SEVENTEEN's Hoshi (II) wowed the world with his new hit mixtape "Spider". Recently he had an interview with ESQUIRE Korea. On that occasion, Hoshi presented several other songs he had composed.
Many fans are well aware that SEVENTEEN is a talented artist group who often produces their own songs, choreography, and more. Although Woozi often composed some of the group's hits, Hoshi revealed that Woozi had shared wisdom with him so that he could compose his own songs.
While promoting "Spider," Hoshi has shared many times how Woozi has taught him more about songwriting. Hoshi himself seemed to have mastered the skill quickly. He shared in his interview that he has produced several songs.
According to Hoshi, he had been preparing solo for a while but as time went on, the project grew further and further away from him. It was because of this pandemic that Hoshi was able to take time in quarantine and focus on his solo projects.
"I didn't pay much attention in 2019 because of the schedule and album preparation. Then last year there was an outbreak of COVID-19 and my overseas tour was canceled, so there's time. I can focus again on solo songs. If I can't stand on stage, I will. want to show my fans a song even by releasing the sound source through Sound Cloud, "said Hoshi.
Before he knew it, Hoshi claimed he had composed several songs along with "Spider" that was ready to release. According to Hoshi, each song was pretty well done.
"After making a song or two like that, I found that I have more than 10 songs that I wrote myself. It's a shame to say it with my own mouth, but there are many songs that are really good," he continued.
Previously, Hoshi also discussed the difference between solo careers and group promotions. Although he has previously worked with all of them on SEVENTEEN's music, Hoshi shared that it was a new experience working with them as soloists.
"Even though SEVENTEEN's music only focuses on the team, I think it was a fun experience to create my personal color as a soloist. I really enjoyed discovering what made me through this project," said Hoshi.
As for the "Spider" visuals, Hoshi shared that working on his music video and visuals as a soloist allowed him to pick up more "Creative leads" than when he was working with SEVENTEEN. As a warm-hearted person, Hoshi also shared that he personally contacted people who were able to make the great music video for "Spider". (wk / daughter)
