Hoshi and Lee Soo-hyuk’s Heartwarming Reunion at the Premiere of LOST
The recent reunion of SEVENTEEN’s Hoshi and actor Lee Soo-hyuk at the premiere of the film LOST has captured the attention of fans and the media alike. This event unfolded on April 9, 2025, as the movie premiered across cinemas in South Korea. Lee Soo-hyuk made a special appearance to greet fans, alongside Hoshi, who was also present. The duo’s warm interaction during the event left the spectators pleasantly surprised.
After the premiere, Hoshi took to his official Instagram account to share his excitement about the film. He posted a story that conveyed his enthusiasm, writing,
“Woah… seriously, the scenario is so cool. Everyone to the movie theatre, let’s go.”
Lee Soo-hyuk, in a playful response, reposted Hoshi’s story, saying,
“Thanks for coming! my cat dongsaeng.”
This lighthearted exchange thrilled fans from both the SEVENTEEN fandom and Lee Soo-hyuk’s audience, sparking a wave of excitement on social media platforms. Enthusiastic tweets reflected their collective joy over the reunion:
“We are so back,”a fan tweeted.
“Hoshi is a loyal dongsaeng. I thought it was a VIP movie premiere, but it turned out that he went to Lee Soo-hyuk’s stage greeting for the movie fans,”commented another.
“God, I missed the Soohyoshi era. So blessed, so grateful right now,”another user expressed.
Fan Reactions to Hoshi’s Nickname as “Cat”
A humorous aspect of their friendship is Hoshi’s representative animal being a tiger, which he embraces. However, some of his SEVENTEEN group members jokingly refuse to refer to him as such, preferring to call him “cat,” a moniker that has become a running joke among fans. Lee Soo-hyuk’s reference to Hoshi as “cat” added to this playful dynamic:
“Now this makes me wonder seriously if Hoshi protests when he gets called a cat by Soo-hyuk! Does he just accept it (since technically tigers and cats are of the same family) or does he strongly deny it? 😭😭,”a fan pondered.
“Hoshi has done the horanghae pose a million times in front of Soo-hyuk, but Soo-hyuk still calls him a cat,”another commented.
“He’s just like other SEVENTEEN members, a tiger hater. He called the tiger ‘cat dongsaeng’?!,”a user continued the jest.
Exploring the Friendship of Lee Soo-hyuk and Hoshi
The connection between Lee Soo-hyuk and Hoshi has been the subject of numerous discussions among fans. Their friendship, characterized by shared meals and movie outings, has gained popularity on social media. Although rumors about their relationship have circulated among fans since 2023, these have been lighthearted and mostly playful in nature.
In a memorable moment on the tarot reading show YONGTAROT aired on October 30, 2024, Hoshi humorously questioned Lee Yong-jin about his relationship with Soo-hyuk, asking,
“I’ve been so busy we barely met… does he still see me the same way? Or has he started liking some other idol?”
Lee Soo-hyuk later appeared on a subsequent episode of YONGTAROT released on April 9, 2025, where he jested about Hoshi’s quirky question, expressing surprise at how much he learned about his friend’s schedule through the show:
“Didn’t Hoshi say all sorts of weird stuff on here? I was lying in bed trying to sleep, and then, huh? ‘Oh! Now I know my friend’s schedule’.”
