13 Times SEVENTEEN’s Hoshi Proved He’s Just As Talented As Any Professional Choreographer

Frequently, K-Pop groups rely on outside choreographers to make the dances for their songs. That’s rarely the case for SEVENTEEN. Performance unit leader Hoshi is known to create or co-create most of the group’s choreographies, which is an astounding feat on it’s own, but it’s made even more impressive that the group has 13 members – and they are nearly always perfectly synced, despite differences in experience and skill levels.

Hoshi is a genius choreographer that deserves immense respect.  Here are 13 times he showed that he could be ranked just as high as any professional choreographer.

1. The time and commitment he put into perfecting the emotions for Don’t Wanna Cry

hoshi studied contemporary dance to make the moves in this choreo portray all the emotions that are felt from the lyrics and the emotion he shows here with just his expression looking like he’s about to cry during ‘don’t wanna cry’ isnt talked about enoughpic.twitter.com/EYhEl5ew1I
