Carats, the moment we’ve been waiting for is finally here! SEVENTEEN’s powerhouse duo, Hoshi and Woozi, just dropped their first official unit album, Beam, on March 10 and it’s everything we hoped for and more!

π₯ A Friendship Turned Musical Magic
Hoshi and Woozi, both born in 1996, have been inseparable since their trainee days. Known as the "Mastermind Duo" of SEVENTEEN, their collaboration brings together Hoshi’s dynamic performance energy and Woozi’s genius as a producer. Their decade long bond shines through in *Beam*, making the album feel raw, personal, and authentic.


π΅ Tracklist: Bops Only!
The album features three tracks:
- "Pinnochio" A smooth R&B track featuring indie singer So!YoON!
- "96ers" The title track, a high energy anthem celebrating their journey and self-love.
- "Stupid Idiot" A fun, playful song with inside jokes for Carats.
"96ers" especially stands out, with lyrics reflecting their shared history from "runny nosed trainees" to global idols. It’s also packed with Easter eggs referencing SEVENTEEN’s past songs and even their reality show Nana Tour.
