SEVENTEEN's Hoshi and Lee Soo-hyuk's reunion at the premiere of his film, LOST, garnered attention online. On Wednesday, April 9, 2025, LOST premiered in cinemas across South Korea, and Lee Soo-hyuk appeared at a cinema hall reportedly to greet his fans, and Hoshi also attended the premiere. Lee Soo-hyuk called Hoshi to greet the fans and took pictures with him. Their interaction left the moviegoers in surprise.
Later, the SEVENTEEN member took to his official Instagram page and gave a glimpse of watching the film in the theatre. He wrote,
“Woah... seriously, the scenario is so cool. Everyone to the movie theatre, let's go.”
The Queen Woo actor reposted his story with a response saying,
“Thanks for coming! my cat dongsaeng.”
This sent waves of excitement among the common fans of SEVENTEEN and the actor, as they were delighted to see them together. They turned to X to express their thoughts about their reunion.

"We are so back," a fan said.
"Hoshi is a loyal dongsaeng. I thought it was a vip movie premiere, but it turned out that he went to Lee soohyuk 's stage greeting for his/the movie fans," a fan said.
"God i missed the soohyoshi era so blessed so grateful rn," a user stated.
Hoshi's representative animal is a tiger, and he likes to follow the concept of being called the same. However, some SEVENTEEN members amusingly refuse to call him so to tease him. Fans assumed Lee Soo-hyuk was teasing Hoshi by addressing him as a cat.
"Now this makes me wonder seriously if hoshi protests when he gets called a cat by lsoohyuk!! does he just accept it (since technically tigers and cats are of the same family) or does he strongly deny it 😭😭," a fan commented.
"Hoshi has done the horanghae pose a million times in front of Soohyuk but Soohyuk calls him a cat," another fan commented.
"He just like other seventeen member, a tiger hater, he called the tiger as a cat dongsaeng?!," a user wrote.
