SEVENTEEN’s new special unit is finally happening! Hoshi and Woozi are teaming up for their first-ever single BEAM, set to drop on March 10.

At midnight on February 19, Pledis Entertainment surprised fans with a concept teaser for BEAM on Weverse and SEVENTEEN’s official social media. The teaser, with its sleek monochrome visuals and striking light contrasts, created a powerful and sophisticated mood. At the very end, the release date appeared—immediately sending fans into a frenzy of excitement!

A Duo That Took 8 Years to Happen

The name BEAM represents the strong and radiant energy that Hoshi and Woozi bring to the stage. From their trainee days to becoming key members of one of K-pop’s biggest groups, their passion and creativity have always stood out.

The two last worked together on SEVENTEEN’s 2017 album TEEN, AGE, when they teamed up for Shoot Me Before You Go. Now, eight years later, they are officially launching as a unit! As the leaders of SEVENTEEN’s Performance and Vocal Teams—and as same-age friends born in 1996—expectations are sky-high for their incredible synergy.

SEVENTEEN’s Unit Power Just Keeps Growing

SEVENTEEN has been proving time and again that unit projects can be just as powerful as full-group comebacks. BSS (Seungkwan, DK, and Hoshi) took over the charts with hits like Just Do It, Fighting (Feat. Lee Young Ji), and Jeans.

Meanwhile, Jeonghan and Wonwoo shook up the industry last June with their unit debut THIS MAN, setting a new record for the highest first-week sales of any K-pop unit album.

Now, all eyes are on Hoshi and Woozi as they prepare to release BEAM. With SEVENTEEN’s track record of unit success, fans are expecting nothing less than a legendary collaboration.

Actor Lee Yi Kyung surprised viewers by revealing his extremely frugal lifestyle, which he says comes from his father.

On the February 20 episode of tvN STORY’s A Billion-Won Breakfast, Lee Yi Kyung’s simple morning routine was shown.

Appearing on camera with a sleepy, puffy face, he laughed and said, “I look terrible. This is the real me.”

Dr. Oh Eun Young was surprised to see him waking up early at 6 AM, but Lee Yi Kyung explained, “I can’t sleep in.”

What caught the most attention was how he stayed warm in the winter. Instead of using the boiler, he turned on a small heater.

He said, “My father always did this. Even now, he wears a lightweight padded jacket at home. He says wearing one in winter is enough to stay warm.”

Hearing this, Dr. Oh Eun Young commented, “If you catch a cold, the medical expenses will cost more. Being frugal is good, but this might make marriage difficult.”

Lee Yi Kyung responded with a laugh, saying, “People say that a lot. But whoever marries me can just turn on the boiler. I’ll just turn it off in my own space.”

Despite his father being a former CEO, Lee Yi Kyung has kept up his simple way of living. Fans were both shocked and amused by his extreme frugality!
