SEVENTEEN New Album Announcement
Get ready, CARATs! K-pop powerhouse SEVENTEEN is gearing up for a massive celebration. The beloved group has officially announced their return with a brand-new studio album, perfectly timed to coincide with a major milestone: their 10th anniversary. It`s a thrilling time for fans who have eagerly awaited new music since the group`s last full-length project nearly three years ago.
This album follows their last studio release, Face the Sun, which came out in 2022. According to an official press release, the unique title `Happy Burstday` cleverly combines "birthday" and "burst". It represents SEVENTEEN`s desire for an "explosive rebirth" as they enter a new decade, embracing reinvention and a fearless evolution of their sound and image.
The excitement doesn`t stop with the album release. SEVENTEEN dropped the news with a dramatic and cinematic teaser video. Set in a grimy subway station, the clip featured a mysterious floating black envelope teasing a "new tour", a "new unit single album", and other exclusive "SEVENTEEN content". The suspense built until a birthday cake dramatically burst into flames, revealing the album`s title.
Member Seungkwan also fuelled tour anticipation, assuring fans, “We know how much our fans are waiting for us there. I can’t say for sure at this point in time, but we’re definitely talking to the company, and we want to make it happen."
