2. SEVENTEEN’s Hoshi

SEVENTEEN‘s Hoshi‘s dancing capabilities and talent cannot be denied, and his background as a taekwondo player helped in enhancing his sharp dance moves! Hoshi has been playing taekwondo since he was younger and has acquired a 4th degree black belt.

He was so good at taekwondo that he was casted because of it. However, he decided to quit playing the sport because he doesn’t want to cut his hair short the way most athletes do!

This also explains why Hoshi is capable of kicking really high in the group’s choreography for “Clap.”
