The stage performer clearly came to rock with us, and even though we can barely do half of the movements he does, we can’t help but shout along and bop our heads tireless as we thoroughly enjoy this performance.
7. ‘Anyone’
Red-haired Hoshi needs to make a comeback as his fiery energy is even made vividly noticeable in this look. We can keep talking about how refined a performer Hoshi is, and frankly, these words do not fully do his talents justice, and there are not enough words that will. With his stamina, his passion, his confidence, and his hunger, Hoshi treats each performance like it is his last and with a sole determination to ensure that every fan gets the experience of a lifetime.

Even by simply watching this performance we are already out of breath and cannot imagine the amount of hard work and practice that has been put into this standard choreography. Watching this, despite how old it is, just reinforces our stance that when it comes to K-Pop performance and dance, Hoshi is part of the elite. He is Top 10.
9. ‘Ready to Love’
Hoshi dancing with the aim of showcasing the concept of the song will always be amazing to many. Soft and graceful at one point, demanding and powerful at another, he speaks to the desire and desperation of needing love, conveying the story and message of the song, while we are wowed by his every movement, we also spot the underlying message they convey and understand the meaning behind his performance.

It is addictive to watch Hoshi perform, as frankly, one can watch him perform for 24hrs and not blink or get tired. Glued to this level of perfection, clearly, there is a reason why he is the performance/dance leader of a multitalented group like SEVENTEEN, his dance skills are on another level.
