It’s no secret that SEVENTEEN are massive fans of BIGBANG, especially members Hoshi, Woozi, and S.Coups. Over the years, Hoshi has been caught countless times expressing his admiration for BIGBANG, particularly its leader, G-Dragon.
In September this year, Hoshi shared a screenshot from SEVENTEEN’s variety show Going Seventeen, where he answered "G-Dragon" when asked about his dream.
To fans’ delight, G-Dragon responded to Hoshi’s post, saying, "As expected, you’re one of the Kwon family, our Hoshi." Hoshi later re-shared G-Dragon’s response, adding, "Kwon family, fighting," creating a touching interaction between the two idols.
Hoshi has even mentioned G-Dragon on other shows, once asking a fortune teller about the timing of G-Dragon’s comeback, saying, "I’m a huge fan of him." Meanwhile, SEVENTEEN’s leader S.Coups has also been linked to BIGBANG through his stage name. Fans have speculated that his name was inspired by G-Dragon’s iconic Coup D'Etat album, released over a decade ago, as S.Coups is known to be a huge fan of BIGBANG.
At the recent MAMA Awards, SEVENTEEN were seen enthusiastically dancing and singing along to BIGBANG’s comeback performance. Clips of Hoshi and Woozi dancing together from the artists’ seats quickly went viral, further showcasing their fanboy energy.
In a new behind-the-scenes video from the 2024 Mnet Asian Music Awards, SEVENTEEN proved just how relatable their admiration is. The moment Hoshi discovered that BIGBANG’s G-Dragon was in the next room, his excitement was palpable.
His beaming smile said it all: G-Dragon’s performance was clearly one of the highlights of his night. Hoshi even joked about joining the performance, saying, "I might jump on stage during ‘Power’ as a dancer. ‘I got the power!’ Sorry, that’s not it."
When Hoshi finally had the chance to meet G-Dragon, he greeted him with a warm hug and bowed repeatedly, a sign of his deep respect and admiration.
The rest of SEVENTEEN also cheered on G-Dragon, sharing in Hoshi’s joy. The group even had a special moment with Taeyang, where they posed for a photo together, much to the delight of their fans.
This interaction serves as a reminder that idols can be fans too, and it’s heartwarming to see their genuine admiration and excitement. Moments like these show that, at the end of the day, they’re just like us!
