SEVENTEEN’s Hoshi, real name Kwon Soon Young, is currently 29 years old and has openly expressed his hopes about starting a family in the future—a topic often sensitive in the K-pop world. Despite the usual backlash some idols face regarding marriage or children, Hoshi’s fandom, Carats, has shown full support and encouragement, which he greatly appreciates.
About nine months ago, Hoshi appeared on comedian Lee Young Jin’s YouTube series Yongtarot. During the pilot episode, Hoshi discussed his future personal life, including marriage. When asked, “When will I get married?”, he admitted that he hoped to take that step someday and shared a heartfelt sentiment:
“If someday my fans could understand, I’d want to go on family trips with my wife.”
The statement was widely shared online and highlighted Hoshi’s genuine wish to balance his personal life with his career, while also receiving love and understanding from his fans.
