SEVENTEEN's Hoshi comments on BTS' significance in the creation of HYBE Label in preview of Hangout with Yoo's upcoming episode

SEVENTEEN is a 13-piece K-pop group housed under HYBE Label. In 2015, the group debuted under Pledis Entertainment, however, when BigHit Entertainment was rebranded and expanded in 2021, it accommodated several other K-pop agencies in the industry, including Pledis Entertainment. This, thereby makes SEVENTEEN a HYBE artist.

Recently, the group announced their comeback with the album, SEVENTEEN The Best "17 Is Right Here," which is slated for release on April 29, at 6 pm KST. To promote the same, the group has begun appearing on South Korean reality shows, and will soon be seen on MBC's Hangout With Yoo. The show, which began in 2019, sheds light on the events and activities of the MC, Yoo Jae-suk, during his days off.

He often invites several Korean celebrities to participate in a number of activities. The preview of the upcoming episode, released on April 26, featured Yoo Jae-suk visiting the three members from SEVENTEEN, DK, Hoshi, and Seungkwan at their agency's headquarters.

HYBE Label is known for being grand and stands as one of the biggest and most successful entertainment agencies in the K-pop industry. Therefore, several individuals are often amazed by the massive agency headquarters, and Yoo Jae-suk was no exception.

The three members, Hoshi, DK, and Seungkwan, otherwise known as the SEVENTEEN subunit, BooSeokSoon, welcomed the MC and his crew at the entrance of the building. Soon after the initial formalities, the crew expressed that the company was ginormous. The crew members stated that though they had been to YG and JYP Entertainment, the scale of HYBE was different. Yoo Jae-suk said:

"We've been to JYP and YG Entertainment. They were all enormous."

This comment was followed up by another crew member stating:

"I wanted it to end at YG but I didn't think we'd come until here. The scale is ... It's amazing. It's so absurd."

As the crew members exclaimed how astonished they were by the agency, Hoshi mentioned that the headquarters often felt like a picnic for the members. He also credited BTS for HYBE's grandness.

Fans appreciated Hoshi's recognition and appreciation of the hard work BTS had put into making BigHit Entertainment one of the most successful agencies in the music industry. BTS debuted under the agency in 2013 and soon rose to fame before BigHit converted into a large-scale label, HYBE.
