The singer looks back on this homophobic attack which almost disfigured her

In Click, it was about the first attack, the one which took place within her college, that Hoshi spoke out. “There was a girl who came, took my head and slammed it against the ground. It was winter, so there was ice. A supervisor intervened and stopped me before I ended up completely disfigured.” she said. “We live in permanent stress”, added the singer. Especially since she didn’t feel supported at all. “No one does anything.” It is because of everything she has experienced that Hoshi decided to make music and mix her fight into it.
