The8 and Hoshi are two members of Seventeen who are skilled in martial arts. The8 started practicing kung fu and wushu when he was five years old, and he won many awards in martial arts competitions, including over 40 awards throughout his life. He is also very good at dancing and combines his martial arts skills with dance moves.
Hoshi is another skilled martial artist in the group, holding a black belt in taekwondo. He was very good at taekwondo when he was young and even became a champion, but he chose not to pursue it as a career because he didn’t want to cut his hair, which is required for professional athletes. Hoshi’s experience in taekwondo has helped him with his dance skills, as he often incorporates taekwondo poses into his choreography.
Both The8 and Hoshi are part of Seventeen’s Performance Unit, where they showcase their dance and martial arts skills. The8 is known for his flips and jumps, while Hoshi is recognized for his choreography and leadership in the group. Their backgrounds in martial arts have contributed to their success as performers and have helped make Seventeen one of the most popular K-pop groups today.
