SEVENTEEN’s special unit Hoshi & Woozi are making waves with their bold transformation for their highly anticipated 1st single album BEAM!

On February 25 at 9:06 PM KST, SEVENTEEN’s official SNS dropped 11 stunning photos from the ‘+ (plus)’ version of BEAM, instantly setting fans abuzz.

The photos show a striking contrast between the soft glow of electronic billboards and the powerful presence of Hoshi and Woozi.

Hoshi, known for his fun and energetic vibes during BSS promotions, now radiates pure charisma.

Meanwhile, Woozi, often seen behind the scenes as a producer, steps into the spotlight with an entirely new aura.

Their dramatic styling adds even more intrigue! Hoshi rocks short bangs with a long braided ponytail, bringing a mix of edgy and carefree energy.

On the other hand, Woozi turns heads with bold smoky eye makeup and wild curly hair, giving off an intense and alluring vibe.

The album title BEAM represents the radiant energy and confidence of Hoshi & Woozi—two artists who continuously challenge themselves and shine in their own unique ways.

Fans won’t have to wait long for more teasers! The ‘x (doubled)’ version of their official photos drops on February 26, followed by the tracklist, trailer, and music video teasers leading up to the grand release of BEAM on March 10 at 6 PM KST.

Interestingly, all promotional content is being unveiled at exactly 9:06 PM KST— a playful nod to Hoshi & Woozi’s identity as iconic ‘96-liners!

IU recently revealed that she watched her own concert film in a public theater, but shockingly, no one recognized her—even when she dropped a hint!

On February 27, a new video featuring IU was released, showing her inside a car on her way to Daejeon.

She excitedly shared, “This is a surprise stage greeting for UAENA! I picked this location through a ladder game when I did stage greetings.”

Previously, IU had let fate decide which city she would visit after her stage greetings. She happily said, “There are UAENAs everywhere I go. Wherever I go, it's a flowery path.” The game ultimately led her to Daejeon.

IU originally hoped to explore the city, saying, “I wanted to visit Daejeon's pride, Sung Sim Dang, and walk around, but my team said it wouldn’t be possible. The lines are too long, and it’s freezing outside.” She sighed, adding, “So, things turned out this way.”

Dressed up for the occasion, IU smiled, saying, “I don’t get to meet UAENAs in Daejeon often, so I wanted to make a surprise appearance looking my best.”

She also joked about enjoying surprise events, adding, “As long as Hanteo oppa drives me safely, I’m happy.”

But what really caught fans' attention was IU’s unexpected confession—she had secretly watched her concert film in a theater, but no one noticed her! “No one recognized me at all. There weren’t that many people, and it was a weekday… but still! I even gave a hint!” she said, sounding both amused and surprised.

Later, when IU finally appeared at the theater, her fans were overwhelmed with emotion. Some even burst into tears, prompting her to gently say, “You really didn’t expect me to come, right?”

After wrapping up her stage greeting, IU laughed at herself, saying, “Wait, did I just do a 40-minute one-woman show? I must have talked so much.”

On her way back to Seoul, IU reflected on the day, sharing, “It was so cold today. I shook hands with all the UAENAs. My hands are usually cold, and since the weather was freezing, I think I made a lot of people’s hands cold, too. But after touching so many warm hands, mine became warm, too. I still haven’t washed them.”

Her love for her fans truly knows no bounds!
