SEVENTEEN’s Hoshi has shared the inspiration behind his first-ever solo release, ‘Spider’.In a recent interview with Esquire Korea, the K-pop idol shared that he began working on the song in 2018, after a tarot card reading revealed that he would release a solo song in 2021. “It also said that I would fail if I didn’t prepare extremely hard.

I’m normally not the type to believe these things, but it somehow made me believe it,” he said, as translated by Soompi.Enlisting the help of SEVENTEEN’s Woozi, who co-writes and -produces most of the group’s songs, he was able to put the track together after the group’s 2020 world tour was cancelled due to COVID-19. “If I couldn’t perform on stage, I wanted to at least release a song through SoundCloud.
