SEVENTEEN's Hoshi drops love song 'Boyfriend' during military service

South Korean boy band SEVENTEEN's Hoshi has released a new digital single titled "Boyfriend" during his military service. The track, set to drop at 6 p.m. on Saturday, is an R&B-inspired pop song about the delicate process of courting a romantic partner. Hoshi, who enlisted in the Army on September 16 of the previous year, co-wrote the lyrics for "Boyfriend".

The song features a light-hearted shuffle rhythm and synthesizer sounds. Hoshi had previously released "Take a Shot", a hip-hop track, on the day of his enlistment. Since his military duty began, Pledis Entertainment, SEVENTEEN's label, has continued to release solo projects from the members, including Hoshi's "Fallen Superstar" in November and "Baby, Honey" in March.

Other members of the group are also focusing on individual projects while dealing with their respective military service schedules. SEVENTEEN's Jun recently released his first Chinese-language track.
