Kim Eana, one of SK most respected lyricists, gave the highest praise to Hoseok's lyrics in Jack In The Box

When they’re discussing his lyrics she even kinda got goosebumps while he was explaining his thoughts behind lyrics, how he worked on anything, his wordplay, etc. He really deserved to hear all that said to him directly, he really needs to get such feedback in face.

I love how these 3 beautiful women cornered Hoseok with praises and compliments so he just had no way to escape) This is how it should be done, cause mf gives himself zero credit so god bless them for putting Hoseok into compliments jail as one k-fan called it)

The amount of praises Hoseok and his debut is getting from actual professionals is insane tbh. And the fact that he is praised in every single area possible from lyrics to performances - just wow! Hoseok's debut is really very HIGHLY critically acclaimed. And it's all about him and him only, nor group nor company has anything to do with him shining so brightly with his art, it's indeed him individually and his music and talent which is reaching all these people. Hoseok has so much potential, it's mindblowing how he reached all these even with bare minimum of support from company.
