Seventeen’s Hoshi and Woozi Release Collaborative Album 'Beam'

The longtime friends and K-pop leaders highlight their decade-long journey and creative synergy in their first single album as a duo.

Hoshi and Woozi, members of Seventeen, have released 'Beam,' their first single album as an official duo, featuring three tracks: '96ers,' 'Pinnochio,' and 'Stupid Idiot.'
'96ers,' the lead single, celebrates their friendship and shared history as 1996-born K-pop trainees, while promoting themes of self-love and resilience.
The album reflects their complementary strengths, with Woozi's production expertise and Hoshi's dynamic performance skills shaping its raw and personal tone.
'Pinnochio' features a collaboration with So!YoON! from the indie rock band Se So Neon, while 'Stupid Idiot' is a club-ready anthem showcasing their playful side.
The release coincides with Seventeen's 10th anniversary and comes as members, including Hoshi and Woozi, prepare for South Korea’s mandatory military service.
