SEVENTEEN’s special unit HOSHI x WOOZI lit up Los Angeles with perfect synergy.
The special unit HOSHI x WOOZI from SEVENTEEN electrified Los Angeles with an outstanding performance and undeniable chemistry.
On August 3, HOSHI and WOOZI took the stage at LA’s Crypto.com Arena as part of KCON LA 2025. Their presence, marked by confident stage manners and a genuine, heartfelt friendship, instantly captivated the audience.
HOSHI x WOOZI’s powerful energy won over the K-pop fans gathered at the venue. They kicked off their set with the explosive “Bring it” (날 쏘고 가라), followed by “동갑내기”, brought to life with a vibrant live band sound that amped up the atmosphere. The performance of “Echo! (Prod. WOOZI)” was also unveiled for the first time on broadcast. As the song has gone viral through various dance challenges online, seeing its original creator perform it live sent fans into a frenzy, with many singing along to the chorus in unison.
A highlight of the night was the Dream Stage, KCON LA’s signature fan-participation segment. HOSHI and WOOZI were joined onstage by approximately 50 local CARATs, selected through auditions, to perform “Stupid idiot” together. The crowd erupted in cheers, raising their arms and joining the energy, pushing the excitement to its peak.
The two artists shared their thoughts after the show:
“This is our first time coming to KCON LA as a duo. We’re leaving deeply moved by the cheers and energy of the fans. A huge thank you to the CARATs who lit up the stage with us and to everyone who enjoyed the show together.”
The HOSHI X WOOZI FAN CONCERT [WARNING] has also been a major success, with all shows selling out. Starting in July at the Jamsil Indoor Stadium in Seoul, the duo has gone on to fill venues in Busan (Sajik Indoor Gymnasium) and Taipei (NTSU Arena), solidifying their image as “same-age friends who know how to own the stage.” Notably, SEUNGKWAN made a surprise appearance during the Busan concert, adding extra excitement to the encore.
