[Recording the mixtape "Spider"]
No, you're doing great right now
Okay
[Recording day for editing the details of "Spider" #For_even_better_results]
Let's have a listen
It's missing something
[Carefully increasing the density of the song]
[#How_Performance_Team_leader_HOSHI_ makes_music / Reviewing while seeing if it looks good with the choreography]
This isn't it
Should we go again?
Let's try listening
This part could be better, right?
Yup
-The part "Even a single drop" could be better -Yeah [Continues recording for perfect results]
"Even"?
-Hm? -"Even"?
[HOSHI revises each word with detail]
-Should we listen to it again? -Hmm?
Let's listen to it again from the top
Okay
I'm also looking at the choreography
and revising the vocals so that they go better together [#While_watching_the_dance_practice_video]
Kyu Hoon
[#4_hours_of_revising / The recording of HOSHI's first solo track is over]
But you're going to say you want to make some more edits, like always
[Listening to the final revised song]
I'm done with the revisions
I don't get a lot of opportunities to meet CARAT [You looked really happy while revising]
And I want to make more good music for our CARAT
and make a lot of songs
for them to enjoy
And I thought this was the only thing I could do
it's also what I like to do
So I tried my best while working on this song
I tried really wild and unique things that make you go, "No way"
I'm really happy and proud that I got such good results
and I think I'll be able to work even harder now
I want to sing more for CARAT
so they can hear my voice
and I feel like I'm improving more, which is nice
I now have more dreams
and I'm making them come true one by one
I'll keep it going to achieve my next goal
Let's do the dance until the chorus part [Dance practice for the mixtape "Spider"]
Until the chorus
-Should I get ready? -Yup
Let's start right away
Okay!
I have to admit it's hard
It must really be hard for you
I'm practicing the choreography for my solo song, "Spider"
It's two days before the music video shoot
So I tried on the outfits and all today
and I'm putting on the final touches now
I have something scheduled tomorrow, so I can't practice then
[Practices every little detail #For_the_choreography_as_well]
[HOSHI's hard work for results he can be even prouder of]
Great job!
It's my first time shooting a music video by myself since my debut
The lyrics mean that I'm trapped in [#The_meaning_behind the_lyrics_and_the_choreo]
the other person's spider web but that I like being trapped
I wanted to give that impression of being trapped
So if you look at the bars from the front it'll look like I'm trapped
I liked the idea of using pull-up bars because it was original
and I liked that I could use the stage three-dimensionally
not just the one flat surface
It's more dynamic and fun to watch
and it's also fun to do
I personally think the intro is fresh [What's your favorite part of the choreo?]
But I can't say that I like one specific dance move
because as a whole, you have this move [#Since_it's_one_whole_work_of_art Every part of the choreo is important]
because you have this other move and this part shines more
because there's also this so it all fits in together really well
I can't wait to show "Spider" to CARAT
I think they'll like it since it's not something they would've expected
So I'm continuing to prepare and practice hard like today
See you again at the music video shoot!
[The set of the M/V shoot for the mixtape "Spider"]
It's been long, CARAT!
This is HOSHI
I'm on the set of my solo mixtape
music video shoot
This song titled "Spider"
is about a charming subject it could be a dream or it could be a person
If the spider web symbolizes my greed and desires
then I'm tangled up in that web
and I can't escape Those are what the lyrics mean
Genius songwriter WOOZI wrote the song
and I took part in writing the lyrics
The song turned out great so I also got to shoot a music video like this
Looking good! [Applause after the cut signal]
DINO!
Amazing, so cool! [#The_first_ones that came to cheer HOSHI on, SEUNGKWAN and DINO]
SEUNGKWAN! [#The_first_ones that came to cheer HOSHI on, SEUNGKWAN and DINO]
[Our members are the best!]
HOSHI's shooting a music video with his first solo song
So amazing
SEUNGKWAN was being lazy and suggesting we come at night
but I said we should come early
I'm so tired
Wait... You just wanted to visit in the morning and get it over with
-When did I say that? -That's what you're thinking
When did I say that?
You just wanted to come early so that we could go back home quickly
We're here to send HOSHI support
DK bought pizza
and S.COUPS called a coffee truck
since HOSHI's shooting a music video
The other members don't always come visit just because a member's shooting something
but we know that HOSHI would like it if we came
so I think that's why almost all the members came to visit
So that's why I'm here and he looked so cool and sexy
Please send lots of love for HOSHI
I'll go watch him again
HOSHI, congrats on your solo album [#Whispering_so_they_don't_disturb_the_shoot]
Congrats [#Whispering_so_they_don't_disturb_the_shoot]
He looked so cool when I saw him practicing the dance for his solo in the practice studio
I know you went through a lot of trouble and worked so hard, you're doing amazing
The music video's going to look so cool
You're the best
But really
We know that HOSHI worked so hard on this for months
Of course, we came to support him because we're in the same group
but also because HOSHI worked so hard on this
and we know how he feels and want him to do well
so we're here to cheer him on
I know it's hard doing this alone but I hope you do well
Don't forget we're always by your side, and fighting!
Fighting!
Love you HOSHI
Please show lots of support for "Spider"
Here? Oh, I just stopped by on the way
I came to Namgyangju to eat
and I just came inside because it was bustling
but it turns out there's someone I know
I mean, he just does well [HOSHI said he's really grateful for genius songwriter WOOZI]
All I did was help
Please show "Spider" lots of love
Glow-in-the-dark face paint
I never would've thought of doing this [#Glow-in-the-dark_face_paint]
The director gave me a great idea
[How is HOSHI as a solo artist different from HOSHI of SEVENTEEN?]
SEVENTEEN's HOSHI and solo artist HOSHI are the same HOSHI
(but solo artist HOSHI) can express it all without holding back
With 13 SEVENTEEN members performing on stage
I have to work together with the members
and be on the same page
but when I'm alone, I can completely hold back when I need to hold back
or really go all out when I need to
The difference is that there's no restrictions in being versatile
Today, the members came to cheer me on [A word to the members who came to support you?]
and WOOZI was also the last to visit
I'm really thankful
and I think it really feels new
The members came and said all this was so cool
I also think it's cool that I'm shooting a music video
And for me it's also cool
that when you're a trainee you sing entire songs by yourself
but after debuting, you don't get that many chances to sing a whole song
And we mostly do promos as a group
So when I first came here and filmed the singing scenes
it felt so awkward for me to sing the entire song
I also thought "How am I going to fill all this up?"
Whenever we recorded, I always had short lines in the introduction or chorus
but since I have to sing the entire song now
I had a lot of thoughts about "How can I sing so that the
song has a definite plot?"
I think it was a time for me to really improve
It was a big step up for me
[The performance you showed us was very innovative and the choreography was so cool]
The song itself is like you're trapped in a spider web
so we had bars installed to make it look like I was stuck inside
Choreographer Youngjun gave me this idea
The dancers and I stayed up all night to put together the choreography
so I think that's how we came up with such a special routine
I hope that this performance gives you a refreshing jolt
Since I'm SEVENTEEN's performance leader
I felt a bit of pressure while preparing
Thinking, how can I make it more original
and what can I show them as SEVENTEEN's performance leader
So I worked even harder to prepare
You'll be able to see a new side to me
a new choreography, and lots of different charms, so please stay tuned
Thank you
