SEVENTEEN member Hoshi released his first all-English solo track, “Fallen Superstar,” on November 11 at 6 p.m. KST, marking his latest musical venture roughly two months after his previous solo release.
The song arrived as both a digital single and accompanying music video through Pledis Entertainment, the label operating under HYBE Music Group.
The track tells the narrative of two emotionally wounded individuals discovering solace and warmth through their connection despite their personal struggles. The composition blends contrasting musical elements, featuring rapid-tempo drumming paired with expressive guitar melodies, while Hoshi’s nuanced vocals infuse the piece with emotional depth and poetic intensity.
International music industry professionals contributed to the single’s creation. These include songwriter and composer Andrew Goldstein, recognized for his work with prominent artists including Maroon 5 and Katy Perry, who collaborated on the track alongside American singer-songwriter JXDN, who received nominations for the MTV Video Music Awards. This marks Hoshi’s debut into English-language solo releases since his professional debut, expanding his reach to global audiences.
The music video presents the song’s thematic elements through refined visual storytelling, depicting concepts of falling and love through sophisticated cinematography. The promotional teaser, unveiled at midnight before the release, showcased reversed imagery of a fractured guitar and Hoshi falling through space. Additionally, the teaser featured a guitar pick inscribed with the phrase “You’re just a Fallen Superstar” alongside a sample of the song’s melody, generating heightened anticipation among fans before the full release.
Hoshi has steadily expanded his musical portfolio beyond SEVENTEEN‘s group endeavors and collaborative unit projects. His September release “TAKE A SHOT” achieved significant commercial success, gaining top positions on the iTunes Worldwide Song Chart. Throughout his solo career, he has released diverse tracks such as “Damage” featuring Timbaland, “I Want You Back,” and “STAY,” each demonstrating varied musical styles and artistic direction.
The singer currently serves on active military duty, having enlisted for mandatory service in September. He remains scheduled for discharge on March 15, 2027. Despite this military commitment, Hoshi continues fulfilling solo artistic obligations, maintaining his presence in the music industry through strategically timed releases.
