Hoshi and Woozi, the dynamic duo from SEVENTEEN, are set to release their first single album titled 'BEAM' today, March 10, at 6 PM KST. The title track, '동갑내기' (Same Age Friends), along with all other songs on the album, showcases their collaborative efforts. The two members aim to represent the '96 line with originality and self-love in this new project.

Teasers for the '동갑내기' music video, released on March 8 and 9, have heightened anticipation for their performance, featuring catchy lyrics like "Wait a minute, Hoo's here" and "Let's do it like us, Same Age Friends." The playful choreography, including high-fives and arm-crossing, highlights their genuine friendship.

In a recent interview with their agency, Pledis Entertainment, Hoshi and Woozi shared their thoughts on the album.

**Q: How do you feel about releasing 'BEAM'?**

**Hoshi:** I've always been close to Woozi since we were kids. I've dreamed of doing unit activities together, and I'm excited to finally share 'BEAM' with everyone. We poured our hearts into the music, and we plan to enjoy the stage.

**Woozi:** I'm thrilled to release new music with my best friend. We had a lot of fun working on it, and I believe we've created an honest album.

**Q: What about the title track '동갑내기'?**

**Hoshi:** I think it's a song that truly represents us! Woozi and I love to dance and have fun whenever we hear a song we like. We approached the new tracks with a genuine love for music.

**Q: How was the collaboration with So!YoON! on the track 'PINOCCHIO'?**

**Woozi:** When we were working on 'PINOCCHIO (feat. So!YoON!)', I thought it would be great to have a talented female vocalist. I reached out to So!YoON!, and she was quick to agree. I'm really grateful for her participation.

**Q: What new aspects did you discover about each other during the making of 'BEAM'?**

**Hoshi:** Woozi's producing skills are well-known, but he's also an amazing dancer, a true 'multi-talented idol'! I want to showcase a more free and enjoyable side of myself this time, different from my previous work with the group.

**Woozi:** We've known each other for so long that it's hard to discover new sides. However, I always strive to do my best, even if I don't think I have anything particularly unique to show.

**Q: What do you think you did well on 'BEAM'?**

**Hoshi:** I'm really happy with how the jacket photos turned out. Thanks to the amazing staff for capturing great shots. I think I look good! ♥

**Woozi:** I think we can commend ourselves for how much fun we had working on it. Since it's an album with my best friend, I hope it leaves us with great memories.

**Q: What qualities of each other have positively influenced you?**

**Hoshi:** Woozi's dedication to whatever he focuses on and his wise, sometimes cold decision-making inspire me.

**Woozi:** Hoshi is closely associated with the word 'superstar' for me. His passion is a significant driving force in my life.

**Q: Have there been experiences that helped you love or believe in yourself more since your trainee days?**

**Hoshi:** It's definitely our fans, CARAT. They believe in and love me more than I do myself, which gives me strength to move forward.

**Woozi:** When the members express that they need me, I feel valued and that gives me a sense of light (BEAM) within myself.

**Q: How did the other SEVENTEEN members react to 'BEAM'?**

**Hoshi:** I played the new songs for the members beforehand, and they all loved it, saying it exceeded their expectations. They encouraged me to go out and rock the stage.

**Q: Any message for CARATs waiting for 'BEAM'?**

**Hoshi:** We want to shine back the light you've given us. We hope our music and performances bring you happiness. Please support us during the 'BEAM' activities.

**Woozi:** CARATs, I wish you all health and happiness! ♥
