Horanghae is closely tied to Seventeen and its fandom, CARATs, through member Hoshi, whose tiger image has become a running joke and badge of identity for fans. The word itself plays on the Korean word for tiger, and fans use the short clip as shorthand for that persona in edits, reaction videos and social posts. Because it is instantly recognisable to other CARATs without needing explanation, it continues to circulate as a quick signal of shared fandom, especially around comebacks, concerts and birthday projects for Hoshi.
