HOSHI’s BOYFRIEND: Official Film and Two Next Songs

Start with HOSHI’s “BOYFRIEND,” released on October 10, 2026, and its official Performance Film. If its fresh romance appeals to you, try the more restrained “Baby, Honey” next. For a guitar-led alternative, choose “SNAPBACK.” All three are HOSHI solo singles released in 2026.

This guide puts the new song beside two useful follow-ups, with the exact official videos and the Korean title you may encounter while searching. The listening routes are Kpop From Seoul’s editorial suggestions, based on the releases’ published descriptions.

Start with “BOYFRIEND” and the official Performance Film

HOSHI is a member of SEVENTEEN, and this release is credited to him as a solo artist. PLEDIS Entertainment’s announcement gives the digital release as October 10 at 6 pm KST. The US Apple Music listing now identifies it as a one-song single under PLEDIS Entertainment.

The release introduction and song credits on Melon describe R&B-based pop with a shuffle groove and bright synthesizer sounds. Its subject is the excitement of approaching someone while still learning how love feels. That combination makes it a useful entry point for listeners interested in a romance-focused solo song.

The official upload below is titled Performance Film. Choose it when you want the song together with its filmed performance; choose the streaming single above when you want to add the recording to a music library. These are two ways into the same release, rather than a reason to search for a separate song called “Performance Film.”

Two catalogue details help with unfamiliar labels. Melon places the single in its broad Dance category while the written introduction describes R&B-based pop; a menu category and a description can operate at different levels. Its credits list HOSHI among the lyricists, alongside Jin Jeon and Heon Seo. That is a specific writing contribution; song composition and film-production credits are separate lists.

Three 2026 singles, three listening routes
Song and digital releaseVerified detail → suggested next step
BOYFRIEND
October 10, 2026
Shuffle groove and bright synths frame a first confession. Start here for the new release, then choose a follow-up according to whether you want a restrained arrangement or guitar texture.
Baby, Honey / 아기자기
March 14, 2026
A minimal beat and delicate melody accompany an intimate love-song theme. Our next choice if you want to explore the voice within a more restrained arrangement.
SNAPBACK
June 15, 2026
Old-school-style guitar and rhythmic energy accompany the pull of attraction. Our alternative if you want a different instrumental focus while staying with HOSHI’s 2026 solo work.

“Baby, Honey” and “아기자기”: two titles for the same song

You may find this March single as “Baby, Honey” in Apple Music’s US catalogue, while the official video and Korean music services use “아기자기”, read approximately as a-gi-ja-gi. Matching the artist, March 14 release and official video helps you find the right track across languages.

The release introduction on Bugs explains a wordplay connecting the affectionate names “Baby” and “Honey” with the Korean expression “아기자기해.” The English catalogue title is a useful search term; it does not label a separate English-version recording. PLEDIS’s release notice dates the song to March 14 at 6 pm KST.

“SNAPBACK”: follow the guitar route

The SNAPBACK release introduction on Bugs describes old-school-style guitar and a playful attraction theme: being drawn back to someone. The official notice gives June 15 at 6 pm KST as its release. Its official video is another Performance Film, making it a useful counterpart to the new “BOYFRIEND” upload.

A short route into HOSHI’s solo music

Begin with “BOYFRIEND,” then pick one follow-up rather than treating this as a compulsory playlist. “Baby, Honey” develops the more restrained route; “SNAPBACK” changes the instrumental emphasis. The three release descriptions give you concrete differences to compare while forming your own preference.

To place HOSHI within the larger group, our SEVENTEEN members and units guide supplies the next piece of context. For a different recent-song comparison, see LE SSERAFIM’s “Made My Night” original and EJAE versions. Find more listening routes at Start Here, or return to Kpop From Seoul.
