something so many people go through. What do you think of Bomi’s brave decision?
